[Ep169] DNA Chaos

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans September 19, 2018 Duration: 1:07:23

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we discuss battery babies, long grapes, and how people have people brains. Plus, an update on Seth’s splaset! And answers to the oft-asked questions: which is better, a cucumber hat or a cucumber treadmill, and will either solve the problem of being a walking fire?

Haven’t figured out what you’re doing on October 20th yet? Come to the first ever Shenanicon! More info and a link to buy tickets at https://meet.bscotch.net.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • BLAKEBUCK: It's been long enough. I would like an official update on Seth's basement/closet spa.
  • RetroBananaManNL: How is the spa closet going? We haven't had an update in a while.
  • JohnPatChap: What sort of mental checklist (if any) do you all go through to make sure you can tell the difference between a "Can We Not" and a "I Don't Feel Like It"? Basically, how can you make sure that your brain, and your teammates' brains, aren't secretly making excuses to be lazy. Brains love to do that kind of stuff.
  • TheCakegamer: How do you guys manage to get so motivated all the time, is there like a special trick or is it just your personality? Btw do you like puns?

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.
