_Preview of the Audio Editor in Action_

[Gamercade] ([Discord][Gamercade-Discord], [Github][Gamercade-Github])

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.
