GODGAME - An in-dev Populous inspiration for the Amstrad CPC 6128!

A promising new god game is currently in development for the classic Amstrad CPC 6128 or a CPC with 128k of ram, drawing heavy inspiration from the legendary strategy title Populous. Titled as 'GODGAME', this in-development project by SoftDevil casts players in the role of a benevolent deity, easily identified by the bearded, crowned king avatar positioned in the top-left corner of the screen. The gameplay revolves around divine management and expansion, tasking you with guiding your loyal people as they settle flat lands and build up thriving residential villages.

Skyshift - This Arcade inspired Amstrad Shooter by TITAN looks well worth playing!

A rather fabulous arcade-inspired shooter has been released for the Amstrad CPC by Titan. Titled as 'Skyshift', the project draws heavy inspiration from classic vertical shooters like 1943. To maximize programming efficiency and ensure crisp readability on the Amstrad CPC, Titan has said that they have opted for a specialized 128x256 pixel gameplay window running in the Amstrad's distinct Mode 0. The game introduces players to a World War I Allied flying ace who, while dogfighting over the front lines in the spring of 1918, is suddenly swallowed by a bizarre, luminous cloud. He emerges into a radically changed sky, facing hyper-advanced, propellerless enemy aircraft that far outclass his fragile biplane.
