Portal 2
Bridges to a New Tomorrow
Four test chambers focused on hard light bridges and the different ways they can be used. I currently have all four test chambers playable and detailed, so the map is more or less done! Thanks to all of you who helped. Go download version 08 now and enjoy 20-30 minutes of fun portalling. Enjoy!

The Test
A two-room map featuring a few different puzzle elements. This is, essentially version 0.3. I want to add more decorations, but I'm looking for feedback on what I've got so far. I intend to add more puzzle elements to the second puzzle room. I just wanted to get this out there to see if people think I'm on the right track. I've included both the bsp and the vmf. [Edit] I had used a hacked version of the arrival_departure_transition_ents which might have caused some problems. I've switched over to msleeper's version, which works much better, and is available here: Good Enough For Science (Instance Example + VMF) Added a few more puzzle elements, and switched to animerunt's transitions instance: arrival_departure_transition_ents O
Xackbox-Demolevel
A small, but fun chamber made for the contest.
Testing the Tests
The new release for this map
Engineer
Engineer - A map designed to make you think. Portal 2 is, at its heart, a puzzle game. Graphics; story; environment -- all of these are good but secondary. I finished the masterpiece of Portal 2 but was left wanting more: a deeper puzzle, with intrigue and interlocking chambers, that required strategy, intuition, and ingenuity. I want to be challeged so that I am rewarded with a well-earned feeling of victory. Combining logic with creativity is the quintessential essence of what Portal 2 maps should be all about, and in Engineer I believe I have recaptured that ideal. It is my hope that upon completion, Engineer will stand out in your mind as unique, and that the fundamental puzzle design it presents is carried forth by the many others far more skilled in map-building than I. Notes: - It is possible to do things that make the puzzle unsolvable. However, I have added many "safety exits" (as fizzlers) which reduces this. You never need to pass through a fizzler to solve this puzzle - they are intended for emergency use. - Engineer is not a tedious map. There are many solutions, but none are trivial, and if you find yourself repeating anything over and over again, it is not the correct solution. Just take a step back, and ponder the tools you have been given. - Solution has been provided as a demo file, included. See Readme.txt for instructions.
Laws of physics ... they still apply.
True story. My contribution to the contest. UPDATED : bug fix.
Destruction
Sequel to my first map, "Interruption", which follows on from the events in that level. This puzzle is much harder - well, atleast I think so. It also includes some more cinematic scenes, on a bit larger scale than those in the first one... (If the excursion funnel doesn't appear make sure you look around properly, but I'd be surprised if anyone missed it) There is a bit of a lighting glitch that occurs near the second-floor glass. I tried for ages to fix it but it refused; it's pretty minor though. Updated to fix two exploits. Updated to replace a texture that you may not have.
Excursion Immersion
A map that makes good use of the Excursion Funnel in Portal 2, not to mention a little surprise that you have to figure out on your own.
First Map
This is a map with two puzzles branching from a central hub room. Currently the first puzzle is functionally complete. The second puzzle is under construction.
