Shawn Sijnstra (and Stefan Vogt) are working on VEZZA his Infocom/Inform/Z-machine interpreter for Amstrad CPC and PCW (and other computers) to play adventure games without needing a memory expansion (Inform format v1 to v8), under CP/M and not Amsdos. The program you need to dowload is different if you are using an Amstrad CPC (vezza-nb.com) or a PCW (vezza-90.com).

For the 4th PunyJam contest PunyJam he wrote with the PunyInform library a text adventure game : Redux (December 2023). The game is an exploration into the mind of the protagonist, and has a highly unusual gameplay.

Benediction, Dentifrice and Arkos have released a new Amstrad CPC demo : J'AI PÉ-TÉLÉCRAN (local download) during the Revision 2024 demo party. The code is written by Krusty, graphics by Exocet, music by Targhan.

But the most astonishing fact of this demo is that it is capable to use a 4k definition on an original Amstrad CPC mionitor due to an unknown use of the Gate Array and CRTC. As you can expect, everybody at the Revision 2024 had their eyes who were popping out of their orbits. Sadly no actual Amstrad CPC monitor is able to show such a new feature, you will have to wait a bit for that and must at the moment see this demo on an real Amstrad CPC to enjoy it at fullest. It's no surprise that the name of the ZIP is GPTLECRAN (translated it means I broke the screen) as before discovering this ground breaking feature, no less than three Amstrad CPC monitors were definitively broken. But the result is worth this loss.

Border 0 organizes his eleventh score contest on the game Goathfish (action game par Ervin PAJOR for CPCRetroDev 2020) till the 30th April 2024. See the site for the rules, you will have to use the WinAPE Amstrad CPC emulator to record a SNR file.

Pulpo Corrosivo and Futurs have released a new Amstrad CPC demo : Ghost NOP (local download) during the Revision 2024 demo party. The code is written by Toms and Offset, graphics by Rexbeng/PA and Hwikaa, music by Zik.

ugBASIC by Marco Spedaletti is a compiled basic which works on many computers including the Amstrad CPC(+). In fact this compiler write the code so a program works whatever the features of the targeted computer, a feature which doesnt exist in hardware will be managed by software. For ugBASIC's github it's here, an official Facebook group of ugBASIC and even an ugBASIC forum.

There is also an IDE for ugBASIC still by Marco Spedaletti available on Itch.IO.

A suggestion by Youtube and I stumbled on Colin Thomson's channel where you can see two gorgeous Amstrad CPC screens being drawn :

• Amstrad Drawing (Bob Ross style, american artist), see below
• Drawing a Parrot (Amstrad 8bit Pixel Drawing)

DarkSteph has programmed with Unity for windows, macos and linux a remake of airwolf : Airwolf 2024, code by DarkSteph and graphics by Vynz Retro. A demo of the game is available as today.

The Amstrad PCW emulator Joyce v2.5.3 by John Elliott is available for unix, windows and MacOS. This emulates another proprietary communications interface : the PCW Linkit which links two PCW (click on the link PCW hardware information) whereas the LocoLink did link a PCW to another computer with its parallel port (PC, PcW16 or a PCW 9512 with a third-party software). The Linux build also has another feature : you can now use JOYCE as a terminal to your system's command line, so you can use MAIL232 (or other PCW terminal program of your choice) in the same way that you would an xterm.
