[Ep232] Defiance Oriented

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans November 15, 2019 Duration: 1:04:51

Ahoy, Shenanites! In this episode (which is actually 232, so... ya know), we discuss hot reloads, the meaning of meat, and A BIG NEWS ALERT. Sometimes you can find your joy in making shit games, and sometimes you can find it in head sweater tubes. Either way, the important thing is the joy.

Send us AS MANY (good) QUESTIONS AS YOU CAN. Because we’re going to be recording DOUBLE, and we need your ideas! Also, we can all agree that 2019 is a garbage year, right? Now’s the time to think about what to name 2020! Can it top twenty-plenty? If so, let us know! Go to https://podcast.bscotch.net to submit either or both. Or, if you’re running dry on ideas, vote for your favorite questions and suggestions!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • BscotchChristine: We don't hear enough about the Bscotch ladies! How did you meet your wives? What is something about them we don't know? ----- Diana’s IG: dianazeng_ (https://bit.ly/2NzmHLo) ----- Jen’s Twitter and IG: jcalyst (https://bit.ly/2p7i4yL) ----- Sampada’s IG: sampada6361 (https://bit.ly/2O4Feyn)
  • DwarvenJester: So now that Seth is an experimental vegetarian, does he still celebrate MeatPieceWeen? Does it become PotatoSliceWeen instead?
  • challosis: Are there any jam/trash/tiny/flash games that you sometimes still go back to?
  • Butterscotch Atheist: Do indie developers avoid the polish stage to save time, or is it because of the AAA studios' relatively massive budget?
  • Gua: Do you believe that for an average indie game developer gameplay innovation usually pays off, or does it more often lead to a complete financial failure? Is it better to make genre games if one does want to continue making indie games?

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.
