{my word was puzzle :P}
Any info about this?
Braid II? I wouldn’t see you as a person that would milk a success, why not find a new concept, a new thing?
May 6th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Braid II sounds the fuckin’ bomb! I heard the multiplayer is a blast. I mean really, really rad. Hotter than a thousand suns. Etc.

Oh man, if a bad guy was glowing green, you could totally shoot them once, then rewind the bullet back through another part of their body! Repeatedly!! Ouch!!!

A bit late for an April fools joke huh? I thought it was quite funny, took me a few seconds to notice the title difference.
May 6th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
This is terrific! Is it horrible that I would totally play this game?
May 6th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Hey, if you made the game, I don’t care if it looks like that.
I’LL FUCKING PLAY IT.

May 7th, 2009 at 1:11 am
Funny, nice one! Awesome artwork btw!

I heard that Tim now carries nuclear bombs with him throughout each level…
May 7th, 2009 at 5:48 am
I LOVE how the face of the angry bear. I read the other day that you will develope Braid 2 only if you have a whole new concept and ideas. So this have to be april’s fool
And as Gavin said: if it is true, i’ll f*cking play it
May 7th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Hilarious!
May 7th, 2009 at 8:51 am
lol, Tim Nukem.
May 7th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Damn. You moved fast to incorporate the latest must-have feature: hyperbagging!

Hi,
I’m a french player, and I’ve just finished the game. It’s a really good “puzzle game”. But my problem is I ‘m romantic :
I want to show Tim with the princess, … or a new princess, or a flower-tail rabbit, or A HEDGEHOG !
BUT PLEASE, DON’T LEAVE HIM ALONE !!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAH {tears}
May 7th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Omg! Will we be able to play the dinosaur? I bet you get +30 score just for biting off someone’s head with that beast!
May 8th, 2009 at 5:20 am
I hear each level instead of collecting puzzle pieces you collect nuke pieces then at the end of the world you assemble them and drop it on the world killing everyone.
Konami code gives you infinite nuclear bombs to shoot.

Braid II : Weapons of Mass Destruction
May 8th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
“RIP TIME A NEW ONE!”
I laughed hard.
May 9th, 2009 at 3:07 am
@JonP I think the Dino is only for co-op mode.
And on XBLA it will be an unlockable DLC for 200 points
May 9th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
I just blew up all the castles. Where’s the princess now?
Nice touch using the cannon as the weapon of choice.
May 9th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
That was really clever
Also, if you look below tim’s front foot, you’ll see the word “parody”

Hello,
I dont know, where I can send you this message so I write it here.
I really would like to make Czech translate of Braid, but its quite hard to translate via hex editor. Can you send me game texts to my e-mail so i can translate them and send back for compilation or compile it myselve if you tell me how?
Thank you

I think it’s pretty obvious this is a joke. “Foolin’ Season 2009″ at the lower right corner of the image should tell you what this is all about. Anyway, nice new ways of using keys and puzzle parts.
May 11th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Braid as an MMO? Everyone busy working on their past to get a future that’ll be rewound?
Does not sound like closure.
People will also complain about lag.

Hey Jon,
Unrelated from this blog post but I was wondering if you had played the newly released PC game, “The Path”? It’s become a rather high profile art game release similar to Braid and has garnered a lot of attention and critical praise. Eurogamer made a hilarious comment about it as being “It’s also so arty that it makes Braid look like 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.” I don’t think they meant it as a dig against Braid, but rather to illustrate the VERY niche appeal of The Path.
I haven’t played it yet though I am definitely planning to and was interested in what you thought about the game, if you have played it. Do you know the developers “Tales of Tales?”
I’m very excited that more and more indie/art/niche games are being distributed by large publishers (steam is distributing the Path) and I hope this is a trend that will continue.
BTW, Congrats on Braid! One of my top 5 favorite games of all time.

Braid 2 - BRAID HARDER
May 14th, 2009 at 5:35 am
Braid…just finished it.
Its about Time….yes….
——————————-
It seems as one becomes older,
That the past has another pattern….
We had the experience, but missed the meaning,
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form, beyond any meaning
We can assign to happiness.

I just completed Braid. A remarkable, unforgettable game! I loved every aspect of it. This was the first computer game with depth that I have ever played. I feel uplifted by the experience and will carry the story with me.
May 17th, 2009 at 7:25 am
Jon - just to remind you that the release notes on the Steam version don’t explain that you can change the resolution on braid using the command line -width 1920 -height 1080 (or whatever resolution you want) - I run my PC through an HDTV that only supports some resolutions, and your native one is not. It’s taken ages to find any reference to the resolution change facility - I think it would be very sensible to have it in the release notes.

Good Job guys!
I just love Braid! Very charming graphics and music! Interesting ideas! Keep Up the good work!
I’m looking forward to the next game
Look, I am currently working in a team of translators and we were looking for a next project… Do You think we could translate Braid into Georgian language?
We would like to release it as a free patch to a licensed game (or in any way You would find suitable)
Whom could I contact in regards to that issue?
Thanks beforehand!

May 6th != April 1st, right?
(and are we going to wait for this one Forever? or that doesn’t matter what with the time manipulation stuff and all?)

Oh boy, this dude has battle-thirsty slowpoke!
May 27th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Lovely! Co-operative play with your purple shadow self!
June 13th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Seriously though, make another one!! Only make it 10 times longer.
July 10th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Hey– I actually did the drawing for that Game Informer gag, and realized I never put up a blog post about it! Here’s the link (which mostly talks about being on THIS blog), and a larger image of the art without the copy. Thanks for the comments; Braid is one of my very favorite games, so this was a fun one to do!

Hey Jonathan, didn’t know where else to say it, so I just wanted to thank you for Braid. It’s smarter and more challenging than Portal, which says a lot. It also stuck with me, and kept me thinking long after I finished it. Well done.
September 2nd, 2009 at 6:32 pm
It was a good game. True, Brett, but also more pompous and less likable than Portal. The coy what’s-he-really-mean effect kept one thinking not so much in a he-gave-me-something-substantial-to-think-about way, as a did-I-miss-a-piece and which-shell-is-it-under kind of way. Which would be fine if it didn’t take itself so seriously.

WE NEED MULTIPLAYER BATTLE BRAID.
October 3rd, 2009 at 5:52 am

This game was one of the best I’ve ever played!
It needs a second part! same concepts but new atractions!
It can be missed!!!!
December 14th, 2009 at 3:33 pm

December 22nd, 2009 at 2:38 am
