Braid creator Jonathan Blow is looking for a concept artist and a lead artist for an unannounced game. According to the official Braid blog, this new title is a “puzzle-exploration game that is philosophical and quiet” and not being created for big money, although we're fairly certain Blow will be showered with it once it releases considering how awesome Braid was.
In the blurb about the lead artist position, it’s mentioned that the game will have a “heavy emphasis on the way things look,” which we'll take to mean that the game won’t be driven by violence. A point the job listing backs up by a caveat: Blow doesn’t want to see portfolio full of monsters or battle rifles.
We guessing this new thing won’t be Gears of War 3. Bummer.
[Thanks, Benoit!]

Regardless, I'm looking forward to whatever this game may be.
Looking forward to this game, although it probably won't be out for years.
GO GO GO, JO BLO!
i agree. i met mr. blow at MIGS last fall, and he is intelligent, but incredibly conceited and self serving. it's one thing to have groundbreaking ideas, but it's another altogether labeling your own ideas as groundbreaking.
and yes, he really does like to talk about how much he doesn't care about money. which means he really does. he's an incredibly frustrating person.
too bad i like braid so much...
Can't wait for MW2!
