[Ep388] Three Week Day

[Ep388] Three Week Day

Author: Butterscotch Shenanigans November 9, 2022 Duration: 44:50

This week, we talk about conflicts of interest, typing speed, and a living hell. Doing new things is good and cool! But it’s important to understand that the context you’re coming from and the one you’re going into are different. Assuming expertise in one field just because you’re an expert in another can be costly. That cost is mostly paid in failure. The question is, who’s paying for it?


00:00 Intro

01:30 Thanks to our supporters! (https://moneygrab.bscotch.net)


Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • 02:24 LankbonkaPandang: As fairly experienced indie devs, do you guys feel like a publisher with a strong sense of individuality could be a way forward for indie games that may get left in the dust? Is there anything particular that y'all would like to see?
  • 24:25 challosis: Have y'all ever tried alternative keyboard layouts such as Dvorak? Or used the Charachorder again?

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.
