David KassinHOST
As a result, Super Meat Boy kind of settled almost immediately into a very specific place in gaming history.
David KassinHOST
Spoken of in the same breath as some of the other games that was in the movie like Braid and Fez.
David KassinHOST
These were the defining case studies of the early 2010s indie boom.
David KassinHOST
They are three different games that each in their own very different way proved that a tiny team with almost no money could still make something that the whole industry would end up talking about.
Scott ClarkHOST
You guys are familiar with Jonathan Blow.
Scott ClarkHOST
He did games like Braid and The Witness.
Scott ClarkHOST
So he's a very well-known... puzzle game maker and this one is interesting in that i feel like you were never doing the same thing for very long this game is very good about keeping the puzzles fresh and exciting uh and never never hitting you over the head with one mechanic for too long because there's multiple different characters each of them having their own different abilities you know one one character deals with mirrors and things like that there's there's the you know And the game is also very smartly done in that it allows you to choose your path.
Scott ClarkHOST
You can actually go in any order that you want to.
Mike SteeleHOST

TimHOST
Well, there's this other game that came out from Jonathan Blow, the creator of The Witness and what was the other big game? Braid, I think.
TimHOST
Braid? Yeah.
TimHOST
This game is called Order of the Sinking Star.
TimHOST
And kind of fitting with his other games that I just mentioned, Braid and The Witness, it is a puzzle game.
TimHOST
And it puts you into these scenarios that cause you to... like hurt your head trying to think about how to move things around to get from essentially what you're trying to do is usually get from point A to point B. That's usually what you're trying to do.
TimHOST
Some of the puzzles are a little different, but for the most part you're trying to get, like in this case, you're just trying to get to this little platform.
Tom SnivelyHOST
a breed
Tim ShielGUEST
Yes, Braid.
Tim ShielGUEST
Of course it's Braid.
Tim ShielGUEST
Braid Bastion.
Tim ShielGUEST
I mean, I was really, I was curious about that idea, whether we could do something like that.
Tim ShielGUEST
But it was just sort of one too many technological hurdles to jump.
Dan RyckertSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yes.

The blow job.
FrankHOST
The Order of the Sinking Star, who is a very notorious game developer, made Braid, The Witness, and was in Indie Game the Movie.
FrankHOST
created their own programming language, which I think they used to write the engine and code for Order of the Sinking Star.
FrankHOST
Is that
15 MINS LATER
AndrewHOST
I'm also not paying attention to the story I don't even listen to anything the characters say I'm just in it for the puzzles maybe it'll have some big reveal later on and I'll miss the big reason for it but right now I'm just really enjoying the puzzles
SeanHOST
Yeah, like, I'm hoping that stuff does add up to something.
SeanHOST
But I kind of have a memory of Braid being a little bit pretentious with some of its story stuff, too.
SeanHOST
So I'm like, okay, I don't know, maybe this is just his style.
