Starstruck Galaxy: Revolutionizing Music Creation with AI-Powered Mobile Gaming Experience
  • Record Games has developed a mobile game called Starstruck Galaxy, which uniquely blends social features with AI-assisted music creation.

  • In Starstruck Galaxy, players can collect instruments, jam with friends and AI, and engage in music competitions such as Charts and Battle of the Bands.

  • Founded in 2022 by Rob Edgington, Record Games is a small studio based in Worthing, UK, consisting of Edgington and two teammates, Bence Kovacs and Gabriele Caruso.

  • Edgington acknowledges the hurdles faced by indie developers, particularly in securing funding and scaling the team, and credits his wife, Sarah, for her support.

  • The team's immediate goal is to release Starstruck Galaxy to a small audience, gather data, and secure seed funding for further development.

  • The game, inspired by Guitar Hero and Pokémon, achieved second place at the PGC Helsinki Very Big Indie Pitch competition held in late 2024.

  • This pitch event marked the first public presentation of Starstruck Galaxy, where it received positive feedback from judges, significantly boosting the team's confidence.

  • Central to the gameplay is a live-loop-pedal system that allows players to layer tracks and create original songs.

  • Additionally, the game will include Challenge modes to assist players in learning music composition and generative music AI that can function as AI bandmates.

  • Record Games aims to modernize music creation, drawing a parallel to Instagram's transformative effect on photography, enabling players to share their musical creations.

  • Edgington envisions Starstruck Galaxy as a leading mobile game that allows players to realize their dreams of becoming celebrated musicians, with plans for more innovative projects in the pipeline.

  • Kovacs brings expertise in audio synthesizer plugins, while Caruso contributes as a 3D artist and musician, both drawing inspiration from the Guitar Hero franchise.
