ugBASIC by Marco Spedaletti is a compiled basic which works on many computers including the Amstrad CPC(+). In fact this compiler write the code so a program works whatever the features of the targeted computer, a feature which doesnt exist in hardware will be managed by software. For ugBASIC's github it's here, an official Facebook group of ugBASIC and even an ugBASIC forum.
There is also an IDE for ugBASIC v1.17 still by Marco Spedaletti available on Itch.IO for Windows.
Marco wrote in 2024 a Sokoban game : Soko64+, of course in ugBASIC.
He just wrote PUSHORI64+, a new game inspired by Pushori which was a popular puzzle and skill video game originally developed by Toni Pa (or Tony Pa) in the Flash era. It's based on a rather simple concept, but it requires planning and logic to master. The game involves "clearing" a playing area of blocks that have the same symbol.
Ayane by Madram is an Amstrad CPC utility to read musical files. It's not a final version, but a WIP version to let you know the features of Ayane that you can donwload on Pouet, and also listen to with a Youtube video of Ayane.

Z88dk is a development toolkit whose target are notably the Z80 (but not only) which permits to program in C and/or assembler for Amstrad CPC, Notepad NC100/150/200 and PCW (and many more computers) on PC and MacOS.
The last version of Z88dk was released the 2th October 2025 on Github.
The last version of 8BP (v043, a programmation framework) is presented by his author on his web site. This version is available since yesterday.
The documentation of 8BP is now available in five languages.
And if you want to program with 8BP under windows, then why not take a look at IDE8BP written by Toni Longo and released at the end of May 2024. You will find a présentation of IDE8BP's features on AUA.
PhrozenC v1.0 is a K&R C compiler (Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan, it's not ANSI C) for Amstrad CPC and PC by NoRecess. On PC it compiles a .C file in .ASM ready to compile with WinAPE. On CPC the .ASM file can be compiled with Maxam.
The source code of PhrozenC is available on Bitbucket.
For Amstrad CPC it exists a ROM version (prefer this version), a 64 Kb version (stand-alone application) and 128 Ko version (RSX).
PhrozenC is released with a PDF manual covering all the things you have to know about to start programming using PhrozenC.
There is even a small tutorial about learning C for the newcomers. Example sources are available, as also a small set of library files handling file management, graphics, memory management, string concatenation, etc...
