from Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch · host Butterscotch Shenanigans
In episode 575 of 'Coffee with Butterscotch,' the brothers are 60 days from launching How Many Dudes and find themselves juggling the final stretch of dev alongside the tedious reality of cloud saving, achievements, and store integrations. They dig into why every platform manages to turn straightforward tasks into elaborate obstacle courses, and what that actually costs developers in time and sanity when the deadline is creeping closer.Support How Many Dudes!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/how-many-dudesTrailer Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgQM1SceEpISteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3934270/How_Many_Dudes00:00 Cold Open00:29 Introduction and Welcome03:08 Navigating Cloud Saving Solutions09:02 User Authentication and Data Management12:15 The Frustrations of Platform Requirements15:17 Rumpus: A Custom Solution for Cloud Saving18:03 The Impact of Privacy Regulations on Development28:55 The Challenge of User Data Management32:20 The Importance of Achievements in Gaming36:22 Navigating the Complexities of Achievement Systems42:10 The Manual Labor of Achievement Setup49:12 Frustrations with Platform Limitations01:00:19 The Challenges of Google Play Achievements01:05:11 Developer Time Wasted by Big TechTo stay up to date with all of our buttery goodness subscribe to the podcast on Apple podcasts (apple.co/1LxNEnk) or wherever you get your audio goodness.
