Our take on Rock Star Manager
Instead of following a performer’s rise, this game focuses on the studio manager’s responsibilities. Recruiting bands, training musicians, arranging shows and albums, tracking finances, and addressing personal problems replace the usual performance-centered structure.
What is Rock Star Manager?
Manage a music studio by scouting and hiring bands, training musicians, and scheduling shows and albums.
The game also covers musicians’ personal problems, studio finances, and reputation. A scouting and potential system supports decisions about bands and musicians, while random generation creates the available bands and musicians. A news feed records actions taken during play. The frontman of each band has traits tracked through a trait system. These mechanics place studio management, artist development, scheduling, and personnel decisions at the center of the game.
