Deadmau5 Is Creating a Music Experience Inside a Game

Deadmau5’s Oberhasli: A New Kind of Music Game Experience

Oberhasli, unveiled at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, is set to launch on October 14. This project is an evolving online space combining music and gaming, curated by Deadmau5 and open to all users. The launch will feature an opening performance by Deadmau5 and other artists, serving as a prelude to the full Oberhasli experience.

Oberhasli aims to create a unique musical experience within a gaming platform, distinct from virtual concerts in games like Fortnite. It avoids the time constraints often imposed on players in those formats, promising a more flexible and engaging experience for users.

A Long-Term Vision for Music and Gaming

In a press release, Deadmau5 explained his vision: “Creating a world like Oberhasli has been a long-held dream of mine, but I quickly realized how difficult it can be to create a multiplayer experience as a solo developer. The amazing thing about Core is that anyone can jump in and create content regardless of experience or resources. Virtual concerts have been tried before, but after making a big splash, they quickly fizzle out, as if there is no shelf life to them. It is my goal to establish Oberhasli as an important part of the artist community by regularly updating it over time, changing things up and keeping it cohesive with real-world news and ancillary events.”

Core’s Potential: A Unique Platform for Creation

A key difference between Core and platforms like Roblox is that Core prioritizes game creation. Its ease of use allows players to easily design and share games within the community. Deadmau5’s involvement represents a significant advancement for Core, setting it apart from competitors. Notably, Deadmau5 previously incorporated Core creations into his music video, ‘When the Summer Dies,’ released earlier this year.
