Braid PC includes level editor News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

15 April, 2009

Braid creator Jonathan Blow has revealed that he shipped a hidden level editor in the PC version, which came out last Friday.

Having confirmed someone's find on the Steam forums, Blow subsequently posted some basic documentation on his blog.

"The way it works is you can make levels with the editor (up to a full game, potentially) and run that with -universe later... also a tool will be released that lets you take Photoshop files and import them into the game, if you want to put new graphics in your levels," he said in his original Steam forums response.

Apparently you can replace sounds, levels and graphics, although "doing two players isn't really going to work". The network code is in another castle!

Braid, just in case you missed all the Xbox 360 hullabaloo, is a 2D platform puzzle game where you manipulate time while basically having an existential crisis. It's very pretty and there's a dinosaur in it.

Aaand it's cheaper than it's release on the 360.

Console owners (me) owned again.

Aaand it's brilliant, get it if you've been playing Mario Bros since it came out in the 80s and want your mind blown.

A level editor might make the second purchase on the PC worth it... But ever since I discovered the FULL story in Braid, the entire game creeps me the fuck out. All of it. Much more than any silly survival horror.

Actually, it isn't, as far as I am aware - pretty much the same price. And don't forget that the console platform holders take a chunk, so the PC version should be cheaper. Not that I am complaining about the price as such, it's well worth the money.

The game is really creepy. Even Braid himself looks creepy imo.

You mean Tim? Tim the Terrible. He's short, and has the syndrome.
