Shmup_Dev community.

Let me first say that this post is in NO way trying to detract from the great community I've come to appreciate here at DBF+GVY Demo Code.

Anyway,

Just wanted to mention that the good folk at Shmup-Dev have finished another competition. There are 21+ entries into the "shmup with options" compo. There are some noteworthy games to be tested and this would be a prime time to join me and other shmup enthusiasts.

some information to consider:

1. We have a wide range of coding talent. From industry practitioners to beginners. All working on preserving and innovating traditional 2d shmup game play elements.
2. I've tried to maintain a warm community with professional conduct.
3. This is one of the few last places where you can find vigorous discussion about an exciting and traditional genre.
4. I know that some here appreciate shmups and wish to explore this genre among friends.
5. Membership includes a free bathrobe and a sticker book. (heh maybe not)
6. Competitions have been the bread and butter of the site. There have been some very nice dev tools,games and money in the past.
7. Copyright laws will be upheld for games. Please ensure all art and other media is yours or work you have permission to use.

Just thought I'd put in a word and send you all an invite. Maybe you could try some of the new compo games in your spare time. I want this community to stay professional and respectful. Please consider this if you are interested. Thanks for your time, hope to see you there.
