That would be pretty incredible news for any game, but it’s even more so considering Sea of Stars is an indie title taking inspiration in part from Chrono Trigger.
Mitsuda provided a statement on the game’s Kickstarter explaining why he decided to contribute, saying, “Without knowing why, ‘I want to write music for this game’ was the feeling I had while seeing it convey the nostalgic golden age of the 90s.”
He also said it’s about more than nostalgia. Sabotage’s efforts with The Messenger, combining new ideas with classic formulas, is what really made their work stand out.
Sabotage’s creative director, Thierry Boulanger, said:
Sea of Stars’ Kickstarter campaign is getting pretty exciting. It reached the base funding goal in under 10 hours and smashed three stretch goals, bringing a sort of co-op mode with Single Player+, bonus dungeon, in-game cinematics, New Game+, alternate ending, and behind-the-scenes documentary to the package.
It’s exactly what Sea of Stars needed to feel truly whole.
As yet, there’s still no solid release timeframe for Sea of Stars, but stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Sea of Stars updates as they develop.
