I've been working on a fantasy console for several years now that is essentially that: a sort of "16-bit" scale version where PICO-8 is more "8-bit" scale.

No idea if it will ever see the light of day, but it's been a very therapeutic hobby project.

Is it opensource? I'd love to check it out.

It isn't.

I love open source: my two books are open source, I work in open source, and almost all of my hobby projects are open source.

But after spending all day coordinating with users and combing through the issue tracker, there's something very relaxing to me to have a little project where I don't feel "on stage" whenn working on it. It's good for me to get a social break.
