Rise to stardom in a sequel to the hit rockstar career simulator
California – Gilligames has today revealed its new music industry simulator title, Rising Star 2, a sequel to the beloved classic game from 2007, for Steam. In Rising Star 2, players take on the role of their customizable own rookie musician and practice hard to achieve rock band stardom. This new entry introduces a more immersive 3D world, yet retains the upgradeable classic RPG-style skill system found in the original.
Players can upgrade their songwriting, instrument playing, stage presence, production, repair, and business skills to make it to the top. With thousands of customizable combinations of items and outfits, they are in charge of building their own star. As the band leader, players must recruit musicians with compatible personalities, book gigs across the country to increase their popularity, earn money from odd jobs to stay alive while pursuing a music career and make their own path to become successful.
“I am thrilled to bring the Rising Star franchise back to life,” said Todd Gillissie, founder of Gilligames. “Rising Star 2 is the perfect opportunity for those looking for an in-depth rock band simulator that requires you to build a rock career from scratch.”
