Coffee with Butterscotch: A Game Dev Comedy Podcast

After a 3-week hiatus, we come roaring back with a new teammate and a second-take episode (the first take will be lost forever to the void). Carol, our FIRST HIRE EVER, lays out her street cred while Sam tells stories about failing to trick a weight-guesser at Adventure Land.

The land of Butterscotch is quiet this week, aside from our attempts at waking up early. We turn to community questions and discuss the importance of playing games when you're developing them, and why none of us would ever become a youtube prankster.

Adam's throat is exploding this week so Sam and Seth tackle how to perform a blood sacrifice, why daily quests suck, and why it's hard to teach a pig to sing!

We get down to BUSINESS in this episode, digging into how last week's Crashlands patch went and what it means for the future of our studio.

We've been doing a lot of game-playing research in preparation for our next title. Of note were Warframe, which is amazing, and The Division, which is pretty good too. We also dig deep into the ethics of random drops and free-to-play, and what it means for a game to be an RPG.

Sorry for being such jerks and missing two podcasts in a row. Our reasons were pretty good though: first we had to shake the hand of Billy Dee Williams at GDC, and then everyone got the GDC plague (coincidence?). We make it up to you by diving deep in this episode, with discussions of what sequels are, whether YouTubers are hurting indie devs, and whether gender means anything in the Butterscotch Universe.

This week we unearthed Sam's dark poetry past, and how he failed to win over the hearts of every girl in the world. Then we turned our glaser-eyes toward such hard-hitting questions as, Why is it more important to be a multi-tool than just a regular tool? What's Flux Dabes' secret past? What happens when a game dies? Find out the answers to all these AND MORE in this week's COFFEE WITH BUTTERSCOTCH!
