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