Changes
== Origins ==
Started by a teacher from the Alicante University who happened to be part of the Amstrad Spanish retro-scene. He found that having modern studens students to study and try to code with a ona machine from 1984 (with very limited RAM and CPU ressources) is an a challenging and excellent exercise to prepare them for a proper course in computers.
Sponsored/hosted by Alicante University, its first aim was to have student to try their hands on some antique coding machine : the Amstrad CPC and tryign to get a project into realease state, as those students are expected to work in video game industry after graduation.
This contest rewards the best and most creative developers in the retro scene, capable of making the best video games for Amstrad CPC 464. Some A Ceremony is organized, with livestream broadcast and many guests figures from the current or historical Video game industry and scene personnalities.
While originally opened to student from the university, it went on to be a more open contest, with veteran sceners as well as past students and contestant contestants trying to progress or win some of the prizes.
Each year, a huge batch of productions (of various quality standards) are realeases thanks to CPCRetroDev. The top 10 usually display proper quality on par with historically commercially release games .
