Im dat type of guy hu doesnt want to waste time playing games, few games cud grab me and make me play them , the original prince of persia, halflife for example … wth braid well im speechless …. no highend gpu required… still one of da best graphics and art ive ever seen…well why im sayin
“one of da” .. its the best ….( i don play games much …but its not like i havnt seen other games in action ) …. wth such a nice gameplay … i wish other game developers thot more like Jonathan Blow , hehe but that ud hav made me a full time gamer i think 😛

Thank You Jonathan Blow , really frm da hrt … for makin such a game that wakes up the child in a man ….. longing to go to fairyland ………..

Man, I loved your poem for THe Witness! Don’t know much about Taoism but definitely love the personification of solitude, and what else is said about it. Wonderful(l) subject.

有物混成，先天地生。
寂兮寥兮，独立不改，周行不殆，可以为天地母。
吾不知其名，字之曰道，强为之名曰大。
大曰逝，逝曰远，远曰反。
故道大，天大，地大，人亦大。域中有四大，而人居其一焉。
人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然。

I have found the quote from Dao De Jing 🙂

“BTW, if anyone knows of a god, comprehensive indie game site I’d appreciate a link.” -bob

Hello bob. I usually go to http://www.tigsource.com, but there are some games that don’t go on there too. However, I remember playing some games that I played a long time ago, but then eventually an article gets posted on tigsource. Other times I see a game there I probably would have never found by myself, so I think that site will suit your purpose if you didn’t already know about it.

@Ivan: Agreed; wish I’d called dibs first! I can imagine lots of interesting ideas games could bring to the table as regards different, and differing perspectives. I saw Rashomon again last week, and a game covering similar themes could be amazing. While I’m probably on the wrong track with respect to Mr. Blow’s game, I shall have to ponder these thoughts further…

i insist. lao tzu is the man. you should all read the tao te king before playing the game. and also some of the chuang tzu stories.

i guess i’m just guessing here. maybe the game won’t have a big influence on this kind of philosophy, but even the title reminds me meditation ala budism and taoism.

the witness… that has to be the coolest name for a game. EVER.

Just finished Braid recently.
The game was really awesome and I can’t wait until The Witness comes out. 🙂

I heard about Braid coming to the PSN. Is it at all possible for it to come out on the PSP as well?

They want my gender and birthdate and they want me to accept a 3 page tiny print legal agreement before they’ll take my money. Blecch. I don’t have the hardware (graphics card) or OS to run it anyway though, I was just going to buy it to give to someone or run on a friend’s machine. But I’d rather buy in a brick and mortar store and hand over cash for product without having to answer invasive questions.
