Not long ago, I posted that Braid had entered final certification. It seems the game has passed cert on the first try, and is now set for release. A release date has been scheduled, but I can’t announce it, since that date is under Microsoft nondisclosure.
Thankfully, we didn’t get caught in certification hell like these guys.
Great news. Congratulations! 🙂
I’m so excited!
Congratulations, and I greatly look forward to being able to play your game.
Hurrah! 😀
I just hope your search for a decent PC publishing deal goes as smoothly 🙂
congrats! can’t wait to play at home. played on corp net and loved. i miss the classic 2D games but love your twist on it. some of the puzzle are really well made.
Congrats!!!!! I hope the release date isn’t that far ahead. Can’t wait to get a change to play the full game!
Congratulations! I hope MS has E3 plans for you! They worked well for us (Marathon)
Yeeeeeesssssss.
So can we have an estimated time frame of release? Like, this month?
Sweet
Congrats, can’t wait to see the results of your hard work!
Congratulations.
Congrats guys, I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Here’s hoping that it finds both critical and commercial success.
Congrats!! There should be a theme party!
I thought about having a release party but game development has turned me into a hermit with no friends. Nobody would show up!
Oh, hey. Shogi. Always wanted to play that. And non-kanji tiles, even!
If you had a release party, we could all play shogi.
Or, well. Other board games.
That was really fast. Like Bruce Morrison said, it would be cool to see some E3 coverage. I look forward to finally playing this on my 360.
Hopefully the delayed release of Bionic Commando Rearmed won’t push Braid back too far. I imagine they’d want to put some space between them.
Do you guys have any plans/aspirations to get a PC release on Steam?
I definitely need to write up a FAQ sometime!
There will be a PC release. It may make its way to Steam eventually but probably won’t go there first.
FUCK YES! I will be customer zero!
Are you intending to release on Steam? I’d certainly buy it!
So looking forward to this =) Thanks so much in advance, Jonathan.
Congrats! Kind of off-topic, but: have you/are you planning on posting anything about the music in Braid? Did you write it yourself? Were there special artistic constraints because of time-rewinding?
@Ed: honestly, read Jon’s comment two posts above yours.
wooo, fire off the party poppers!
Hell yes! I really can’t wait to experience Braid!
Oh snap! Congratulations! I can’t wait to play the final version!
Great job and almost time to celebrate then! I’m really looking forward to the release.
Congratulations! I’ve played Braid on PartnerNet and I must say I’ve enjoyed it very very much. It’s definitely among the best games I’ve had the chance to play and probably the most original.
I will certainly be buying it as soon as it’s out on XBLA.
Congratulations. That was fast.
Cool. I can’t wait to… oh, I’ve already played! eheheh.
Well, I’ll see how the spanish translation finally is. I’ll try to push the most people I can to buy it, it’s a masterpiece.
I’m sure this isn’t the right thread for it, but Braid is fantastic, and the ending is a masterpiece. I very much look forward to seeing it’s official release so I can share it’s beauty and genius with my wife at home, rather than having the entire office crowded around me as we tried to figure out the last puzzle piece.
My one suggestion to everyone is don’t cheat. I couldn’t, and every puzzle was that much sweeter for working it out myself, even if you get stuck for days it’ll come and when it does you’ll feel a genius. Whereas with a guide it would be a bittersweet victory.
Great, great news, Jonathan! I remember e-mailing you back and forth some months back about the cert-hell that Catan went through. Glad that you’re getting your game out before the holiday rush (hopefully) and I’ll be able to get my hands on the final code!
Wish you all the best.
