Electronic music artist Deadmau5 has teamed up with Manticore Games, the maker of the user-generated game platform Core, on a dystopian worlds game jam.

In the contest, amateur creators on Core will create dystopian worlds for a new music video being created by Deadmau5 for the upcoming single, When the Summer Dies. Grammy-nominated Deadmau5 created the song with musician Lights. Deadmau5 is on the leading edge of art and tech, and he recently dropped some nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on the market for Blankos Block Party and they sold out within five minutes.
