today I spent 1 hour making a rotating magic wand for my next game Magic Stones.
Yes, 1 hour. You might think I’m crazy 🙂
In effect, while I was making it, often I thought “this is a waste of my time” – and really time is the most precious of all things (for anyone, not only for a indie dev!).
The final effect satisfy me, even if still I wonder if that was time well spent.. 🙂 anyway I want to polish my next game a lot, and I want to put attention even to details like mouse pointer (yes sorry forgot to tell you, the magic want will be the mouse pointer!).
You might be curious to see it now, here it goes:
