Crabs aside, my car got hit with a stone on the highway, severely cracking the windshield, so now I'm stuck in a village in the middle of nowhere without a vehicle to go around, lol. More problems, to solve, yay!

Some time ago, I wondered - what if I take MMO raid experience and turn it into a tactical dungeon crawler, with all the boss tactics, coordination-required mechanics and inevitable drama over dropped loot? So I made it real, and you can play it now on Steam!

My evening looks like this, and I find it funny in the context of me working for a truck simulation company by day

My wife made me an amazing wizard cape for a fantasy ball. The ball got cancelled, unfortunately, but this is a legitimate piece of clothing I'm wearing from now on

Crabs have Aspirations now - a new type of upgrade that determines crab's character. Each Aspiration provides a passive buff, a way to quell the Ambition growth and a unique way of crashing out when Ambition (inevitably) overflows

When your healer gets distracted by picking up loot, misses a heal and tells you to be careful when you're knocked out ☠️ Now that's the kind of MMO raiding experience I wanted to recreate! 🦀

For a proper MMO raid parody there needs to be chaos - Crabs can't just stand their obediently and wait for commands. So they have Ambition now - a bar that is filled with every useful action until the crab crashes out! #indiegame #wishlistwednesday

Crabs' abilities are much more important than passive buff trinkets, so there's now a way to get them more predictably - a new encounter reward that gives a choice of 3. They could still be dropped as random treasure bag finds, but much more rarely.

The old survivors-like upgrade system made the game look derivative and unoriginal, plus level-ups added too much stats and stole player agency. So I removed it - instead of levelling up, crabs "find" items, and you decide how to distribute them. Power to the players!

Stefan Sadchikov 🦀Crab Raid Tactics🛡️ on Steam @servelat.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Crab Raid Tactics is heavily inspired by MMO raiding experience. And what is a raid without epic loot and tough decisions about who gets it? So, I'm replacing old "survivors-like" upgrade system with the one where you can choose, who gets what

Stefan Sadchikov 🦀Crab Raid Tactics🛡️ on Steam @servelat.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
So, I'm releasing what seems like the biggest update to the Crab Raid Tactics demo yet! It has new epic loot, and reward rarity, and a much better balance, and a treasure bag, and cool new mechanics and... wait, where did they go?

That being said - people who don't understand what they manage and don't listen to experts should not be managers. They are not pulling their weight

You know things are fucked up in the industry when a top5 advice for senior devs is "hide shit from you managers" (number 5 in the video) Not saying he's wrong, though - it's definitely something you need to keep in mind

This is still crazy to me how close this fungus event is to what I'm doing with Crab Raid Tactics. It even has that "Move Everyone" button everyone requested 😁 Guess I'm stealing that! Anybody here playing Genshin? What are your thoughts on this kind of gameplay?
