Hello again, Shenanites! We’re solidly floating down Refactoria River in the in-between - it’s a place where you go to make things better! In this episode, we talk about battle royales, snake people, and why Tyler Durden never had a vegetable garden. I mean, you just gotta get in there.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Duckmaster: Is coffee the source of all life?
  • imcade: Would you ever do like a recap podcast episode?
  • MySecretWeapon: In past episodes, you've talked about submitting talks to things like GDC that get shot down. Would you ever consider doing some of the talks in house anyway as a YouTube series or something?
  • RetroBananaManNL: Your moving gametitles on the main screens are amazing, but how did you do it?
  • Ps7cho: So being people who test and learn what are your thoughts on open development for snuppies?
  • Angrymuffin: Scuffle Buddies has creature capturing/taming in an "overworld" then the buddies are used in GLORIOUS BATTLE. The method of capture "set a trap, then reel in a tether" sounds a LOT like the birding game. Right track?
  • MySecretWeapon: When are we going to get our See Thru Dang Tank in the merch shop?
  • coolaboola: My son is excited about Level Head and would like to know if it will be ready for his birthday or Xmas, and will there be a dinosaur?

Pull up a chair and pour something warm. Each week, the folks behind the award-winning indie studio Butterscotch Shenanigans-the creators of Crashlands-sit down to untangle the messy, rewarding, and often absurd reality of making games. Coffee with Butterscotch feels less like a formal broadcast and more like eavesdropping on a freewheeling conversation between friends who’ve been in the trenches. You’ll hear them dissect the nuts and bolts of development, from art pipelines to bug-squashing, but the discussion rarely stays in the technical lane. It veers into the philosophy of creativity, the rollercoaster of running a small business, and the strange habits that fuel productivity. The tone is unfiltered and genuinely funny, because the hosts don’t separate the work from the life surrounding it. This podcast digs into how to solve problems, ship your projects, and keep your sanity while doing it, all served with a heavy dose of camaraderie and self-deprecating humor. It’s a weekly dose of insight and laughter for anyone curious about the stories behind the screen, whether you're a seasoned developer, an aspiring creator, or just someone who enjoys peeking behind the curtain of how things are made.
