Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss infinite work, the age of curation, and the value of reviews. When you make things easier, do you actually just make things harder? No matter what you're doing, there will always be a better way. Just keep in mind, it’s not about the length of your to-do list, it’s about the quality. You've just been Jevons'd.*

Show Notes

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss infinite work, the age of curation, and the value of reviews. When you make things easier, do you actually just make things harder? No matter what you're doing, there will always be a better way. Just keep in mind, it’s not about the length of your to-do list, it’s about the quality. You've just been Jevons'd.*

*Quick correction: Jevons paradox is with an O, not an E. Whaddya know? We’re not dictionaries.

OMG, the SHENANICON is THIS WEEKEND! Scufflin’, relays, T-shirts, and MORE. (Maybe you need a replacement mug because yours broke.) In any event, come hang out! Saturday, September 28th -- tickets and more info at https://meet.bscotch.net!

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • Scalepelexis: If I were to 3D model and print one game asset from your IP, what would you guys like to see?
  • Gua: Do you believe there's a place for small games on Steam, or is it better to invest time into the development of a bigger game?
  • Flyhoppie Axerompa: Do you have any examples of a time you brute forced your way through a task using what you know is clearly the wrong tool set, but succeeded anyway?
