Amscraft - Minecraft style Amstrad CPC port update !

When we mentioned Lachlank's Minecraft style game being developed for the Amstrad CPC, it was so popular that it ended up on many other sites (without us as the source) and generally people were surprised what the 8-bit machine from the 80's could achieve. Called ' AmsCraft  ' and written mainly in C using SDCC/CPCTelera but with assembler to draw blocks, the developer has today released a second update footage which shows off the new title screen, initial music, scrolling between scenes and block placement.

Minecraft being ported to the Amstrad CPC? Welcome to AmsCraft!

This picture above may not look like much, but this is actually a very early preview shot of a Minecraft-style game for the Amstrad CPC that is being developed by lachlank. The current title of the game is being called 'AmsCraft' and will be written mainly in C using SDCC/CPCTelera but with assembler to draw blocks. So far the developer has noted that he is only drawing the screen and player sprite at present and is hoping for contributions from other programmers to make the music that sounds very similar to Minecraft, but in that 8bit style. Also to coincide with this news, the developer has released a very short video tease that goes to show how far the development has come.
