Hi everyone! I just finished a pretty detailed transcription of Downstream for the violin, including all the bowings, slurs, fingerings, and ornamentation that I could figure out. AFAIK this is the most detailed transcription of Downstream online so far (because before I transcribed it myself, I tried to look for good sheet music elsewhre, but to no avail). Check it out here: http://musescore.com/veatsfx/downstream

Hey Mike Dunbar I’m actually looking for the tab for the guitar part would you mind writing it out?

Incidentally, if “Missguided” reads this, I can play the guitar part. If you still need to know I can write it out for you.

Hey,

I tried to find an appropriate thread to comment this in, I didn’t want to clutter up the blog, and I didn’t want to look as though I was trying to advertise by putting it on the latest entry. What it is is that I wrote a little song for my podcast about Braid, sampling, quite awfully, “Downstream”. I’ve already sent a similar comment to the blog of David Hellman, and I felt my embarrasment wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t send it to you, either.

My friends and I really love the game. In fact I showed the world 2 to my friend Mark and it blew his mind, I can hardly wait to see what happens by the time he reaches the end! Anyway, here’s a link to a page on my site with the song on it. You can stream it, so you needn’t waste your hard drive on it…

It’s, quitre obviously, the one titled “The Day I Lost to Braid”. It’s only short. I’m a PC user, so I’ve only just been able to play the game, and I’ve been in anticipation of it since the xbox release. Thanks for making it. I can’t imagine spending so much of my own money on a project like this where you can’t be sure how it’ll turn out. I’m really glad it’s worked out for you.

Hey guys, downstream is by far one of the greatest pieces of music ever to be created. So poetic and simple, as all genuis things are. But, i was wondering, does anyone know the tunning of the guitar playing in the backround? im trying to tab it out and standard tunning doesn’t seem to fit but i could be wrong, if anyone knows anything on guitar maybe help me out? thank you!! =)

An awful lot of the sound effects for Braid were bought over the Internet at very cheap prices. indiesfx and soundrangers.com were two of the major sources. Harry Mack later did a pass over many of these to make them sound just a bit different, and then fully recreated some other ones.

I think it was finished, some of the graphics (mouse icon for instance) could do with a bit of polishing but the game itself was completely playable. Of course, I couldn’t play the whole thing through unfortunately, but the parts that I did play seemed fine.

Jonathan,

Are some of the sound effects in Braid from IndieSFX? I bought a few packs from them a while back, and remember thinking that the “Pain/Grunt” noises in the “Squad Mechanics” set were too cheesy to ever be used in a serious game. And then, lo and behold, I hear them every time I take out a monster in Braid, and they sound great!

Just wondering- great game, by the way!

Simon:

So is it finished or just a beta or something? Anyway, I’m excited.
