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.

My first ever portal 2 map, it's a short co-op map set in the destroyed aperture science testing area. It's still a work in progress and some textures might not be aligned right, and some light might be iffy, but I have tried to not make it look like crap, so I hope it's alright. I think the puzzle is about medium difficulty, hopefully it won't be too hard, or too easy. I would really like feedback about the map, as it will help me become a better mapper. v 2.0 changes A new puzzle added to increase difficulty and length Screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... 800891170/? http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... 800892348/? http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... 800891821/? v 2.0 http://steamcommunity.com/id/sniperHead ... tab=public

This is just the map I used to test and create prefabs. I included the source of the map if you want to see how I did anything. I know a lot of people have made test maps but I did a few things in this one that I havent seen before so I thought I would upload it. This is my first map so sorry if you think it is not up to par. Drop me an email at [email protected] if you have any suggestions.
