Warning: The following text is taken from the Itch.IO page. I don't think I can do a better job than its author when presenting this utility used to create text adventure games for the Amstrad CPC.

GRIMM is a retro game creation utility to produce text adventure games in the spirit of the Amstrad CPC.

It combines three essential elements:

• an adventure engine
• a dedicated editor
• a simple, structured, and readable scripting language

GRIMM is for authors, creators, and retro-computing enthusiasts who want to design parsable adventure games, interactive fiction, and old-school exploration experiences without having to build a complete engine from scratch.

The principle is simple: you write your game's content, organize your locations, objects, and rules, and then generate a final playable version.

With GRIMM, you can :

• create locations, objects, and interactions
• define exits, hidden passages, and conditions
• write an introduction, an ending, and death sequences
• manage Object properties and simple game logic
• Set up a score and usage counters
• Associate images with the introduction, ending, death, or locations
• Export your project as a final playable build

GRIMM is not a modern drag-and-drop game maker. This is a focused authoring tool, built around:

• clarity
• structured writing
• deliberately retro constraints
• an old-school philosophy

It will be particularly suited to those who enjoy :

• the Amstrad CPC aesthetic
• parser games
• text adventures from the 80s and 90s
• dungeon crawlers and exploration
• compact and readable game logic

This project includes :

• the GRIMM editor
• the scripting workflow for GRIMM V1
• export/build tools
• documentation
• files example

This publication corresponds to GRIMM V1, the first stable, production-oriented version. It is in French. The next version will allow the use of English.

Christ Perver is currently working on an Amstrad CPC+/GX4000 port of the Q*Bert arcade game released in 1982 by Gottlieb. He wants the Amstrad CPC+ version to be as close to the original as possible. It is available as a cartridge version (joystick support for GX4000), but also on floppy disk (and tape later). I encourage you to visit Chris Perver's website and read his PDF explaining the game's development.

• Increased Damage from Monsters

Machu Picchu Battle par Ezzon est un jeu d'action et d'aventure Amstrad CPC disponible sur Itch.IO.

The Inca Empire is on the brink of collapse under the advance of Pizarro and his men. In a desperate attempt to preserve his power, Atahualpa orders a sacred sacrifice: the life of Pizarro’s baby, whose blood, offered to Pachamama, will invoke her protection. The baby remains imprisoned high in the Andean mountains, and Pizarro faces a crucial mission — to rescue him before the sacrifice takes place.

To access the Mountain of Sacrifice, you will need to obtain the Sacred Leaf, which will allow you to climb to great heights. The shaman will give it to you in exchange for 16 gold coins. One of these coins is kept in a fortress, and the key to enter it is held by one of the Incas you will encounter along your journey.
