[Ep524] Watercooler Chat

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/06/11

In this episode, we discuss game libraries, game mods, and the point. Doing this podcast every week doesn’t come anywhere close to paying the bills, but that’s not why we do it. A studio isn’t a content machine chasing dollars; it’s a bunch of people passionate about making cool stuff! It’s good to have that reminder every once in a while.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam:

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/06/04

This week, we talk about studio hats, game dev tools, and learning new languages.Wearing multiple hats isn’t just a metaphor—it’s the daily reality of a small studio. When roles shift and responsibilities blur, the real challenge is keeping things aligned without dropping the whole juggling act.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam:

[Ep522] Generated Chaos

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/05/28

In this episode, we discuss generated faces, internet noise, and brotherly dynamics. A strong sibling bond doesn’t mean zero conflict. It means noticing drift before you’re miles apart and trusting each other enough to realign. There’s no such thing as flawless communication, so you learn to navigate the friction with a mix of clarity, respect, and well-timed eyebrow raises.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer:

[Ep521] Comment Chaos

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/05/21

This week, we talk about patch 1.2, Steam Deck verification, and code comments. Writing code is one thing; leaving behind notes future you can understand is a whole other game. Whether it's chaos in the comments or silence in the source, every line is a choice between clarity and future confusion.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam:

[Ep520] Walking Gorilla

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/05/14

In this episode, we discuss plushies, player feedback, and patch 1.1. Not all feedback is easy to digest. Sometimes it’s sour, spicy, and hard to swallow. But when it’s rooted in genuine player experience, rather than gripes aimed at the devs, player feedback can reveal exactly what a game needs to grow.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam:

[Ep519] Rage Against the Machine

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/05/07

This week, we talk about verification woes, platform power, and the price of play. When a few platforms control all access to players, even the smallest speed bumps can become brick walls. The rules aren’t always clear, and when they are, they aren’t always evenly applied. Turns out, the real chokepoint in game dev isn’t creativity, it’s capitalism!Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam:

[Ep513] Locked & Loaded

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/04/02

This week, we talk about golden builds, crabs, and slippery fish. Some weapons in Crashlands 2 have a catch, literally. If you manage to hook one of these powerful items, you might find that they’re hard to hang on to. Every so often they’ll slip out of your grip mid-swing, and if you don’t snatch them out of the air, they’ll vanish!

This week, we talk about median playtime, weapon balance, and revisiting our older games. From chaotic co-op antics to echolocation-based platforming, our game jam experiments were always a blast, even if they were never quite commercially viable.

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2025/02/05

This week, we talk about achievements, game modes, and getting older. With age comes creaking joints, a myriad of responsibilities, and the horrors. But getting older also grants you the freedom to let go of the nonsense, clarity on what truly matters, and maybe, if you’re lucky, even a majestic beard. Is that what wisdom is?Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam Wishlist:
