Very nice map. I enjoyed the puzzles. Everything in the map worked as designed - well done.
Thanks for creating the map.

Nice first map; I just found a way to beat the whole first part in 30 seconds. I don't think this is intended:

I figured out this trick when I was actually trying to solve the puzzle; so you should add a bit more pointers where you should be going imo. You can also see in this video the doors are kind of slow.

But still a pretty good first map imo.

Edit: Youtube tags added. Sorry msleeper; new on TWP forums(no mapper, so I'll continue on lurking).
Edit2+3: Uploaded the correct video.

Use youtube tags, people!

This was an interesting map. It wasn't really puzzling however, as most of the time I spent playing it was trying to figure out what that button just did, or where I was. Good job anyway. (Better than me.)

Wow, thanks a lot for the video showing me the trick lol. I have never though about trying that, i will rework this part for my portfolio thanks again : )

Here you go corrected the little trick shown by Decimae

I hate to say this, but I didn't really like this map. The puzzles were solid, but everything else left something to be desired.

I can tell you were trying to stick to the original style of portal. However, random bts pipes on the ceiling and mistextured walls and such really lost it for me. Your puzzles were unclear as to what was needed, and the odd texturing threw me off in a few places.

You were missing several important things such as portal bumpers, and your signage was again unclear.

I suggest that you study the original portal levels very closely, and make sure to take a look at the example chamber included in the SDK. That should help straighten out the visual aspect.

lol its ok . Like i said its not only my first portal map it was also my first real hammer work.Now im currently finishing a HL2 mod for school with fellow students and i can say that redoing another map in portal its gonna be a lot more nicely done now that i have l lot ( and i mean a lot) of hours in hammer. Thaks for you comments thats what gonna make me better : )

PS: thanks for the portal bumpers info i didnt even know that existed, lol now i know : )

lol sorry for all the mistake in the post above, its currently the end of the second session and i am quite tired

Portal doesn't like having a dot in the file name; I had to rename it in order to be able to use "map Death_Row_2"
Also, it's far from completely fixed yet:

at this point, the video is still processing

Good puzzles, had fun playing. The same glitches as in Tube Breakout apply here
Also, I noticed that the models were fullbright.
More indicator lights to show what does what, would be appreciated.
