Braid PC has hidden bonus: a level editor
Jonathan Blow has revealed that message board rumblings of a hidden level editor within the PC version of his award-winning independent title, Braid, are true. Replying to chatter on the Steam forum [Via Destructoid], Blow revealed documentation for the editor would be released following an update to the game (which went live late yesterday) and "when more people have played/finished the game."
In the meantime, initial editor information has been posted by Blow on the official Braid blog to help gamers get started.The Braid PC level editor will allow gamers to extend the life of the puzzle title, with the potential to add "up to [another] full game," Blow wrote. The developer/survivalist also revealed future plans to add image importing from Photoshop into the game, allowing aspiring Braid designers to put their own graphics into their creations.

Yeah, I wonder what the TTP will be on this game now.
Oh, who am I kidding, it's probably already happened. Yay humanity!

I've played a total of 10 minutes of this game and thought it was interesting. I'll wait till Steam has it on sale.

It's 15 dollars, what kind of sale would you need?

I'll see what kinds of mods and new levels get made for it. If some interesting stuff comes out, I could be buying it a second time.

I was trying to figure out if I should buy Braid through Steam or XBL. Guess I just figured it out!
Plus, the developer probably gets a higher cut this way.

Played it for the first time the other day via the PC demo... I have since gotten every puzzle piece available without buying the game. The *only* reason I haven't bought it yet is cause I'm waiting to get my new laptop -the game runs a little choppy on my GF's.

does anyone know if joystiq plan to review this game. If they have, a link would be much appreciated

They have the demo for PC out now (if you didn't already know).

Now I feel like grabbing a copy of the PC game then.
You're alright Blow...I still hate you....but you're alright....

Hell yeah, PC FTW!!!!
We'd better get these extras considering how long it took to port it. : )

I don't think it can be considered hidden if it is mentioned in the readme.txt
But nobody reads those anyway...

"allowing aspiring Braid designers to put their own graphics into their creations."
