[Ep195] Generic Fourth-person Crate Reenactment

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans March 20, 2019 Duration: 1:03:13

Hi again, Shenanites! This week, we discuss why we go to bed early, monsters packing heat, and plastic T-rexes on a stick. Plus, incentives, auto-scaling, and learning from other people’s design issues. Finally, we’ll leave you with this question to ponder--Do you value the rain?

PS: Want to get your hands on some Bscotch merch? There’s a clearance sale going on at https://shop.bscotch.net! PPS: Shenanijam is coming up on July 12! Check out details at https://shenanijam.com. PPPS: ALSO, Shenanicon 2019! It’s happening! Get your tickets at https://meet.bscotch.net!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • VikIsThicc: Do you have something against floating heads?
  • MySecretWeapon: What's a real world location you've always wanted to visit but haven't been able to? As a bonus, what's your favorite genre of food?
  • Zivix: If you were releasing Crashlands with the knowledge you have today, would you still have launched on mobile and desktop on the same? If not, what would your approach be? How much time would you leave in between the releases?
  • Peabnuts123: Can you please call this episode “generic top-down shooter” so that I might get an easier category in the next Shenanijam?
  • Zuleo: Do you all have any tips on keeping up with taxes with a business, especially if you have your game on multiple platforms and stores?

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.
