2019/12/04

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.

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.

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2019/11/06

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. Questions answered (abbreviated): 0xD0DECAD0: Do you think that spending approximately 18 person-weeks on podcasting has been worth it? How does one measure the effects of a

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.

Hi again, Shenanites! This week, we talk about wheat and molasses, shock wires, and wibble wobbling. If a train of thought derails, maybe you just gotta let it simmer for a while. Potential energy will get you every time, but luckily, action is the antidote. Correction: It was Majora’s Mask. We know, we know.

Hey there, Shenanites! Your fellow Bscotcheroonies asked, and we answered LIVE at Shenanicon 2019!

[Ep224] The Goat Square-Up

Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch ·

2019/09/25

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss infinite work, the age of curation, and the value of reviews. When you make things easier, do you actually just make things harder? No matter what you're doing, there will always be a better way. Just keep in mind, it’s not about the length of your to-do list, it’s about the quality. You've just been Jevons'd.* *Quick correction: Jevons paradox is with an O, not an E. Whaddya know? We’re not dictionaries. OMG, the SHENANICON is THIS WEEKEND

Greetings, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss giant piles of yogurt, wiggle room, and the difficulty of fonts. What you think is going to be the problem is never the actual problem. And there’s always more stuff to consider than you initially predicted. It’s all about those pipelines! SHENANICON is only two-ish weeks away! Come see us in real life in St. Louis on September 28th--ask questions at a live podcast, compete in a co-op Levelhead competition, and witness the unveiling of the

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss procrastination blackholes, visibility mechanisms, and simultaneous invention. Pessimism isn’t a good life strategy, which doesn’t mean optimism is either. Though it is better. The moral of the story is this: Don’t pick up a trike egg unless you want your thatched cube destroyed. The Shenanicon is getting ever closer. Come hang out with us on September 28th in St. Louis!
