Psychonauts, the iconic platformer about entering peoples' psyches to sort out whatever emotional baggage they've got strewn about, is 20 years old. And to celebrate the milestone, Double Fine founder and Psychonauts director Tim Schafer shared some of his inspirations for the classic.
Before opening Double Fine Productions, Schafer was widely known for a bunch of LucasArts point-and-click adventure games, such as Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, but he decided to instead make a third-person, fully-3D platformer after playing Super Mario 64, naturally.
