The new website has finally been created. This site will be the location to find the latest news on any games or music coming out of Sigma Studios.

Music Maven Online was first launched in February 2002. Back then, the game was written in ASP against an Access database, and had trouble handling the 100 bands that played at the time. Over the last year, the game has steadily increased in popularity, despite moving servers a few times, and being completely rewritten from the ground up. Today the game, currently at Version 2, boasts over 2000 active bands and still continues to grow. Click here to begin playing.
