[Ep160] Infinite Spider Jars

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans July 18, 2018 Duration: 1:10:00

Salutations, Shenanites! In this episode, we talk about the squeaky pulley crew, bus pants, and how turnip beauty standards make Sam cry. Do you feel selfsmug about your painvestments? Because sometimes you can’t portmanteau your way out of a situation.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Anonymous: As game devs how do you feel when someone says they want to play a game where you can do anything?
  • imcade: Have you ever had a bad experience with a game you were looking forward to not live up to what you expected?
  • Haxplixer: You like free software, so would you like free games with no money grabbing system? I'm thinking for your jam games?
  • CoffeeChemist: You guys are allowed to take one creature and one character from one of your games. Who and what would it be and why?
  • imcade: What is the first album you ever owned?
  • TheUglyTurnip: You talked about how you helped create One Epic Knight. Can you tell us the juicy bits and how you created the game?

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.
