toblix Posted March 7, 2007 Am I late to the party on this? http://www.northcountrynotes.org/jason-rohrer/arthouseGames/seedBlogs.php?action=display_post&post_id=jcr13_1170707395_0&show_author=1&show_date=1 This sounds totally awesome! I love special platform games, and this? This sounds pretty fucking special. Also, what is happening with that cool silhouette 2d platform game that only had a little flash page advertising it and it seemed really cool and there was falling blocks and gears(not falling)?

Spaff Posted March 7, 2007 well, until like yesterday I had never heard of Jonathan Blow, but it seems he's really famous or something. Is that jsut everyone else prentending like they know him so they don't seem stupid, or have i really missed out on this guy forever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Limbo. I'm really excited about it, but also frustrated that the website hasn't changed in about a year now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manny_c44 Posted March 8, 2007 I'd heard of him...I think it must have been on Grand Text Auto, or an interview somewhere. Anyway, I'm actually pretty interested in Braid, is there any release information anywhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n0wak Posted March 8, 2007 This game's been getting some buzz in indie circles. So much so that I have no idea what to think of it. I've seen some people that played it go on saying that it's the greatest game ever made ever for all time and then others saying... no. http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2007/02/braid_vaguely_demystified_blim.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted March 8, 2007 Does anyone know if this game will be, like, sold? And if so, how? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted March 8, 2007 Braid was at the Experimental Gameplay Sessions last year and blew my brains out. It's really awesome. Jonathan Blow is a respected indie dev who organizes the Indie Games Jam (google it) and the Experimental Gameplay Sessions at GDC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted March 13, 2007 All you should know, if you want the full experience, is that Braid is a 2D platform game in which the player manipulates the flow of time. If you're willing to wait for an official release, you should stop reading here. So I did. /me puts fingers in ears, shuts eyes and constantly chants, "La-la-la-la-la!"

Noyb Posted September 14, 2007 Looks like Braid is coming out to Xbox Live Arcade in early 2008. There's a lengthy video (spoils some of the gameplay twists and puzzles) from the Independent Game Summit about the gameplay and the designer's prototyping process.

Nachimir Posted October 29, 2007 I played this for a bit at GameCity in Nottingham this weekend. It's pretty cool, and yet another reason I'm tempted to get a 360. Death is meaningless because you can rewind time without constraint, for instance I died three times in five seconds trying to pin down some timing. This gives the whole game a pleasingly experimental bent where you throw yourself into danger to see what happens rather than avoiding it. Some of the puzzles have the same sort of "Eureka!" moments as Portal, in that you're interacting with a fairly traditional seeming Video game world in new ways.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted February 19, 2009 Heads up... The PC version of Braid is being released at the end of March. I'm actually tempted to pick it up again... Would that just be silly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted February 19, 2009 Damnit... stop posting news about that. Or at least until it's actually released. I don't wan to anticipate this event. I just want to play the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted February 20, 2009 If you've not already played it, you'd be best not to get your hopes up too high... It's just a platform puzzler more than anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted February 20, 2009 It's just a game -- why play it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted February 20, 2009 Exactly. I don't know why I even mentioned it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nachimir Posted February 20, 2009 It won "Best Casual Game" at AIAS. Ouch! I'm not sure if they were actually trying to insult Jon, or just determined to fit it in for an award around all the other good games that came out last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted February 25, 2009 It won "Best Casual Game" at AIAS. Ouch!I'm not sure if they were actually trying to insult Jon, or just determined to fit it in for an award around all the other good games that came out last year. I think they give out the same awards every year. They just looked at Braid and thought "Hey it's downloadable and 2D... Casual!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
