[Ep170] Jackhammer to Nowhere

[Ep170] Jackhammer to Nowhere

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans September 26, 2018 Duration: 1:09:39

Heyo, Shenanites! This week, we talk about how microwaves impact relativity, how ghost pepper skins taste like fear, and how random usernames bring about thematic cohesion. Grab your NPR fundraising tote and your trash panda notebook - we’re about to do some old school machine teaching.

Your calendar space for October 20th seems curiously blank. Maybe you should fill with with BUTTERSCOTCH SHENANICON 2018! More info at https://meet.bscotch.net.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Krown: You mentioned about building some PCs. What'd you shove in there? Other than your massive cooling fan?
  • Anonymous: It's PeanutEanut. Are there any game modes that won't be in Levelhead?
  • RetroBananaManNL: We haven't heard what the spouses thought of PAX and if it had some kind of impact.
  • doctordino: Will Levelhead will have some kind of long term level-up system?
  • Razr39325: What happened to the naming scheme that you used back in episodes 111 to 116? Why did you do it in the first place?

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.
