This game came out on 360 and it changed me. I was in college at the time so pretentious convoluted endings were totally my thing but I remember just the soundtrack being so good and realizing that I missed the way that 2d platformer games played and seeing them on a higher resolution super super pretty And I just wanted more. thankfully, after this game more, Indy started to pop up and it was a really exciting time. Of course the switch came out and now I have no money. Lol

They were working on Braid: Anniversary Edition, a new programming language, a massive Sokoban game and another secret unannounced game all at the same time I don't think they have the resources to also port the witness at the same time, maybe if braid does well...

I played the opening theme of this game, Downstream at my wedding, both when my bride was entering the room and when signing. Everyone praised how fitting the track felt, and to this day it remains my little private joke that I managed to play a videogame song in such occasion.

@@LosManexStudio666 my dude, jonathan blow is a vocal antivax and covid-19 conspiracist. he posts on twitter that women are not suited for complex tasks like programming, and has gone on record as saying that most of the current (gaming) software is of a low quality. nothing about his reputation is over exaggerated, if anything - under. I'd venture to guess that at least 10% of the fan base plays with blinders on, alongside an active "separate the art from the artist" mentality.

By the way I've bought Demon Turf: Neon Splash 3D Platformer on the Nintendo Switch only as a 3,50€ under a 4€, would you make a video Demon Turf: Neon Splas on the Nintendo Switch is it worth it? 😮😊

This number can be confusing. I 100% the Anniversary Edition and there is 16 new puzzle-worlds (similar to original game). Other 24 levels are levels releated to commentary. They also include some kinda-puzzles you need to solve to actually unlock some of those 16 puzzles, and it was pretty fun exploring them, but yea, its not like levels in original Braird.

@@jamesrule1338 ​ I've study computer science. In my class there were 80 people. 6 of them were female. None of the females ended up as programmer. I've been in industry more than a decade. I think less than 10% of my colleagues were females. And very few of them actually coming from computer science background. For example this year we hired some grads. All of them are female. None of them are from computer science background. So yeah. Woman has less interest in technology than men. Instead of upsetting about this people should look how to make technology to appealing to young girls. Read his tweets. Looks like once again people took the stuff he said out of context and cancelled a person for no good reason. I really hate this cancel culture. You cannot make high level intellectual converstation without being cancelled.

It’s funny how Jonathan Blow causes such an insecure reaction with people.

The real thing to criticize about him is that he has some bad political opinions and likes Elon Musk.

Blow was insufferable when the game initially came out and now he's had many years to build up his legend in his own mind. A commentary track where people get to listen to his thoughts as a selling point sure is a choice. I knew that dude was awful the first time I read about the "true" ending.
