Forsaken Chambers
Some of you may remember this map's ancestor, brainbender01, from long ago. Well, it's been awhile and I've come back to this mapmaking thing, so here is the first map in a series I am working on: The Forsaken Chambers. Heed my warning that these puzzles will be HARD, then take solace in the fact that the execution of the solutions will not be hard, (no cube-tossing, strafe-jumping, etc.) just figuring them out will be. Then, go ahead and try this one on for size. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! -- v1.1 Update -- See thread for details -- v1.2 Update -- Map #2 is uploaded! Also I recommend replaying map #1 even if you beat v1.1 already. It has received a makeover that explains the scenery in map #2 more transitionally. Extra notes in the thread. -- v1.3 Update -- Bug fixes, mentioned in thread. This will be the last [WIP] submission for this map series: Next installment is going to [SP] baby! --v1.4 Update-- Moved to [SP]: Forsaken Chambers Easter Egg has been added to map 002. More content is now in the works
Kvalheim's Singleplayer: 01
My first real attempt at a Portal 2 map, created in about a day. Not filing as "released" yet, as there are still lighting issues and GLaDOS speech needs to be added. But for the amount of time I put into it, I think it's turning out pretty well, and would love to hear feedback.
Reversion
This map is now in the released section.
Forbidden Tests
These three tests were forbidden by Aperture's supervisors because the testing elements they included were too lethal. And yes, another way of testing is now possible. Warning: The map, first of mine, is far from release. Some bugs are to be fixed, some things are to be changed, some new tests are to be added. Plus, you'll need Unused Signage, fixed paint_speed sign and Working Energy Balls + Clean models + Instances for correct display of icons and energy balls. Screenshots: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23 ... ests2.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/8/ ... 0005c.jpg/ Version 0.9: Another way added. Many bugs fixed. Version 0.8: Fixed some bugs; indicator panels and signs added. Version 0.7: Fixed bugs; indicator panels added in the 3rd room.
The Test
A two-room map featuring a few different puzzle elements. This is, essentially version 0.3. I want to add more decorations, but I'm looking for feedback on what I've got so far. I intend to add more puzzle elements to the second puzzle room. I just wanted to get this out there to see if people think I'm on the right track. I've included both the bsp and the vmf. [Edit] I had used a hacked version of the arrival_departure_transition_ents which might have caused some problems. I've switched over to msleeper's version, which works much better, and is available here: Good Enough For Science (Instance Example + VMF) Added a few more puzzle elements, and switched to animerunt's transitions instance: arrival_departure_transition_ents O
Cube Dance
These test require you to throw the cube around. I haven't bothered to figure out elevators yet. The test goes through three rooms and then begins repeating itself. Let me know what you think. I'm pretty satisfied with it, but to be honest, I'm pretty new and have no idea what I'm doing.
Engineer
A map designed to make you think. This is not a series of chambers, but a large interconnected puzzle that requires exploration and problem-solving. It's meant to be solved over time and not intended to be burned through in one sitting. The most important thing to focus on is that the intended solution is not tedious. While the map does have several solutions, some are more tedious than others, and if you find yourself repeating a multiple times to "get it right" (or are becoming frustrated), then most likely it'll be best to take a step back and reconsider the strategy. A walkthrough for version 1.1.1 is available here (best to view if stuck or to compare with your solution): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBUwK4-qfLc Notes: - It is possible to do things that make the puzzle unsolvable. Usually you will realize problem relatively quickly. Autosaves are placed in such a way as to help minimize getting stuck. - Both .bsp and .vmf are included in all versions. Want to see how I made the enable/disable/reverse tractor beam? Go right ahead. Changelog: v. 1.3.2 - Added elevators & pit lasers. v. 1.3.1 - Many cosmetic and convenience additions. v. 1.3.0 - Changed the puzzle a little. Fizzlers now work as normal, fizzling boxes too! Added about 2 or 3 additional non-trivial solutions. Added some lighting. Added some small changes to increase intuitiveness. Cleaned up many extraneous entities. Lots of small bug fixes. v. 1.2.1 - Added textures to make it prettier. v. 1.2.0 - Reduced need to resolve elements. Fixed solutions broken in 1.1.2. Added autosaves. Added additional non-trivial solutions. v. 1.1.2 - Pits now kill the player. Added lighting to make traps more obvious. Finished all indicators. v. 1.1.1 - Aesthetic changes to increase map intuitiveness. v. 1.1.0 - Fixed several exploits. Fixed ending room. v. 1.0.0 - Initial release.
