[Ep198] Dental Crisis

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans April 10, 2019 Duration: 1:09:02

Hey there, Shenanites! In this episode, we talk about garbage spirals, the weird obtuseness of review bombs, and coffee in oatmeal. Sometimes one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. But sometimes, trash is trash for everybody.

We have things going on: Murch Purge 2019 is still going on at https://shop.bscotch.net -- snap up all the things before they are gone! Plus, mark your calendars for the Shenanijam (https://shenanijam.com) this July, and get your tickets now for the Shenanicon (https://meet.bscotch.net) this September!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Beekie Boppaboop: Have you ever actually put butterscotch into your coffee?
  • Retro Banana Man NL: Did you guys do contracting work? If so, how did you acquire such tasks?
  • __sai: You guys have mentioned mechanical keyboards a couple times, but have never gone into the details. I want some details.
  • MySecretWeapon: I've always thought that the only thing worse in programming than not knowing why something doesn't work, is not knowing why something DOES work. Have you had any instances like this with LevelHead? How did it affect productivity?

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.
