[Ep174] Live from Shenanicon 2018!

53 minutes

Hi there, Shenanities! We recorded this episode LIVE at Shenanicon 2018, so in addition to our buttery voices, you get to hear the scotchy whispers of some of your fellow Shenanites! We’ll talk about vampire flavors, nihilism pants, and why you sometimes just need a fat beat orchestra piece. If you take only one thing away from this episode, it should be this: if you come across a genie, just run in the other direction.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the first ever Shenanicon!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

Angrymuffin: If moonlight is actually sunlight reflecting off of the moon's surface, why doesn't it kill vampires?

Senolir: Given the recent shutdown of the Apple Affiliate program, do you think Indies should be doing anything different to get their initial press coverage? Would you say this struggle is any easier when launching to steam, or does that audience still expect too much more in terms of scope to be a good platform for an Indie studio’s first few offerings anyway?

Shout64: How did you get connected with Fat Bard? Did you intentionally chose a music studio from your area? Could you talk about the importance of music/sound effects in your games, and any interesting ways you implement them?

Will: How do you handle being business partners and family? I hear a lot that partnerships are a bad idea but you seem to do well. Do you have any tips?

Mr. Ward: Where do bots come from?

Philipbear93: If businesses were people, what would their lives look like? What would Butterscotch Shenanigans be like as a person?

The_Rumpus: You're greeted by a Gamedev genie, who grants you the ability to fire any code, art assets, and robots/web-tech the three of you could possibly desire.. for the next 10 minutes. QUICK! What game do you make?! GO!
