#CPCRetroDev 2017 - Amstrad CPC Game Creation Contest new for 2017!

This year so far has been very good for the Amstrad CPC, as we've seen a number of games that are either in development or have been announced as lost and found. Especially when it comes to games we've spoken about as Acolyte, Captain Fizz, Frogger(Deanysoft), Ninja Grannies and even Unpredictaball. But the Amstrad is about to get another boost in the homebrew department, as this week the #CPCRetroDev 2017 - Amstrad CPC Game Creation Contest has been announced. As in their words "the 5th edition of the retro game creation contest of the University of Alicante. This contest awards the best and most creative developers of the retro scene, able to develop the best games for Amstrad CPC 464".
