The Wall Street Journal have been speaking to Braid designer Jonathan Blow, and are reporting that the Xbox Live Arcade title cost the indie developer 180,000 USD of his own money.

The game is available for download now for 1,200 Microsoft Points, and critics are hailing Braid as one of the best Arcade releases ever.

Despite Blow having gambled large quantities of his own money on the time-twisting platform game, the title has already sold in excess of 30,000 copies - making it likely the game will make a tidy profit in the end.

We'll be speaking to Jonathan Blow soon.

    I thought I read somewhere that this has already done 850k dollars of revenue whether or not that is Blow's cut or total sales I don't know. Also I cant find article that said this for toffee.
