Joel Zimmerman – who you’ll almost certainly know better as Deadmau5 – is working on a game of his own. It’s extremely early in development, but Deadmau5 did recently offer up a stream of the alpha on his Twitch channel.

He tweets that this is “mad early ‘alpha alpha’ testing,” but that he and the team are making “great progress.” He says “for now, consider it a pet project… give us a year at least.”
The clip showcases a bit first-person gameplay on a test map, while Deadmau5 says they’ll be going for hitscan with all the weapons aside from the sniper rifle, similar to Fortnite.
In a slightly longer statement on Reddit, Deadmau5 says he’s working with a team of developers “who REALLY know their shit with UE,” apparently either five or six people. He says “at present, we’re just setting up some basic mechanics, getting a space together where we can jam out in an arena of sorts and spitball ideas.”
Don’t expect an idea of the game’s title or format for a good while yet, but Deadmau5 says he’s “passionate about it” despite the “long and arduous process.” Who knows, maybe they’ll even figure out a solution for stream sniping.
