Hi Jonathan. I hope this message gets to you. Could you just point me in the direction of your development of some of the time control in Braid? I’ve found lots of hacks for it, but Braid seems to be the most successful implementation I’ve found, and I was wondering which method you used for the time implementation.

Thank you,

This is the only game my girlfriend will allow me to play in her presence. She studies art (painting) in Edinburgh and absolutely loves the design in Braid.

She also kept me up till 3am trying to figure out how to get those two cheeky puzzle pieces in World 2.

Thanks for the good times- I hope it’s a success.

Jonathan you have created (in my opinion) the best game i have ever played, i downloaded this the day it was released and i was absolutely blown away. This game is worth 1200 points for the depth and ingenuity of the story alone, i don’t want to sound like a fan boy but i feel i have to show my appreciation for such an amazing acomplishment. you are a genius and becomming widely known as an artist rather than a developer. please release all your future games on xbox 360.

btw if this was 800 points i would have downloaded it twice lol

Yeah, Braid is better than MGS4. Not MGS1 or 3 though. 😉

So, how’s those talks with Sony going? I want Braid on my PS3 and PSP!

Jonathan, may you be making games for many, MANY years to come.
Braid is an out-and-out work of genius, and my only wish is that more developers had your vision and talent.
Congratulations on a Eurogamer 10/10 btw, while numbers in reviews are meaningless to the initiated, I’m sure that it will do you many favours from a notably harsh review team.
Keep up the good work.

Count me in as well.. I would love to play Braid on ps3. I don’t have a Xbox 360 and don’t plan on getting one, so my only hope is for a ps3 release..

Well Shawn, I’m a PS3 owner and I can honestly say that this is a great game… even though you can only get it on the Xbox360. 🙂
Not every PS3 owner is mental, mind you (alas, they do exist) 😉

I’ve followed Jonathan’s work for these last couple of years, way before the time he announced it would be released on the MS console.

I would love to support his work on the PS3 (and I still hope I will be able to do it in the future).
As it stands (I don’t have a Xbox360, nor am I thinking of getting one… for many reasons), I can only keep cheering Jonathan for his dedication and vision.

Abraço,
Nuno

I have played the demo, it’s an awesome game. I’ll probably buy it within the next week.

I got to ask though, Space Giraffe the best game on XBLA? what are you smoking? It’s more like he had no choice but to sell at 400. That’s 5 bucks better spent if you think of it as a screensaver.

Congratulations on braid though, it is an amazing game, and I will buy it.

Will Microsoft let you make a ps3 version? I know the way ps3 owners are man, they’re mental. They’ll call your game crap as long as it’s 360 exclusive, then when there’s a ps3 version they’ll say it’s the best game ever(and buy it). Let it sink in for a month or 2, then drop it on the PSN, you’ll make a lot more money that way.

I’m glad that you answer your omments section. I just want to know if you are thinking about releasing this game on PC soon, either offering it on your website or on Steam. It seems like a great game, but sadly I don’t have the funds for a 360 yet.

Not to sound like a dick, but I am wary of folks who ask for games to be transfered to the 360 or PS3 or vice versa. Microsoft invested tons of money and resource to get a game like Braid’s caliber on their system first.

Which means they want you to invest in their system to play this masterpiece. Quit begging and quite being stubborn, buy a 360.

Same goes for gamers who want MSG4, save some money buy a PS3.
