Portal 2 (Work in progress)
Early builds, betas, and in-development Portal 2 map projects.
Ascendence
This is my first real mapping attempt, but it's a pretty ambitious project. Version history will explain what I'm demonstrating and what I'm looking for, as far as feedback and such go. v 1_1, uploaded 5-20-11 This is the entrance (which I know is lame and cheap, haven't worried myself over instances and elevators yet), the test situation introduction, and a way of clearing the chamber between "player delivery" and testing. There is no puzzle here yet, nor will there be until v 1_2 or 1_3. What I'm mostly showcasing is the trap door and the glass removal process. I'm looking for feedback on the entire process. Again, I know there's no puzzle here. It's just a big pit. That's why it's here in the WIP section. v1_1_3, uploaded 5-25-2011 Moderate change from last version, adding another element to the simple puzzle leading to the exit. See latest forum post for details.
Time Travel
Basically a concept map. This is the introduction chamber, released as a seperate map because it's far too large to add an extra chamber to it. Theres no puzzle Per say, but the next map will feature some. As i said this is the introduction on how to use TT to get to the goal. Basically the premise is to travel to and from the future to solve various puzzles. It's abit ambitious for a amatuer like me but hopefully it'll turn out good Graphic bugs - No draw texture in one place (Not a problem really) and odd lighting on one set of debris. These probably won't be fixed as compiling this map takes a decade on my PC
[Mini Game] Tennis
Preface [spoiler]This is my first map for anything in quite a long time. Please give me any feedback and constructive criticism you can think of. I'll likely add a bit more personality to it as it gets refined, but for now this is only meant to be a working concept. I'm hoping this is working as intended, playable, and hopefully a bit of fun too![/spoiler] Get ready for a rousing game of Portal Tennis! Well... its more akin to volleyball, but I really... don't give a damn. The object of this game is to make the Edgeless Safety Cube fall to your opponents floor. Press the button to serve, and use the panels on the back wall to fling the safety cube! You have 10 different panels to aim with. The bottom ones fling short, and the top ones fling long. Play to whatever arbitrary point value you see fit, or claim "next point wins!" when you are feeling lucky. "Please keep in mind that the back wall panels are equipped with state-of-the-art "Cube Accelerators" that our lab boys thought up just the other day. Remember: Do not, under any circumstances, stand in the way of a cube while it passes through an Accelerator. You will be maimed. We will laugh."

Simple 1 room map I'm working on. The room isn't the prettiest looking, but it'll do. There are some interesting elements to work out, different than the normal gameplay. Version 0.21 - added autosave Version 0.2 - shortened the size of the room - removed ability to bounce into laser - changed adding bounce gel to get to button - changed location of laser catcher - added new panel after laser catcher is activated - changed end location - made fade to black, and disconnect after you reach the end (unzip to vpk)
