I don’t think Jon is going to answer questions about interpreting Braid here. Though I think it’s a bit out there that the title has anything to do with Braid. I think it’s called Braid because a Braid is a thing that we weave in and out, as Tim does with time. The braid is significant in the story too, though I don’t know whether it or the title came first.

Two things that occurred to me to do with the braid, which I think are quite cool:

*SPOILER ALERT*
-The girl you chase in the last level does not have a braid. Either she’s not the princess, or the braid is a metaphor (it is anyway, so I guess this would make it more of a metaphor)
-I didn’t understand the significance of the braid lashing Tim’s face in the first textboxes until I was wondering whether the other events they describe were happening in reverse. The fact that it was able to do this shows that it wasn’t.

Just curious, but is the name Braid based on the John Braid, the Scottish physician that was the originator of the concept of hypnotism and wrote the first papers on it ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Braid_(physician)

“Well, this isn’t going to be what I would consider a large production team; it’s a very small team by the standards of the mainstream game industry.”

If this team can produce something half a good as your last venture I’m already sold. Good luck, and thanks for your genius with Braid.
