Hey, thanks for the invite!! I was pondering joining this group the other day but forgot about it.

I have a couple shmup projects going on myself, one which I just started a few days ago. Now I have a place to post my concept art and stuff :D

Yes please do post stuff and let us know what you are working on. The group looks really quiet, but I think a lot of eyes check on it each day.

Ok I joined, I don't have another damn option.
Because as always they choose others for their poor and mediocre jobs because they like to show off their crap that anyway will be doomed to oblivion, but listen to me very well, you'll have to tell me how make a game ?, which programs are used ?, if you try 2D or 3 D you would have to say absolutely everything and every time I submit something, comment anything but if you insult my creations or just want to bother me with negative comments, I will block you all permanently.
