Starstruck Galaxy: Revolutionizing Music Creation with AI-Powered Mobile Gaming Experience
January 9, 2025
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.
