" … A Game Development Kit for **Amstrad CPC+ and GX4000**

I just posted a short intro video of **R‑GX GDK** , my Game Development Kit built for the CPC+ and GX4000.  
This first video gives a fast overview of the kit, the idea behind it, and what I’m building.

The goal is simple: a modern and reusable framework for CPC+ game development, using the hardware features of the machine, and flexible enough to create different types of games.

This is only the intro.  
More detailed videos are coming soon … "

This is huge. Really impressive work.  
R-GX GDK could open the door to a lot of new GX4000 projects and adaptations.  
The Rayman demo already looks and sounds fantastic. Definitely one to follow very closely.

The plus features are so circumstantial, particularly sprite updates, I am intrigued just how flexible you can make this. Rayman looking good 😎
