[Ep146] Double Neutron Star

[Ep146] Double Neutron Star

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans April 18, 2018 Duration: 1:07:26

Buckle up, Shenanites! In this week’s episode, we talk about lubing up your ABS, how to frustrate squirrels, and why group projects are the worst. Are ballet dancers just traveling burrito magicians? When should you downgrade your baby to river rocks? This is gonna get zany.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Gerf99: Any tips to keep people excited and focused on creating rather than procrastinating?
  • Farseer: Butt-erscotch, A-S-S brothers, Rump-us. Everything comes back to your backsides, so who has the best butt? Any hilarious butt related stories? Regarding above question, I have "arse" in my name, I'm qualified.
  • cctechwiz: How do you go about setting expectations and getting (willing) support from those around you to devote so much of your time to working on what you love? Do you ever struggle with balancing family time and taking time to sharpen your skill sets?
  • Angrymuffin: In episode 17 Seth, you went to Chipotle and got a tardis burrito. Have you seen this any other times? Have you gotten one yourself or even tested the limits of how much can fit in a tardis burrito? What is your favorite stuff to put in a burrito?
  • Aviox: Are any of you owners of VR hardware? What is your opinion on the current tech and experience?
  • BlondeViking91: Your bit on ethics in player-made content brought up my head of publishing's affirmation that 'time to penis' is a very real, measurable phenomenon with any shared player input, starting even with usernames. We make social mobile games and suffer for it!
  • ohnoimdead: You never published the Crashlands editor for fear of toxic culture (and penises everywhere), however, you have now made a game that is half editor. How are you going to screen for penises (not just naughty language)?

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.
