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)
Explosive Cube
WIP for experimental puzzle element; The Explosive Cube. The level included is a simple "tutorial" map, Intended to educate people as to how it works; Basically the cube explodes after a certain amount of time. In this map, It explodes after 15 seconds. The idea with this stemmed from the few "timed" puzzles in coop, In that i felt the idea wasn't really explored enough. The idea of an explosive cube gives rise to a lot of interesting possiblities in coop for puzzles. Haven't really started work on the other explosive box related puzzles yet, I wanted a bit of feedback first One or more textures on this map have been created with images from CGTextures.com. These images may not be redistributed by default. Please visit www.cgtextures.com for more information. UPDATE: In the case of those interested i am still working on this; Been busy with fairly important things recently, I am intending on doing about 4/5 maps using the cube, Possibly more but haven't really had time lately, Here's a quick screen of one of the maps WIP: Few screenshots:
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.
[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."

First of hopefully many challenge maps The scenery is not amazing, but the puzzle mechanics are well polished, imho. Feedback is appreciated

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.
Lost chamber
A WIP testing the ability to bounce off of Hard Light Bridges. May never reach a finished state.
Linked Portal Testing
Right now, it's craziness with linked portal doors. I'm working on making it a co-op test, however. Right now, it works on co-op and single player. ...I'm in SPAAAAAAACE!
