Hiya, Shenanites! This week, we talk about the curse of adults, complex searches, and dog hair rendering. Beware all the ice cream dangers out in the wide wicked world. But if you do drop your cone, you are within your drama rights to shriek your pain to the sky! That’s what we would do.

The Shenanijam is only one month away! Build a game the weekend of July 12-14! Check out https://shenanijam.com for more details. Then, come to St. Louis to detox with us at the Shenanicon on September 28th! Get tickets at https://meet.bscotch.net.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • QuantumAnomaly: Other than your phone, laptop, or personal computer, what's your favorite household appliance?
  • Cajoma01: How much do you guys hang out outside of work? Do you feel that if you didn't work together it would be more or less?
  • Flyhoppie Axerompa: You guys have previously given the impression that despite your parents’ divorce you are close with your dad. Any tips for me from the child perspective of this situation? Anything he specifically did that kept you close?
  • Divo: Do you have any tips for making my game discoverable on saturated platforms?

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.
