When there are releases for Linux and PS3, I will buy them both! Lots of great news!

While I understand the business reasons for catering to the monopolist first, I hope future games take porting into account more from the start (if possible).

Yes it is a graphically-intensive game, and people tend to forget that games like Braid has alot of rendering going on. Thank you for replying. By the way, I wanted to dedicate this little piece that I wrote myself just in case you would like to put it in some future project of yours, in thanks for having the vision for Braid. It goes.. “Without time, there would be no past. Without a past, there would be no present. With out a present, there will be no future. Without time, there won’t be any exsistance. The only exsistance without time would be absolute nothingness” Hope you liked my saying. There is way more where that came from, but I want ti give that one to you. Thank you again.

Braid may just be running at a lower resolution in order to maintain a high frame rate (it is a more graphically-intensive game than one might think).

However, if you look in the readme it has some options you can use to force the game to run at a higher resolution if you want.

Mr. Blow, I tried playing Braid on my Toshiba Regza Lcd t.v at 1280×786 using HDMI. The sound is perfect but, the video is as if it is running at the lowest resolution. I tried other games such as Oblivion, and the Sims 3, and they all run on 1280×786 resolution. I do have a MSI 785g mobo that just been released, so could it be a driver issue with the game? It has a Radeon 4200 built in. If anything, I bought the game off of D2D (just incase) Thank you.

You could ask Direct2Drive about that, since they sell both the PC and Mac versions of the game. I would hope that they have a way of just emailing you a download link…

Hello,
I addict the Brade very much.
And I learn programming at college.

I always want to see a source code of Brade, and all my friends too.

if all people could see a source code of Brade, the qualification of them would be better.
You can improve the enlightenment of all peace, just by introducing Braid under LGPL(or under other free licence).

Is it possible?
May be after 2 or 3 years?

Unfortunately I can’t provide specific sales figures because contracts usually prevent me from doing so.
