Hey there, Shenanites! Welcome to the last Coffee with Butterscotch episode of 20gr18! This week, we talk about holiday creep, hand films, and version control. We’ll see you in 20 fine teen! 20 crime teen? Hm. Better workshop it some more.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • bamhm182: We are now in the last month of 20gr18. How have you guys stopped f***in' around? Do you feel like you accomplished more this year than prior years?
  • RetroBananaManNL: Where do you get your industry news information from?
  • Dageki: How do you DO version control on your code? When you do DO code, do you follow any particular style (agile, etc)?
  • doombrowski: I've been working on a game off and on for about 2 years now. The full gameplay loop is playable but there's still hardly any content in it. Should I go into early access or wait to release with what I feel is adequate content?

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.
