Coffee with Butterscotch: A Gamedev Comedy Podcast

[Ep369] Audience Capture

This week, we talk about meeting your adventure quota, experienced goods, and cinematic feels. When you’re making a sequel, there are a lot of expectations to manage. While you need the excitement, concern can absolutely kill, so there’s a delicate balance to strike. How do you make something that’s the same but completely different at the same time?

Questions answered (abbreviated):

  • 13:03 Billy Dreamshake: How might a studio cope with the expectations that come along with incessant hype? Why might a studio announce a game and go silent for a long time?
  • 26:36 Kevin: Will any of your titles reach trilogy status, or do you guys follow the Valve house rules of sequels?
  • 44:42 ICBusch: What is your favorite programming term that is quite offside?
