On the #GameMakersNotebook Podcast, @trentkusters.bsky.social chats with brothers Seth and @adamcoster.com of @bscotch.net about their recent release CRASHLANDS 2, how their brother Sam's cancer diagnosis led to the original CRASHLANDS, how they solved a common indie marketing problem, and more! 🎙️👇

Crashlands 2 is out and I had the honor of voicing Flux, the player character!💜💛🚀 Thanks so much for having me and for the super fun recording sessions @bscotch.net & @fatbard.bsky.social!🙏

Crashlands 2 is out today! 🎉 Congrats to the Butterscotch Shenanigans team on the launch and thanks for having me on board to make this key art for the triumphant sequel! ⤵️ Check below if you want to see some detail crops! #crashlands2 #keyart #illustration

A massive congrats goes out to @bscotch.net, @adamcoster.com, and everyone else who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into #Crashlands2. It was worth the wait, and the game shines for it. Fantastic stuff that you need to check out as soon as possible: shorturl.at/OIpKV

buhhhh some sus follows just showed up in my account, then like and reposted *their* posts (onlyfans?! wat). I guess this is a good reminder to everyone to enable 2FA (which I now have -_-). quite the way to return to bsky after forgetting about it for a few weeks 🫠

Nearly 5 years of work make this the biggest, zaniest thing I've ever done, and now it's got a launch date! FEELS WEIRD BUT ALSO GOOD. #crashlands2

We've worked with the bards for nearly ALL those 10 years and they've been excellent. If your game needs SOUND AND JAMS (and it certainly does) give them a look!

A little glimpse of what we've been cooking up for Crashlands 2!

My #gamedesign hill-to-die-on is that Mana is the wooooooorst way to manage rate-of-action for players. YAY? NAY? hang on gotta sit here doing nothing interesting for 15 seconds while my mana recharges

Follow @anneballaranart.bsky.social! I've been working with her for a year on Crashlands 2 and she's unbelievably talented.

My conclusion after a discussion at work

Took me 8 weeks to make my first animatic - which I drew in #CSP and assembled in... #Spine2d?! (There were REASONS 😐) Best part was, being a Spine animation, it caused a RAM spike that bricked the game on phones. I ended up having to record it as an MP4 instead. youtu.be/ztL-q9LNizc?...

@sidralgames.bsky.social thanks for making the gamemaker starter pack! Could I be added to the lot? Made Crashlands, Levelhead, and currently working on Crashlands 2, all in gamemaker!

@myles.redplanetgames.co wild to see another siblings-founded studio! My brothers and I started Butterscotch Shenanigans about 12 years ago. How long y'all been at it?

Take it easy, but TAKE it

One of my fave things is adding little ecological interactions to the creatures I make. They don't *do* anything mechanically, but players always imagine they do and assign agency. "Oh watch out - that Sluggabun is smelling you!" #gamedev #gameart #spine2d #indiegames

A little personal piece #illustration #art #dogs

A #gamedev and #gameart intro seems to be in order! I founded an indie studio with my brothers @adamcoster.com and Seth, made Crashlands, Levelhead, Quadropus Rampage, and Flop Rocket, and am now working on Crashlands 2. Plus I've given a few GDC talks over the years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQHt...
