[Ep215] Three Hour Buckets

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans July 24, 2019 Duration: 1:07:48

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we talk about virtual nightsoil, suit up preparations, and corner multiplicity. Then we get really honest about that wily entity called time--why is there never enough? Plus, we had quarterly reviews last week, and things have totally flown off the rails! Wanna hear how? Pull up a coffee and take a listen.

Ever wanted to catch a peek of our long lost game ScuffleBuddies? Sounds like you should come to the second annual Bscotch Shenanicon! More info at https://meet.bscotch.net -- spots are limited, so snag your ticket ASAP!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • BscotchChristine: Before, you guys mentioned on wanting to be an entertainment studio. Is that still the goal or has it shifted to be solely focused on games?
  • ANGRY MUFFIN: What was your favorite part of the Shenanicon last year? What part did you look back and think, we could/should have DEFINITELY NOT done that part?
  • Drell: Recently I started a 9-5 gamedev job, and when the ShenaniJam started, I was too tired to participate. How do you guys have the energy to do all of the extra things you do? Especially when they are related to what you do for a living?
  • Zivix: What will you guys do if the podcast questions page ever runs out of questions? Karaoke segment?
  • Beekie Boppaboop: How well can you estimate how long a feature will take to build? Do you have any tips on how to do that?

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.
