Coffee with Butterscotch: A Gamedev Comedy Podcast

[Ep456] Scaling Sorcery

In this episode, we discuss localization nuance, trend cycles, and launch horror. Game launches require more than technical preparation; it’s about expecting the unexpected in player behavior and demand. No matter how many simulations you run or scenarios you anticipate, the true test emerges at launch.

Helldivers 2 was a discovery for me. I don't hear about this game that often, although it turned out to be quite interesting. I guess it wouldn't have been as interesting if I hadn't used the helldivers 2 boost services on leprestore.com/helldivers-2/. It really is something that simplifies the gameplay and allows you to enjoy the gameplay without dwelling on the difficult parts.
