Speaking of which, I know I’m a few years behind but I did finally get it and …good work, man. Good work. I’m really enjoying this so far.

Also, it’s really great to see the quantum leap the indie game industry (well, maybe industry is a bad word, but you get the idea) has taken over the past couple years. Even better is that the quality in general of the games has taken that leap as well.

Cheers and thanks!

I think that tells you something.

Why do you say Braid will not work on Iphone ? In my eyes, it is the perfect game on iphone because it uses minimal controls. There are games on Iphone waay more complex and they work great. But the best games are thoose with few controls, and Braid is one of thoose.

What more controls are there except the the direction buttons , jump button and rewind button ?

Would you care to explain exactly what you think would not work ?
Even if it is not announced to Iphone, it is Highly anticipated in our wish lists.

I think you just dont like the money. I bet there would be more gamers buying Braid on Iphone alone than gamers on all the other platforms you have released Braid on combined together.

Can’t wait to see what games you guys help producing.

I really wanted to get in touch with you, and I wasn’t sure how to go about it, so this seemed a great place to do it.

My team is early stages of development of an Indie game that I honestly believe could be huge (I know a lot of people say that, but I mean it!). We understand that an indie game can only be as succesful as its reputation in the ‘indie-underground’. To which we will be frequenting the community forums in the coming months getting some buzz about the game going.

My main question is, where do I start when it comes to getting a publisher to talk to me about our game? Is there something we can do early on that will help us coming the final stages?

We’re developing using the Unity 3D platform and have ideals about the game eventually being ported to the major consoles. I know there’s things like the ‘indie-fund’ (which is fantastic by-the-way and greatly appreciated) and the Sony Pub Fund, but we have no idea where to start.

The most viable platform, and also seemingly the most accessbile to the indie developer at the moment seems to be Steamworks.

Of course, we could also sell it ourselves via download, but I worry about security and piracy in this respect.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for Braid, you really are a pioneer in the industry.

Best of luck and suport from Portugal

Usually people proposing to do an iPhone port say, “no, it would work great!” and then I ask them how they would make it playable and they don’t even have an answer for me — they didn’t care enough about the game to even think about any of the issues, they just wanted to do a shovelware port of a game and pick up some money for it.
