I am late writing this, but CheapeeSoft Games has released its windows (32/64) remake of Fernando Martin Basket Master : Retro Basket Master.

A few days ago Amstrad CPC World did post a video about an Amstrad CPC game in 3D isometric : Sepulcri, which I didnt know. Then I found on his channel a compilation of many 3D isometric games for Amstrad CPC (January 2019), a lot of them that I never knew !

P.S. : graphics in Sepulcri are done by Jill Lawson, use the link to the what she did, it's beautiful.

Michael Wessel has released for the CPCRetroDev 2021 contest a game in basic 1.0 : The Wrath of the MCPC.

He just released a new version with joystick support and compatible with LambdaSpeak vocal synthesis which you get with his sound cards : LambdaSpeak 1.95, LambdaSpeak III and LambdaSpeak FutureSoft Edition (LS-FS). You can see a video of the vocal synthesis on Youtube.

A Hundred more issues of AA50 by DarkSteph are being shipped, and a little bit before christmas you will be able to put a USB key with a free PDF of Amstrad Action 50 in front of your Xmas tree. The quality of impression of the paper issue is great, I have mine at least.

Reidrac (Juan Martinez) is actually working on two projects : a RPG (Ultima like) and Hyperdrive which is a shoot them up, which reminds me of of the excellent Light Force.

You can check Reidrac's Twitter for more informations too.

I invite you to list the last posts of Reidrac's blog about several subjects including to create the games with cartridges in mind, thanks to the Plus2CPC, upcoming Play2CPC, DES and Dandanator.

After the Plus2CPC by Abalore (see on CPCWiki), here is the Play2CPC which is a mix between the Plus2CPC by Abalore (adding a cartridge for all CPC even CPC+ on expansion port) and the PlayCity. The Play2CPC adds three AY channels and one noise generator (6 channels and 2 noise generators for the PlayCity) and the possibility to modify the content of the pseudo cartridge. For more informations, I invite you to read CPCWiki (link above).

For Halloween Markus Hohmann (DevilMarkus) has released an Amstrad CPC demo : Halloween 2021 4mb Sample, first they are some noises then the music starts later around 2 minutes 40 seconds.

To create the sample here is his method : I'm using a volume table I calculated for the logarithmic conversion 256 volumes down to 16. I also use nibbles for stereo playback (1 byte contains stereo informations). The imported .mp3 is pre-gained to 100db and I use some filters on the imported sample.

The original source is a musical remake of the game Cauldron II by SoundLogic which you can find also on Youtube.
