Creator of Braid Contemplates Commitment to RPG
Jonathan Blow talked to Gamasutra about what is next in his agenda after the release of his wildly popular Xbox Live Arcade game, Braid. He talked about an updated version of Braid and a possible port to the PC. More importantly he hinted at wanting to create a 2D RPG, but also leaves a back door by saying, “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.”

He also loosely described the game, though leaves wiggle room, “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.”
