SubscribeThe Witness is a game in development, designed and produced by Jonathan Blow, designer of the critically-acclaimed game Braid. There’s a small team working on the game, and over time this blog will introduce you to them and provide a bit more insight into the development process.
Many people have been asking for more details about the game, so I thought it might be nice to kick things off with some concept art… in the next post.
Welcome, and thanks for your time and attention!
-Jonathan.

/ March 2, 2010Is there a feed for comments? (Overall, not just per-post feeds.) I didn’t see one, and I’m too lazy to try guessing the URL.

/ March 2, 2010I don’t see a way to do it right now… but there was one in the Braid blog theme, right? Hopefully I can figure out how to get one in here; it’s on my todo list.

/ March 2, 2010Comments RSS has been added… but I inserted it directly into the comments.php of my Wordpress theme, so it will get blown away if I ever upgrade the theme. Does anyone know how to do this in a more generalized way?

/ March 2, 2010Thanks! Next task is to figure out how to make it keep more than ten comments at a time, or else refresh often enough that it doesn’t miss comments. Or, just post less comment-worthy content.

/ March 2, 2010Apparently it’s a hidden option. I changed it to 100. Does it work?

/ March 11, 2010The prose on the introduction is taken from verse 153/154 spoken by the Buddha at the moment when he became enlightened, is that correct? This wouldn’t have been chosen without a great deal of thought. I expect the game will takes us through a similiar journey.

/ April 19, 2010Hey Jon,
First off, HUGE props on Braid. I cant stop playing it even though i know how to solve all the puzzles. I ordered it on PS3 and Xbox360 because i’m an achievement junkie haha. Anyways, Im excited about The Witness. The screenshots look awesome! How you think of these types of puzzles is beyond me! Keep up the great work.
Bob.
