Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

This week, we talk about conflicts of interest, typing speed, and a living hell. Doing new things is good and cool! But it’s important to understand that the context you’re coming from and the one you’re going into are different. Some things can transfer, but assuming expertise in one field just because you’re an expert in another can be costly. That cost is mostly paid in failure. The question is, who’s paying for it?

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • 24:25 challosis: Have y'all ever tried alternative keyboard layouts such as Dvorak? Or used the Charachorder again?
