Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch episodes

  • [Ep297] A Believable Lie

    Hello, Shenanites! This week, we talk about less random randomness, floors and ceilings, and proper beverage production. Plans aren’t plans so much as they’re educated guesses. Adherence runs counter to adaptation, and it’s important to know when and where to switch modes. What we’re saying is, get those pillars!

    Questions answered (abbreviated):

    • Flyhoppie Axerompa: Seth, could you please stream while you make a game for Ludum Dare?
    • Beekie Boppaboop: Is there a chance we could get some new segments on the show?

    • [Ep296] The Short Squeeze

      Hey there, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss the glockenspiel of the financial trade, robot price wars, and the golden rule of financial investments. Our human brains are wired to chase novelty, but boring stability is the real end game. That’s why you need to create your own chaos. Say, by making a game in a weekend using skills you don’t have. It’s 2021 -- let’s go dunk poorly!

      Questions answered (abbreviated):

      • Fraser_: Where has 2020 left the enslickening process? What does your setup look like, and do you have any ideas for what your next step on this journey will be?
      • challosis: What is your single favorite part about working on games?

      • [Ep295] The Buttermasters of Buttervania

        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 evolution in game conferences?
        • one dead saint: You're king for the day. What do you do?

        • [Ep294] Tamagotchi Space Exploration

          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

            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 would people do with their time?
            • Butterscotch Atheist: What’s your relationship with advertising?

            • [Ep292] Orbital Strike Dunk

              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 your head, what is drawing like?
              • Jimdangle Uzahoo: How long do you think a game should take to make, especially if it's the very first project?

              • [Ep291] Finite Checkpoints

                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 was implemented?

                • [Ep290] A Firehose of Data

                  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?

                  • [Ep289] Fruit Stickers

                    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 trades, master of none" when it comes to making games, but EVERYONE says it is a bad strategy. Who is wrong, me or everyone?
                    • TimConceivable: What are some methods you have found helpful to tackle the tasks you dread?

                    • [Ep288] Liquid Bug Phase

                      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 barefoot?
                      • Huhonka Zonkdonk: Do you feel that it would be prudent to declare a 2021 name that has only positive connotations?
                      • QuantumAnomaly: With as many tools as you have, do you have your own internal documentation for each of them?
