Sea Of Stars is well on its way to launching on the Nintendo Switch on August 29th, 2023. To celebrate, developer Sabotage Studio has joined forces with The Escapist to present a "Making Of" documentary that's now available for free via YouTube.
The half-hour documentary is well worth checking out if you're a fan of Sabotage Studio's previous effort The Messenger and are looking forward to the upcoming launch of Sea of Stars. It goes into how Sabotage Studio was formed, how The Messenger came to be, and what the team is doing to ensure Sea of Stars stands out from the crowd in the RPG genre.
If you're concerned about spoilers, then fear not: we've already watched the documentary ourselves and can confirm that it doesn't go into any key story details. Rather, the developers talk more about the technical aspects of the game, like pacing, lighting mechanics, and day/night cycles - that sort of thing.
Are you looking forward to Sea of Stars later this month? What do you make of this documentary? Leave a comment with your thoughts below.

Wow, that's cool! I wish there were more such documents about the newest games.
Looks really good. Sadly I fell off The Messenger once it opened up into a more Metroidvania style, enjoyed it way more when it was linear. Might have to give it another go before playing this
I am going to love playing this game...
...on XBOX GamePass
Pretty cool, will watch this when I have the time for it and really looking forward to eventually playing Sea of Stars!
Those "making of" documentaries are usually fun to watch. I remember having a blast watching the Deus Ex Human Revolution making of back in the day. Will watch this one with interest.
Really looking forward to seeing how this game turns out. It’s got the unfortunate pleasure of launching right before Starfield on Xbox and Baldur’s Gate on PS5, but I’m tempted to start it first at least. Loved the Messenger.
I was excited for this game and still am but boy oh boy did chained echoes set a very high. I almost wonder if chained echoes being so well received and impressive is what caused this game to be pushed back a bit.
@Bablommebite I wish Nintendo would do them. There was a short behind the scenes thing for Prime Trilogy and it was great but they never seem to do anything too in depth which is a shame
@larryisaman BOTW had it too, it's a shame that they don't do it more.
This documentary was so well made in every single way. Can't express enough how much the transparency and passion makes this game one of, if not THE most special release in 2023.
@larryisaman That's a bummer to hear. The game opening up a bit and having you go back through areas a bit differently was a huge selling point of the experience and the story lol
@drunk_guy Chained Echos was very good. And that could also be part if the excitement build for this for many. Day 1 on both Game Pass and PS Plus, it'll have an opportunity to shine - for a few days at least until SF sucka the air out of the room.
The graphics and sound in this game are on another level and the demo was wonderful. I'm usually a physical-only person but will buy this digitally day one. The demo sold it for me, though if I'm being honest these types of games are so up my alley that they often disappoint me when I actually play them.
Oooh, something nice to watch during the boring hours at work
I want to go in as blindly as possible.
I backed this so I’ll have a gravestone with my name in this game. Can’t wait!
@Manguy888A I think this one won’t disappoint. You can just tell how much love and care was put into this game.
I'll watch this tonight. After completing the demo, I'm more excited than ever for this. I'm also getting a bit of a Golden Sun vibe from the exploring aspect of the game.
I'll probably play it on PS Plus. It's odd how both services are getting it day one.
I'd rather play it on Switch, as this is a type of game I'd prefer to play on a handheld, but I'm holding out hope it gets a physical edition on Switch before I buy it. Perhaps Limited run games will put out a physical copy in about 6 months.
