Hey there, Shenanites! In this episode, Seth tries to spoil things, but Adam and Sam stop him. Also! We talk about the genesis of Levelhead early access, beefy switch magic, and the PJP rite of passage. To paraphrase Leonard Bernstein: all you need for greatness is a plan and not quite enough time.

Want to meet up with us? We have a GDC meet-up on March 18 at 4:30p! Keep an eye on the Twitters for updates and more info. Plus, get your tickets for Shenanicon 2019 at https://meet.bscotch.net!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • ANGRY MUFFIN: Will the Veeru be making an appearance in LeveLHead?
  • Dapvoo Doopokool: Would you ever consider doing a behind the scenes look at making the podcast?
  • Beekie Boppaboop: What’s one small thing that you’ve done or gotten that’s made your life much better?
  • Cpt. Jazz: Adam, according to your LinkedIn page, one of the societies you were a part of back in uni was "Chicago Men's A Cappella." Care to give us a sample of what went down up there?
  • CreatorRedA: Have you ever gotten a business card from someone that you actually used? On a related note, what are your opinions on self promotion?
  • Mopait Flatunk: Does Seth still stream on the weekends? Is there an archive of the videos somewhere?
  • Cerator: I‘ve heard about this memory palace technique you explained, but haven’t tried it. Do you think it could also work twice? Would you have to choose a different route when memorizing another list of things to prevent mixing up those two lists? Does this also work for lists that change on a daily basis like grocery lists?

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.
