Jonathan Cauldwell released a new version of the Arcade Game Designer (AGD) for the Amstrad CPC. With the AGD you can design your own arcade games. It features an own simplistic language, a sprite editor, a screen editor, etc. It is also possible to port games between the different platforms. The games “Lab Escape” and “Jigsaw Rescue” were built with the AGD.

You can get more information and find the latest version in the CPCWiki forums.

Changes:

fixed sprite corruption at right edge of screen
return to BASIC at end of game
check for objects at next sprite position, not last position
sprites can now be spawned safely in main loop events
joystick 0/1 now selectable

EgoTrip released a new game called Lab Escape. It is a mini adventure, in which you have to escape an labor which exploded and have to avoid several enemies and collect money. It feature colourful graphics and nice music, so be sure to download it from the CPCWiki forums or at the end of the news.

From the technical point of view, this game is the first game, which was created with the AGD – the Arcade Game Creator – which can be used to create games for the CPC (and also for the Spectrum).

It features an own simplistic language, a sprite editor, a screen editor, etc. It will also be possible to port games between the different platforms, so porting back Spectrum games to the CPC Zwinkerndes Smiley ? If you want to get more information about the AGD then have a look at the AGD forums.
