Audax - Hear Creators

Seth Coster is one of three brothers who decided to form Butterscotch Shenanigans, an independent gaming studio that makes iOS and PC games with a lot of personality and humor. Their flagship title Crashlands launched last year on the App Store and Steam to tons of critical acclaim.
