How’s it going, Shenanites? In this episode, we talk about Sisyphian tasks, relationship FOMO, and reasonable metrics. When you’re trying to measure the truth and all you have are proxies, you have to ask yourself: what truth do you actually care about? Probably the one with the euphonium and the flaming coconuts.

Note: Sam says ADD, but that term isn’t used any longer. The current terminology is ADHD.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Mimmabip Gourkee: Seth talks about the WoW problem, where the more streamlined the game gets, the harder it is to connect with people. Do you guys see this problem happening in real life and do you have any experiences?
  • Gabe: What talent/ability do each of you have that might surprise us?
  • Alsastre: How many lines of code does Level Head consist of? What do you use for VCS? Dark or light mode?

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.
