Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

Hello, Shenanites! In this episode, we discuss procrastination blackholes, visibility mechanisms, and simultaneous invention. Pessimism isn’t a good life strategy, which doesn’t mean optimism is either. Though it is better. The moral of the story is this: Don’t pick up a trike egg unless you want your thatched cube destroyed.
