sp_companion
I wanted to try to make a mini story where you need to get your beloved companion cube. I need to change a lot of things and add sound effects, more lighting and animations also need to change some of the textures and decals. I tried to have some dirty aperture as well as clean aperture and I need to add game text. It is not a hard map but hopefully people enjoy it anyway
Bottomless Endeavor
First attempt at mapping anything but generic boxxes. Very much a work in progress, but im interested to see what (if any) feedback I get.
sp_hard_one
My first singleplayer map for Portal2 (I've mapped CSS before). The lower room is alredy complete. I will complete the upper one. Can you solve this puzzle? I think it's pretty hard. How long did it take until you did it? It's possible without using glitches. Or did you solve it in a other way than I? Walkthrough v0.85b: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhL-CtWlmmM
Zhan's Hard Light Bridge chambers
A Portal 2 work in progress single player test chamber focusing on hard light bridges and the different ways they can be used. I currently have four test chambers done, and my current plan is to make sure these four are fun and play well, and then detail them and clean them up for submission to the Summer Mapping Initiative contest. Enjoy! A zip download is here, if you can't open .7z files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18787920/portal ... _chmb1.zip
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."

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.
Lost chamber
A WIP testing the ability to bounce off of Hard Light Bridges. May never reach a finished state.
Co-op: Gel Escape
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
