Jupiter & Mars + Ico: Games Behind the Games | Episode 4 | Featuring James Mielke
Our latest look behind the inspiration that power the creations published by Limited Run Games takes us to Brooklyn and the offices of Tigertron to meet with Jupiter & Mars designer James Mielke about the eco-conscious journey of two courageous dolphins through the oceans of the future. Surprisingly, even though Jupiter & Mars takes place beneath the seas of a post-human world, its greatest inspiration came from a deeply human game about the emotional bond that formed between two strangers in a quest to escape a hostile and barren landscape: Sony's Ico. James Mielke and Jeremy Parish revisit Ico together as they discuss what made it such a deeply moving work, then look at the ways Sony's PlayStation 2 masterpiece helped inform Tigertron's PlayStation VR creation.
