Sea of ​​Stars, the latest project from Sabotage Studios, already has a lot going for it, but it just got even better. Composer Yasunori Mitsuda, famous for his work on Chrono Trigger, has announced that he is joining the project and contributing new original material to the soundtrack for the upcoming Messenger prequel.
That would be pretty incredible news for any game, but it's especially true given that Sea of ​​Stars is an indie title that's partly inspired by 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,' that was the feeling I had upon seeing it. convey the nostalgic golden age of the 90s."
He also said it was about more than nostalgia. Sabotage's efforts with The Messenger, combining new ideas with classic formulas, really made their work stand out.
Impressed with the respect they show for past games while providing players with new ways to have fun, I found myself wanting to make a game with everyone at Sabotage Studio. Expect an exciting adventure.
Sabotage creative director Thierry Boulanger said:
Mitsuda's music has carried me for years. I still listen to his work every week while working in the studio. He was such an inspiration to many of us, we couldn't be more honored to have some of his music added to our game.
It's exactly what Sea of ​​Stars needed to feel truly whole.
The Sea of ​​Stars Kickstarter campaign is getting pretty exciting. It reached the base fundraising goal in under 10 hours and broke three stretch goals, bringing some sort of co-op mode with Single Player+, a bonus dungeon, in-game cutscenes, New Game+, an alternate ending, and a behind-the-scenes documentary at the package.
As of now, there's still no solid release schedule for Sea of ​​Stars, but stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Sea of ​​Stars updates as they come. their development.
