[Ep211] The Mongers You Know

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans July 3, 2019 Duration: 1:07:23

Hi, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss head to toe calluses, a demo journey, and the great wishlist purge of 2019. Plus, some news on spooky stones and necessary evils. Wouldn’t your day just be better if the internet was filled with infinite kittens? (Built-in razors not included.) Better find yourself a specialized monger for that.

  • Huka Ittyguy: Have you ever bought a game you didn't expect to enjoy, but ended up enjoying it anyway?

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.
