Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss Robinwatch 2019, what to do when your mower can’t cut it anymore, and how you get garbage. Is Seth lurking in Discord because of FOMO, or is something afoot in Levelhead? Remember, uselessness is context dependent. The most important thing is to just be a person.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • VikIsThicc: Will GR-18 be added to the podcast mural?
  • Zivix: When will GR-18 (and more importantly, a popjaw) get a spot in the Coffee with Butterscotch fireside portrait?
  • cprice: Would you guys ever consider doing a Levelhead user-created content stream?
  • Ronkdonka Grinmail: Seth mentioned some physics changes he recently make to Levelhead that boosted performance something like 9 million times. Could you touch on what changes were made?
  • BscotchChristine: Have any of you participated in a underwater basket weaving competition?
  • imcade: As an employer, what do you think is the most important quality for an employee? How do you find that out before you hire someone?

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.
