Map Editor, Photoshop Tool Coming To Braid
Erik J writes "Braid creator Jonathon Blow has revealed that a map editor and image tool will be added to the popular puzzle game. First, though, Braid will receive a patch to fix some issues players have reported. Blow explains: 'After I get a new version out in a few days that fixes the problems some people are having, and when more people have played/finished the game, I am going to post some documentation for the editor. 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.' It is unclear if these capabilities are coming only to PC or to the Xbox 360 version as well."
Considering that the long-awaited PC version was just released a few days ago and people who didn't have access to XBox Live are just starting to play it, this game isn't exactly old news to some people even though it may be to you.
Even though this has been answered a few times in the comments, Braid really is a game worth playing. The puzzles are genuinely intelligent and nearly all of them have an 'ah' moment when you suddenly get it. You can skip levels and come back for them later, once you've got a better grip on some of the mechanics. And the storyline is engrossing if you're the thinking type. Its not a long game, I think I completed the entire thing in a 5-6 hours session, but its not a game I'll forget anytime soon.
