Once we are done development, or perhaps even before, should we post about our game to non-development sections of "shmups forum"? I am assuming the developers section attracts a different audience.
I have done this myself and had some success. Many people do not venture into the development section thanks to amatures cobbeling together garbage that they never finish. Why not post on shmup_dev too with updates.
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.
