Gilligames Background
Studio Gilligames was founded by Todd M. Gillissie who discovered computer programming along with paper & pencil role-playing games as a young teen in the 80's. He's self-taught in various disciplines that include, among others, programming, graphic arts, music and sound engineering. Gillissie eventually put them all together and started to create games. While being primarily a hobbyist game designer & developer, he was recruited by Shrapnel Games to publish his first commercial game "Space HoRSE," released in 2002.
Then in February 2007, Gilligames released the musical sim/role-playing game "Shady O'Grady's Rising Star." This title was Gilligames' first release as a publisher. The sequel, "Rising Star 2" was eventually released on August 12 2020 and to this day continues to have an active following to this day.
Gilligames later published a few mobile games for iOS and Android, which included desert island survival games like “Stranded Without A Phone” and the match-3 word game “Word Wager’.
Then in June 2024, Todd made the decision to revisit Shrouded Aspect. This fantasy-based tactical strategy game was originally designed in 2007 but never finished as a PC game. Wishlist Shrouded Aspect on Steam now.
