_Preview of the Audio Editor in Action_

[Gamercade] ([Discord][Gamercade-Discord], [Github][Gamercade-Github])
225+
by @RobDavenport is a WASM-powered fantasy console focused
226+
on building multiplayer neo-retro games.
227+
228+
Gamercade is preparing for their first alpha release! This includes all the
229+
core features needed for a fantasy console and game library: input, graphics,
230+
and audio. It also has networked multiplayer, and an editor.
231+
232+
They implemented the in-game sound engine from scratch. They also improved the
233+
editor to allow creation of instruments and tracks. It synthesizes sounds at
234+
runtime, and produces something like an 80s synth, a 90s SoundBlaster, and a
235+
touch of SNES. Songs and Sfx are built using a tracker interface.
236+
[This video][Gamercade-Video] shows a small sample of what it is capable of.
237+
238+
"Wavetables" are great for classic sounds like 8-bit chiptunes or even more
239+
complicated sounds. "FM Synth" is a 4-op FM synthesizer. Masters of this
240+
technique can produce a huge variety of instruments, effects, and other
241+
otherwordly things. "Sampler" rounds out the rest of the system, providing
242+
pre-recorded sample playback. Samples can be pitched and played as the desired
243+
note.
244+
245+
Come hang out and chat on [Discord][Gamercade-Discord], where the developers
246+
interact with members and post updates daily. The project is
247+
[open source][Gamercade-Github] and looking for contributors, suggestions,
248+
as well as awesome game demos.
