This was my first ever portal(2) map, now updated with some changes and fixes, like making the idea of gel more clear, and adding lights. If you played 0.75 this is pretty much the same but better looking
oh and i moved the paint but kept the same idea in use

it is quite fun to play! and i think it's also a bit a challenge - took me a while until i found out that 1) there is a second room 2) i can enter it with a portal. After that it also took me a little to recognize where to put the portal for the blue liquid (of course that was not that big of a deal anymore). And the last jump from one side of the room to the other was fun as well - all in all, i liked it! plz more and/or extensions

Thx for your comment
Currently workin on neater version (and a fittin name wouldnt hurt either)

Edit; also thx @ WinstonSmith

Suicidal, just FYI, if you ever go and edit your download's description, it is going to auto-edit the first post of this thread with any changes you make. I see you manually edited the post, so you might want to put any of that info the the actual download description.

Aah... Tried it a couple of hours ago and couldn't figure it out. One of those maps where you almost pull your hair out
Now that I read that there is a second room... It all makes sense. Was quite a fun map. You just need to change the grid into the second room to some glass or something more obvious

Right, thanks for the headsup

Hmm, i might add some decals or something to make it more clear, thanks for the idea!

If the purpose of the grid is to portal through, then thats the best way, not the glass

Good point
What I'm saying is just that I think it should be a bit more obvious. I didn't notice the other room because it looked like the kind of grid that covers pipes and what not

So, hey there.

Thanks for sharing your testmap.

I tried it, and I like it.
You will have to add some more challenge, but it is already a nice map.

Just make it longer. More rooms, more puzzles.

Thanks for all the nice replys ppl

Shameless bump for 1.0

Also, for the ones that followed the thread, i did at one point have a second testchamber where you were supposed to get gel, and then after the first complete that second chamber, but it just didnt work, the 2nd chamber was also way harder.

Time to start new maps no wait, writing/drawing them out first

Edit: btw did any1 else notice none of the clip tool textures work? i couldnt close the area below the gel dispenser.. you can get out with the light tunnel tho (as with the other pit)
