[Ep275] Memory Density

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans September 9, 2020 Duration: 59:40

Hey there, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss bounty hunting, comfort games, and chaos engines. Sometimes you need to live life precariously in order to feel truly alive. So, don’t shy away from danger! Balance that scone box on your drink! Balance your peanut butter-y fork on that jar of peanut butter! Balance your meat suit on that wobbly deck railing! Hm… there seems to be some kind of theme here.

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • IrishLuck: What game do you go back to over and over again?
  • Cpt. Jazz: What is the important (or interesting) thing you have learned about yourselves, your team, and your studio during this season of working from home?
  • Mopait Flatunk: GameMaker released a new version with Structs and Functions! How quickly, if at all, do you adopt the new functionality? Do changes to your core technologies like this excite you or cause you anxiety and dread?
  • Retro Banana Man NL: I see Gamemaker Studio 2 has a new patch! What is your experience with it?

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.
