Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

We're now at capacity, having finished DUPLICATING our studio size this very week! In this episode we talk a bit about Pokemon Go, on the off chance you've never heard of it.

Oh hey, Sam still doesn't have cancer AND America celebrated its "FREEDOM"! AMAZING! But what is freedom, really?

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).

The land of Butterscotch is quiet this week, aside from our attempts at waking up early.

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...

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 BUTTERSCOTC...

We're getting ready for GDC, and contemplating what comes next for our baby studio. We also ask the questions: why does everyone think they need to be making games in San Franciso?

So we launched Crashlands. And now we're super tired. We give a big shout-out to all those who made this thing a success, then dig into our thoughts on the launch.
