Thanks to Youtube which showed me a video of Chloe aprende a Reciclar by Francisco José Poyato Falero (Churrosoft), which did lead to his other platform game : Rigor Mortis, which I had both missed at their release (about 2 months ago, seing the download date).

Retro Maniac has done an interview of Patrick HINRICHS (The Fraggle) at the end of August 2023. It's in spanish, but there is an english traduction at the middle of the page.

The Return of Traxtor is a reflexion game by Reidrac (Juan Jose MARTINEZ) first released on Amstrad CPC (v1.1 de 2016) and now for msdos and CGA, so you can run it on any Amstrad PC.

Ci-dessous une vidéo de Return of Traxtor par Saberman.

Narciso Quintana has made several musical remake of 8bit games, including Commando.

Frédéric MANTEGAZZA and Laurent DIEUDONNE (his cousin) are the authors of an Amstrad CPC game edited by Lankhor : Fugitif. Drawing are by Jean-Paul RENAULT (read the description on CPC-POWER about the drawing, it's interesting), music by Laurent MOLLARD and box cover by Stéphane POLLARD.

It was made in mode 1 using rasters to show more than 4 colors. Frédéric has lost the original source code, so he disassembled the program and commented it (download available).

For more details, read the AMSnews article on the game.

A solution of Fugitif is available if you are blocked somewhere. And you can also check the video by Amstrad Maniaque below.

Frédéric is working on a new release of Fugitif, to address the main issue of the original game: at the time, he was unable to do anything else during the raster display. The new release will use demomakers tricks to display a hud below the image. This hud will non longer be icons-based, but rather a console, whith a syntax interpreter, as in many adventure games in this era (and something he originaly wanted to do). The game will be translated in other languages.
