Here’s a very interesting story about a nice-looking shmup from back in 2004, its development process, its impressively bad sales (32 copies!), and finally a link for a free download.
As is the case with many postmortems I’ve read, it’s a frank analysis of missteps and successes, and quite interesting to get into the heads of some talented developers. For instance, one should not create a hard core shoot-em-up and market it to casual gamers.
