Here's a great interview with myself, Matthew Doucette, co-creator of Duality ZF and Christopher Emirzian (aka udderdude), creator of XOP Black (a Windows PC freeware shmup):


Diametrically Opposed Indie Shmups Fight for Justice

 

Matthew Doucette of Xona and Christopher “udderdude” Emirzian take their devotion to a higher level and design their own shmups, hoping to shape and sustain the genre’s future. Their fanbase is growing and their attention to their craft has garnered them massive respect. The two have wildly different games in the spotlight: Xona’s Duality ZF and Chris’s XOP Black. We discover below that even in the various shmup sub-genres, successful developers can have strikingly similar goals and opinions.
