About Gilligames
Gilligames founder Todd M. Gillissie discovered computer programming and paper & pencil role-playing games as a young teen in the 80’s. Self-taught in programming, graphic arts, music and sound engineering, Gillissie eventually put them all together and began creating games. While still primarily a hobbyist game designer & developer, Gillissie was recruited by Shrapnel Games to publish his first commercial game “Space HoRSE” in 2002.

On February 19, 2007, Gilligames released the musical sim/role-playing game “Shady O’Grady’s™ Rising Star”. SOGRS is Gilligames’ first release as a publisher. The sequel, “Rising Star 2” was eventually released on August 12, 2020, and still has an active following to this day.

Gilligames has published a few mobile games for iOS and Android, including desert island survival game “Stranded Without A Phone”, and match-3 word game “Word Wager”.

In June of 2024, Todd decided to revisit “Shrouded Aspect”, a fantasy-based tactical strategy game that was originally designed in 2007 but never finished as a PC game. A release date of May 1, 2025 is planned.
