    Have you done a Butterscotch Shenanigans company picnic/laser tag/big "corporate" event? If so, what did you do and how did it go? If not, what WOULD you do if cost was not a concern?

    With Levelhead's Marketing Department being in business for over half a decade now, what interesting insights do you have on how it works and is engaged with? What would Marketing Department 2.0 look like?

    Your podcast community is a dedicated bunch of folks!

    Can you give us a challenge that would be fun AND help the studio? Maybe something like 'tell 5 friends about the podcast' only more fun...

  • OliveComet @37zh0x asked

    Will Levelhead ever get an update? If so will it be small bug fixes or new elements in the level editor?

  • HaoteeHatooie @k8kln3 asked

    Do you trademark your game names? After figuring out a name for my game and checking that there was no one currently using it, I registered the website with a couple of domain endings and forgot about it. A year later there are ten distinct search results. At least 8 songs by different artists, an ebook and a tattoo. I’m guessing many or most of these are AI slop. None of them are games, so legally I should be fine, but I’m not sure if and how I should react to this.

    You name generator has made some fun-to-say names (pause to explain what that is for the new listeners). What are your favorites? Have you made any for yourselves that you did use or still do? Related but separate!! What are some nicknames you've had?

  • Jumpylumpa Leapylow @smvoew asked

    GREETINGS to Bscotch Bros and crew! Question for the podcast/YouTube wranglers. It's been asked before but I'm curious if this has changed: How do you come up with the intro blurb? What kinds of edits are most commonly needed for the podcast? How has the setup changed since moving to video? Did video kill the radio star? What snacks do you use to keep the brothers on camera and not getting distracted? Thanks for all you do! It sounds/looks amazing!!

  • ButterMilkLoveNugget @qd32kj asked

    What do you think of King Terry and his programming skills like him manually coding his animations and do you think any of his work is applicable today in some sense?

  • MiphopPangkram @hhp07m asked

    Hello friends! I am a player who plays Crashlands I have made good progress and I have been in the world of Bawg for a while. I want to save the game and create an account. I created an account with gmail on the official website of Butter Scotch Shenanigans, but now I don't know how to save the game to my account. Can you help me? By the way, I live in Iran.

    Creative Year Theme Vote - I like 202Quick especially with you're goal for a faster development cycle. Plus it will help Seth with the podcast intro XD

  • challosis @fuwqnd asked

    Did you take inspiration from "zero player games" like MIKAN or Earklacks on YouTube, "games" that only exist as videos?
