Into video games? There’s a new metal festival simulator.

What’s it like to be onstage at a music festival performing for thousands of adoring fans? Only a select few know that feeling. But now there’s a simulator that promises to give us a taste of that.

Lord of Metal a simulator currently in development. The premise is that you build a metal festival from scratch–so, The Sims for metalheads and would-be promoters. You start at the bottom and them work your way up to being a mega-promoter.

There’s a Kickstarter campaign underway.

    Great post! The idea of a metal festival simulator sounds really unique and exciting, especially mixing event building with metal culture. I’m curious if the game will also focus on the technical aspects, like sound engineering or stage setup, or primarily on management. By the way, have you seen the recent article about the GeForce RTX 5090 and its impact on gaming performance? I wonder if this simulator would take advantage of such powerful GPUs for smoother gameplay and detailed graphics. Does your post touch on hardware requirements or performance expectations for the game?
