Portal 2
Quark
Hello, World! This is my first public release ever, however i've been mapping for a while This is a collection of maps that I started working on the day after I beat Portal 2 There are six tests, four of them are strung together, and two are... different. Hope you enjoy this! Please leave any comments, just be sure to tell me why you did/didn't like it. Thanks!
first_map by Killerblonde
This is the first map I've made for portal 2, (but not the first map in hammer by a long shot.) I'm still pretty amature, so be kind! I used my own style of recessed lighting instead of that featured in the game. I think it looks nice. Anyhow, this map is short but fun; shouldn't take you more than 5-10 minutes. Have fun!
First Try
Hard Co-op map (v1.0). This should be the final version of the map unless any bugs crop up. Hard map focusing on lasers and lightbridges. Walkthrough up at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To3aRCAHIEw (Sadly not 1080p since I clicked half-size by mistake in fraps). Hint for first part: [spoiler]You only need to hit with the laser momentarily.[/spoiler] Hint for the second part: [spoiler]The person on the lower side needs to get to the exit first.[/spoiler]
Portal Practice
This my first map for Portal 2. Don't expect something very long or difficult, it was just me getting the hang of things. Judging from playtesters the difficulty is borderline easy/medium so I went with medium. Have fun and remember to give feedback here in this thread! I have to thank Omnicoder,Reepblue, and P0rtal2player for thier help and support. This has been out for awhile but I forgot to upload to ThinkingWithPortals. Sorry for the delay!
The fire of Epimetheus Co-op
This is my second release! This time I was going for a more atmospheric map and yet retain the same puzzle feeling that was found in halls. There are a total of three puzzles in the map, and the last one includes a new portal mechanic. I would say that the map is quite challenging, but should not be impossible, and is able to be solved using critical thinking. NOTE: IN ORDER TO PLAY THE LEVEL CORRECTLY MAKE SURE YOU TYPE THIS INTO THE CONSOLE: sv_cheats 1 allow_mobile_portals 1 V 1.1 fixed minor bug at beginning added frames for all glass panes optimized turret level scaled down brutality and frustration of the turret level made the solution to the turret level a tiny bit easier to see. spoiler for the second puzzle is in the zip(use only if needed) screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/HMhti.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tBVHt.jpg
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.
Animal King - WIP
A work-in-progress Animal King model adapted from a stock turret. It's partially animated, but doesn't quite work as a normal Portal 2 turret yet. Looks great as a static model though. This model works in both Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2.
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
Firing Range
An easy 2 chamber map involving light bridges, bounce gel, funnels and turrets. First map for portal 2.
Box Puzzle
This is my first Portal map, any tips and criticism would be appreciated.
