2020/02/19

Hi there, Shenanites! This week, we discuss mining for wiznugs, possibly true earth facts, and tooling. Goals you can’t control are simply stressors. You can only build the triangle wagon; other people decide how many triangle wagons they want to buy. Questions answered (abbreviated): lekiy: You often make cyber tools to solve cyber problems. Do you have any examples of making physical tools to solve physical problems? divo: How are your patch notes so beautiful and thorough? Fraser_: How

Heya, Shenanites! In this episode, we talk about distributing polish points, the sine wave of life, and Seth’s sports beeves. With games like Faceball and Killball, it’s amazing anyone makes it out of childhood with their teeth intact. If you don’t want to engage in shin-to-shin or ball-on-base combat, maybe try swimming instead. At least the pool doesn’t bellyflop you -- YOU bellyflop IT.

Hello, Shenanites! This week, we discuss shady economies, demon jam, and simulated robot armies. Plus, a peek into the exposure bucks ecosystem! Prohibition never works, so if you can’t beat’em, join’em. At least right up to the line of dumb. It always comes back to that ol’ Jevons paradox. Questions answered (abbreviated): Beekie Boppaboop: How did the Levelhead baddies get their names? Ecomusk Giantpla: How did you go about gathering great people for play testing? To stay up to date

Hi, Shenanites! In this episode, we talk about the worst word, cocooning, and “just in time” refactoring. How do you eat spaghetti? Definitely not by lining each noodle up in a row. What are you trying to build, a raft? To sail the sea of red sauce? While navigating around meatballs? Hm. Now we’re hungry. Questions answered (abbreviated): Mimmabip Gourkee: Do you set limits on how long you can spend cleaning code? challosis: What fraction of the features you implement end up getting

Hey there, Shenanites! This week, we discuss sorting by bigness, fractal loose ends, and your 600 senses. Every moment of existence is split into infinity, so there’s always the chance that one of the versions of you can accurately measure volumes. I mean, how else would they have managed to fit forty-five miles of nerves in your body? Questions answered (abbreviated): Gabe: What was the biggest mistake you guys have made as a studio? What did you learn from it? Cpt. Jazz: Which of the

2020/01/15

How’s it going, Shenanites? In this episode, we talk about Sisyphian tasks, relationship FOMO, and reasonable metrics. When you’re trying to measure the truth and all you have are proxies, you have to ask yourself: what truth do you actually care about? Probably the one with the euphonium and the flaming coconuts. Note: Sam says ADD, but that term isn’t used any longer. The current terminology is ADHD. Questions answered (abbreviated): Mimmabip Gourkee: Seth talks about the WoW problem,

Salutations, Shenanites! This week, we discuss learning to love the slog, common blunders, and people ferreting. Mise en place your life to build up your habits. Dress for the day you want, not the day you have. As it turns out, everything is DevOps all the way down. Questions answered (abbreviated): Beekie Boppaboop: Have you met anybody in person that disliked Levelhead? Gabe: How did you guys make friends as adults outside of college?

Happy New Year, Shenanites! In this episode, we review one year and preview the next. We also talk about nostril chafe, Levelhead in numbers, and hedging our bets against the monkey’s paw. 20-Grindteen had us sharpening our knives, but what are we going to do in 2020?

Hiya, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss questing for strains, the impracticality spectrum, and blockchain nickels. What if your grammar lettuce is wilted? What if it’s dark upstairs? What if a squirrel gets stuck in your vacuum wall? Who knows. Our brains only like to pose the questions, not go the extra answer. SEGUE. You know what they say about long hands? Ya need long pens.

Hey, Shenanites! We’re back from vacation and delirious from jet lag, so this one is going to be weird! This week, we talk about Gall’s law, functional fixedness, and stress naps. We’re all living in a survivorship bias world. You can’t do more than you can do, so do the important things. Questions answered (abbreviated): Wigglyhonk Quickpie: Are there any other game developer podcasts out there like yours that you all listen to? Challosis: How is this podcast recorded and

Hi again, Shenanites! Welcome to part two of our question blitz! It’s blitzier this time. In this episode, we drink moonshine and talk about sexy vampires, pointy pointing pointers, and unicycling badly. You gotta put on your noise canceling headphones and develop practice discipline.

[Ep233] Full Circle Zygote

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2019/11/20

Hiya, Shenanites! This week, we discuss denominator blindness, the fresh eyes of youth, and the true marker of adulthood. Why descend into the void when you can rise up to meet it? Also, do you ever think about how we’re all just wet robots covered in leather? ...no? Just us? Questions answered (abbreviated): Flyhoppie Axerompa: If you had a billion dollars that could only be spent to solve the problem of discover-ability for ALL indie devs, how would you try to solve that

Ahoy, Shenanites! In this episode (which is actually 232, so... ya know), we discuss hot reloads, the meaning of meat, and A BIG NEWS ALERT.

Hey there, Shenanites! This week, we talk about wild outer worlds, the burger method of learning new skills, and whooshing mile markers. We also (re)learned that we should be very careful with floats, and clicker training works on everyone. Unrelated, how much does a detached human head weigh? Asking for a friend.

Hiya, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss ratcheting fidelity, doing activities, and mattering. Best case scenario, a screamy dreamy leads to a hearty starty and not a fuzzy buzzy. Also, some deep cuts about mentors and mentees, silver bullets, and the MOST important callout. Grab a mug, and listen! If you’ve got extra questions (or extra good questions), get’em in there!

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss flying off the rails, social pressure, and how the work flows. You have to be like water when picking up new tools or approaching new experiences, especially when you don’t know how to hold a pencil. Life-long learning is the highest leverage productivity thing.
