Portal 2
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.

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
[SP] Old Faithful
This is the second map in a series that began with 'Sphere of Roundness' last week. Version 2.0 of that map is also included in this release, they also transition into each other to make a loop. This time I decided to focus on a single gameplay element for an entire map rather than trying to use every feature available. The map also follows the loose premise of "What if aperture had tested faith plates in the 1950s?" the default faith plate model stands out a little in the underground, so I went for an alternate appearance, see what you think! I have a feeling it is a little easy, but that is mainly down to the overall design, so my next map will aim to be a bit tougher. Sphere of Roundness: I got a huge amount of good feedback for the first map and made a few changes to fix exploits and also clean up the edges a little now that the full SDK has been released.
