Coming off the fan-favorite retro-style 2D action game The Messenger, Sabotage Studio's follow-up Sea of Stars was another game paying homage to the 2D era, this time focusing on JRPGs. At the recent Golden Joystick Awards 2024, GamesRadar+ caught up with game director Thierry Boulanger to catch up about the game and learn their references for making an original 2D-style JRPG.
Simply put, Boulanger stated that Nintendo was one of their biggest influences in their retro throwbacks and how the team learns something from "every single game ever."
