[Ep253] TP Bamboozlement

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans April 8, 2020 Duration: 1:07:37

Hi, Shenanites! In this episode, we talk about sports humans, the bidet contingent, and getting on the Ferris wheel. The Levelhead launch is now less than four weeks away, and the gold build is done! Who knew that three bug fixes and changing a zero to a one would be so emotional. When you break through a milestone, there’s often a goal vacuum left behind. We should probably fill it with more than peanut butter whisky and mouthwash...

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Flyhoppie Axerompa: If you gave your wives full creative control over your next game project, but were still in charge of the technical execution of creating that game, what would that project look like?
  • Butterscotch Atheist: Thoughts on looking at other game’s game reviews and learning from their mistakes?
  • TimConceivable: ADAM! With the TP shortage of 2020, are you going to finally hook up that bidet?
  • cprice: What are your views on post-launch business models in indie games?
  • Vuvu987: Seth, you went on a quest for gains a few episodes ago. Do you have any tips for a quest for loss?
  • Underscrum Rompyyerblee: You are each stuck on different islands for the rest of your lives and you can only have one book, one alcoholic beverage, and play one video game. What do you choose?

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.
