It's been over 8 years between releases, and all that time has been spent building a closed source programming language that allegedly speeds up game development.
Very few studios are capable of maintaining their own engine, none are capable of maintaining their own programming language. This is why, as an example, 343 imploded after one of their leads insisted on continuing with the 20 year old non-standard engine Slipspace. If they had their own programming language in addition to that, they never would've released anything.
No, because I already own Braid.
Like how the toughest competition for Windows is not desktop Linux, it's pirated Windows.
It is a bit shocking that they’ve blown through so much cash to develop their own engine/game, but I think they’ll be fine. It’s nearly ready to go, Jonathon is confident sounding enough he’ll be able to raise capital if he needs.
Not to shit on JB, but maybe the difference between Braid and Celeste is that Maddy knows her game doesn't need a remake. (granted, Celeste is only 6 years old, it's not due for a remake or remaster)
Nope. Never heard of it before, and it doesn't look interesting to me.
