I encourge the min-maxers! I see them as useful antagonists for the design I was keeping it obscured before mostly to keep some sense of mystery about what the city might deal you, but I found myself explaining 'how it works' too much in discussions. Better to jump straight to the point I think.

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

After enough questions from players, I'm deciding to go full transparency on the game's deck mechanics Coming soon along with an updated 'rulebook' for the in-game manual At the very least this should help inform further discussions about the game's balance #gamedev #indiedev #rtfm

I'm still working out what the the rewards will be, but the stars are meant to have an impact on the capabilities of the runner rather than just for looks

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

the little card on the left IS the "runner on the map" so yes :) The game is almost like a card game

haha I was pleasantly surprised when my testing setup picked that one, it's the one mission that sounds the least like "cool mission stuff" 😅

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Working on runner tooltips and giving them gold stars today! ⭐ They've earned it 💪 I'm excited to share the "runner veterancy" update coming soooon #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Thanks! No, unfortunately no Steam page yet but it's in the works 🙏 hopefully in the next 1 or 2 months, I'll be sharing it like crazy when it happens :)

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I feel you, making the stuff fit in the boxes really is half the struggle! Especially for info dense or UI-heavy projects like yours seems to be 😅 It looks cool! I've often thought about trying a simultaneous turns kind of thing. I love that feel

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Full-Metal Tapped v0.8.16 is up! 💪 I went down a deep re-design hole for a few days and ended up coming back to mostly the same game 😅 But I learned a lot along the way and overall made some key improvements I think. Check it out! reefpirate.itch.io/full-metal-t... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

#my9games as of today, in no particular order The Little Ninja Brothers spot took me the longest to decide, mostly it ended up on the list because I couldn't find "River City Ransom" for some reason 🤔

I'm looking for more eyes on my cyberpunk worker-placement game: reefpirate.itch.io/full-metal-t... Should be a new update posted in the next day or 2, but more player feedback is always great to have!

I'm working on the in-game 'game manual' a bit today. It drifts as the mechanics in the game drift and I like to keep it current Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I appreciate when a game doesn't just "teach itself" but has a place to learn in depth. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #rtfm

Some interesting facts from player telemetry over all time: - 807 runners hired vs. 200 dead - From 3609 rolls: 79.3% passed when the game says 77.7% should have - 4459 turns played - ~38% win rate for all finished runs Next patch: runners will die less often before turn 10 #gamedev #indiedev

After only vaguely hearing about Dominions' "Big Money", and then doing a deep dive on what it is, I think I found ailed me in my game's balance I now have a sim that plays my game called "Street Money" 😎 It's producing lots of juicy data that should lead to a Big Update #gamedev #bigmoney

Honestly I got kind of lucky in this case, because I didn't play with the audio mix at all. I remembered thinking I should do audio mixing at the end but then I released it 😅 I guess I was too busy rocking out to the song. I might turn the music down a bit if I did it again

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

New trailer for Full-Metal Tapped 🎬 The music and sounds come from weloveindies.com (Dynamedion + BOOM Library). As a solo dev with limited audio skills, I really appreciate the vibes they bring to the project 🎶 🕹️: reefpirate.itch.io/full-metal-t... #indiedev #gamedev #gameaudio

ahhh no sorry! false alarm (I hope), I was on a different Chrome profile or something and today I noticed it happened any time I tried to go to YouTube in the same today 😩 It's a me problem heh But thanks for the reply, that will remind me to go back and watch your video!

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

some from column A and some from column B :) I guess I am a bit self-conscious of how info-dense the game's surfaces have become, so I want to make sure it's coherent and predictable to avoid an over-cluttered feeling

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I'm loving the look of your stuff! Interesting use of colours 👍

Hey I was intrigued enough to check your website to figure out what this is, but FYI it seems like your video links are broken there?

A month ago vs today. Same game underneath, but completely different to look at. Really happy with how it ended up!

Before image of UI update, many many rounded rectangles. Words instead of colors and icons

After image of UI overhaul. Squared and clean edges, glyphs and colors instead of words in many places

Full-Metal Tapped v0.8.15 is out, and it's the biggest one yet! Every screen rebuilt. Cards glyph grammar. And turns finally hit: stats light up on the roll, verdicts stamp down, dead runners get wrecked. Free to play now 👇 reefpirate.itch.io/full-metal-t... #indiedev #indiegames #roguelite

And how the new logo fits into the Main Menu The idea started from linking 'Full-Metal Tapped' = 'FMT' = Force, Mobility and Tech (the 3 main stats for runners in the game). Force is red, Mobility is cyan and Tech is purple 😀 #GIMP #cyberpunk #gamedev

Reefpirate @reefpirate.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Took a short detour for graphic design today. I didn't plan to spend the whole day but what can you do? I finished a new logo for Reefpirate Games, and also for Full-Metal Tapped which is going to the Main Menu with the next build 🎨 #gamedev #graphicdesign #cyberpunk #indiegame
