Braid Creator Jonathan Blow Working on 2D Game?
Posted January 25, 2009 by Jereme Puik

In what is quite a lengthy and interesting discussion with Gamasutra, Jonathan Blow (Creator of the XBLA game, Braid) seems to have revealed work on his next title. It seems as if he'll be heading backwards working on an all new 2D game much like what Capcom did with Mega Man 9, although hopefully not as ridicously hard.

So aside from the other versions of Braid, presumably you're working on another game?

JB: I am. I don't really want to give much detail about it, though. And the reason is that I've had three or four different games that I was convinced was the next game I was working on, and I'd work on it for a little bit and decide I could maybe do something better.

My newest game I started is looking very promising. I'm very excited to do it. But if the patterns of history continue, then I may not be working on it a month from now, so I don't want to start telling people about it.

Is it that RPG-ish thing you alluded to in your blog, where you mentioned you were interested in conversation scripting systems?

JB: Yeah. It's an RPG right now, a 2D RPG that I'm working on. You never know. Next month, it could be a Pac-Man clone or something.

It's still in the early stages of development, so anything can happen at this point. As points out, it could turn into a whole new game by the end of next month.
