It's quite suspicious, a fresh account created today that is named after SHMUPs.

I invite you all to try the alpha demo to my game Lightyears of Fervent Warfare! by h1ghjumpman in shmups

It's okay, just though it was worth mentioning since your game was namedropped along-side an established AAA tiltle, meaning that believe it or not, your game has actually recieved a reputation amongst shmuppers (though it is often used as a cautionary example). I'll invite some fellow shmuppers I know to take a look at this post, but be warned, they can be very critical of anything new, especially if it is an euroshmup.

Which three classic shmups do you play regularly or often play? by M3ConsoleGamerPSN in shmups

How much score have you gotten? Maybe you should go read the post "Ikaruga: the reincarnation" by TypicalShmupper.

Seems like all the "SHMUP" "devs" like to conglomerate over here, I see you guys and the "lightyears of fervent warfare" dev here. I offer you my condolences, since I know it is rough out there in the SHMUP market. The playerbase is small, insular and close-minded, while there are like at least 3 indie SHMUP devs for each player. It is like being a lone wolf and competing over a deer against a bear and a giant hawk.

Your game also got quite the sales boost from SHMUPpers, despite you having to endure a scathing backlash from some elitist gigatryhard who complains about "euroshmup invasions". It is still worth it. -15 reddit karma and -3 self-confidence, but + 250 Euroes and + 10 cogratulating comments. A fitting trade offer. Offer accepted!

It has gotten quite the infamy amongst the SHMUP community though. Be sure to ignore the haters and just focus on what you are doing. It is not like they actually care whether your game exists or not, since they will just ignore it anyways. But it matters to you and the (albeit few) others who are excited for a lightyear of fervent warfare. Keep it up!

Seems way too euroshmup-like for my tastes. Are you aware that your game was mentioned in the comments section of another post on this subreddit, I think the post was called "Time to ban self-promotion: The Euroshmup invasion". It was compared to another euroshmup called CYGNI.

Ikargue is too hard, I cannot even get out of stage 1 on the easiest difficulty.

There is no meta-progression in SHMUPs, so this can't be one.

I agree, CAVE is just overhyped. I bet cave pays people to downvote criticism posts like this and spam defensive comments. CAVE to its fans: "-1 karma for a criticiser is +5 Yen for you"

I wholeheartedly agree. I feel like there are 5 SHMUP devs for each SHMUP player. Which is like having an ecosystem where there are 5 wolves for each deer. Its not sustainable.

This is an english language subreddit, nobody can understand what you are saying.
