Braid will be released on XBLA in early 2008!

Pictured: Sony vs. Microsoft!

Read about it here.

Definitely didn’t hear about it from Tim or anything.

You go, JB! <3

Dan, are you talking about Braid, or the photo of Jon-Jon? :3

I found the characters to be a bit more endearing in motion then in screen shots.

I guess I’m not the only one who thinks that the backgrounds in Braid look spektakulaar but the character art is pretty hum.

Ah, but who cares? JB is obviously some kind of design super-genius. High hopes for this one.

No, no, he’s making TWO cups levitate around him (look at the one on the right). Behold the power! Now we know that Braid with its crazy time-manipulation stuff is based on facts and has some autobiographical elements in it - author self-insertion probably. ;-)

No wonder the astonished look on Jon Mak’s face. :-D

I just noticed that Jon Blow is making a plastic cup levitate above his head!

OK - my comment didn’t get published because I used an apparently censored word (in a non-offensive way).

I’ll try again:

Lim-Dul said about 4 hours later: You do realize that Jon Mak is a dude? =)

papamook said about 8 hours later: your point being?

This was a response to this comment:

moi said about 3 hours later: You can tell that thes two have just been having hot hot sex

I don’t know if Jonathan Blow is straight or not but if he is then this comment is kinda disturbing. =)

The funny thing is that from this angle Jon Mak really does look like a girl, albeit with a flat chest. No offense meant (for the girl part as well as the flat chest part). =)

Okay, just as long as there will be a PC version eventually. I’d hate for indie to migrate to XBLA en masse, which sometimes seems like it could happen.

You don’t have to worry about the huge complexity of PCs, you just have to worry about it running on mine. ;)

Rz, you’re not the only one. I love the backgrounds and think they’re stunning, but the way the sprites (dull, just dull) and some less detailed backgrounds clash just makes the whole thing look awful… In my eyes, of course.

mmm, green beans.

There will be a PC version released. But it’s easier to do XBLA first, since that is a fixed platform, so it allows us to just get the game done without worrying about the huge array of compatibility issues that comes with the PC.

Oh geez, XBLA? WHY? The least you could do is a PC port.

I am thrilled that this conversation is going in this particular direction, and will be searchable on Internet archives until the end of time, any time someone wants to look up my name.

Just thrilled.

The green beans at that party were really good.

The one thing I can’t stop thinking about with Braid is the main character looks a lot like a kid I knew at secondary school. Same little outfit and everything.

That’s about it. Um… go XBLA
