[Ep295] The Buttermasters of Buttervania

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2021/01/27

Hiya, Shenanites! This week, we talk about proximity to swears, game shaped objects, and one day monarchs. Sometimes it’s fun to jump into a project where you have no earthly idea what to do. That’s why being a side NPC is such a good time. You can do whatever you want because it’s all optional. In this unskippable cutscene, we’ll explain... Questions answered (abbreviated): challosis: If you were an NPC, what side quest would you give the player? Fraser_: What would you guess is the next

2021/01/20

Hey there, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss face down positioning, quiet future knives, and surprise presentations. Do you ever think about how we’re mostly made of bacteria and weird blood? And how your skin can, like, taste things? No? Well, you’re thinking about it now.

[Ep293] Psychological Arms Race

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2021/01/13

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we talk about clearing techdebt, our robot overlords, and a billboard owners. For this ep, we’re light on the news and go to town a few questions. Like break strategies. Sometimes you need to take a break from work because your bladder demands it. You just have to decide if it’s a six mug break or a two mug break. Questions answered (abbreviated): Mimmabip Gourkee: What's your work break strategy? Cpt. Jazz: Imagine a future where "jobs" no longer exist. What

[Ep292] Orbital Strike Dunk

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2021/01/06

Happy New Year, Shenanites! In the first episode of 2021, we discuss doll caverns, deep truths, and conscious memorization. This year is all about the dunks, and the first step is gathering intel. Who’s the fastest runner in your workplace? Which of your colleagues can do a backflip? Do you even know? You gotta have an audience to make a dunk. I mean, if a tree dunks in a forest, did it even dunk at all? Questions answered (abbreviated): Beekie Boppaboop: If you can’t picture things in

[Ep291] Finite Checkpoints

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/12/30

Season’s greetings, Shenanites! This week, we talk about chapter ends, an elaborate system of mirrors, and total death traps. It’s the last episode of 2020, so we break down our year in review. What was the timeline? What was our experience? Did we learn any lessons? And as for the future? It’s time for getting stuff done with bombastic butterfly dunks. Questions answered (abbreviated): challosis: What is a design choice one of you pushed hard for that ended up being totally wrong once it

[Ep290] A Firehose of Data

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/12/23

Hi, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss making the right call, horrifying categories, and capitalistic pressures. Plus, we drag a few companies and complain about chores! Sometimes you just reach that “enough” moment and have to put your foot down. Or smack your ceiling with a towel. Questions (sort of) answered (abbreviated): Vuvu987: What are your thoughts on the modern AAA environment, and the practices that take place within it? To stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness

[Ep289] Fruit Stickers

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/12/16

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we talk about boring adventures, picking up soda bottles, and doing things. As in, how do? It’s tempting to look for a system or secret that’s the answer to EVERYTHING, but it turns out that sometimes things are just hard. Strategies work until they don’t, and then you find a new one! Just make sure you don’t use up all your toughness on things like toothaches. That’s what Tylenol is for. Questions answered (abbreviated): challosis: I love being a "jack of all

[Ep288] Liquid Bug Phase

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/12/09

Hey, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss tool inertia, diluting the particulate poo, and math. We tried to take more time for questions this week and ended up airing some grievances. But that’s what happens when you have highly specific pet peeves: one minute you’re talking about slippers, and the next you’re ranting about water slapping nonsense. Seems about par for the course. Questions answered (abbreviated): Mopait Flatunk: Since no one wears shoes during quarantine, are you going

[Ep287] False Gates

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/12/02

Hi, Shenanites! We’re taking a break from our break in order to discuss holiday creep creep (we said what we said), ground warts, and console tribalism. By the time you hear this episode, we’ll be at least half way through the second of two superspreader capitalism event weeks! Stay safe, mask up, and remember, you can always work remotely from Barbados. Questions answered (abbreviated): TimConceivable: SAM!

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/11/25

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we talk about rad cats, content glut, and the indiepocalypse. It’s all about weathering the storm long enough to weatherproof your boat. Although at some point, your boat is so weatherproofed that you’ve reached the threshold of diminishing returns. As with everything, survival is key. Questions answered (abbreviated): Flyhoppie Axerompa: A few people have said there is an unknown but real end date to indiepocalypse. What are your thoughts? To stay up to date

[Ep285] Druid Bias

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/11/18

Heya, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss information diets, radioactive piles of poop, and asynchronous mentorship. All data is spun, but whether you get gold or pasta at the end is unpredictable. Plus, context changes all the time, so maybe someday you’ll WANT spaghetti consequences. Turns out, everything is hard, and it’s just a bunch of triangles anyway, each following a different path.

[Ep284] The Bread-Cake Gradient

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/11/11

Hi, Shenanites! This week, we talk about gummi bear jackets, trash tier debt, and triangular muffins. In reality TV, entertainment trumps function every single time, so it is imperative that we save other baked goods from going the way of the cupcake. Do you really want to live in a world where twelve pounds of frosting are piled on every bread-thing you eat? Which side of the donut wars will you be on?

[Ep283] Monkey Law

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/11/04

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss happy lights, the weird disconnect, and accurate genre classifications. Do you ever think about how weird it is that we’re just a bunch of monkeys that chose to put on clothes and live in a world with rules that are artificially constructed by other monkeys based on the nonsense they believe? Sometimes when we’re in the grind, our minds wander. See these termites? These are money now. Questions answered (abbreviated): Dee Snopek: How long did

[Ep282] Skeleton Gateways

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/10/28

Hey there, Shenanites! This week, we talk about the three stages of animation, the spectrum of engagement, and a weird trifecta of totally oppositional forces. We also talk about cake. Like a lot. Whether you can have it or eat it or both. There are a lot of great outcomes when cake is involved. And skeletons! The easiest way to give permission to grown-ups to have fun is to add a skeleton. And that, friends, is what Halloween is all about. Questions answered (abbreviated): TimConceivable:

[Ep281] Money Value

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/10/21

Salutations, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss real time learning curves, a big dumb week, and the only valuable patents. When you talk about exclusives, you never really talk about who is excluded. For example, Sam is the exclusive recipient of THE LOTS this year, and that means no M&Ms for anyone else. TL;DR Capitalism is bad. Questions answered (abbreviated): challosis: How does your remote project management and co-working system work, now that you've been honing it for a

[Ep280] Big Brain Quarter

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/10/14

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we talk about predeciding, the naming problem, and ending conversations. Our quarterly review revealed that we haven’t done enough thinking about thinking about things because doing things is often a lot easier. Until suddenly it isn’t. Every time a thing is hard, ask yourself, “Does it have to be?” Frankly, we could all use a burrito. Questions answered (abbreviated): challosis: What are the Game Maker project files called for all of your past games? Grintrim

[Ep279] Cupcakes and Mugs

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/10/07

Hi, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss the good kind of spooky, tooling states, and our deficiencies. But how are you supposed to know how the things you’re taught in high school apply to a thing you don’t know you want to do as a job? Try saying that three times fast. Also, try saying the word “weaning.” It’s a dumb word the more you say it. Weaning. Weeeeaaannning. You’ll see. PSA: Depending on where you live, food tampering is a felony. So, ya know, don’t. PS.

[Ep278] Twumbly Beef

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/09/30

Greetings, Shenanites! This week, we talk about sandwich butts, the right pants website, and our time traveling future selves. If you’re ten percent chocolate, are you a touch dead? Is it worse to accept a little more stress or a little more poison? Remember, comfort zones aren’t risk free. So be wary of false dichotomies when you’re workshopping your new YouTube channel.

[Ep277] The New Vaping

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/09/23

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss the sleep stuporous state, quarantine wardrobes, and bot wars. Do you ever think about how bugs are just cute litter butter packets wrapped in a shell? And how many goldfish crackers are calorically equivalent to a butterfly? How big or how small things are is wild. It’s a small pleasure to be able to insulate the people you love from some of the nonsense, but it’s also a pleasure to share some of it. So grab a buddy, grab your coffee, and

[Ep276] The Beautiful Cube

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2020/09/16

Hiya, Shenanites! This week, we talk about tiny poisonous sticks, determinism, and how stuff can be two things. Measurements are trickier than they appear. I mean, we can’t even measure things well enough to know the state of something IN THIS VERY MOMENT. You probably don’t even know what’s behind you RIGHT NOW. Don’t look! It’s for the best. Sam’s IG handle: @bscotch_sam (https://bit.ly/32rFjEH) Questions answered (abbreviated): TheViralMelon: Do you believe in a deterministic
