Portal 2
Rookie Mistake
07/15/2012 Update: Whoa. So apparently, after all this time, instead of uploading "V2" of the map, I had just re-uploaded the V1 map again! Talk about rookie mistakes! I've just tried to upload the latest version (from Feb) again. Hopefully I got it right this time. Who knows... -------- As much fun as I had creating this map, and as great as I personally think it is, I have to admit that it's full of all kinds of "rookie mistakes"--things I'm sure many people do with their first Portal 2 maps that others look at and think, "Ha, newbie." With that in mind, here are some other names I was inclined to give to this map: - "Inigo Montoya" - "Look! BUTTONS!" - "All that, and LASERS to boot!" - "Convolution: Occam's Nightmare" - "Nice gel dispensers. [Sarcasm self-check: Complete]". - "Two test chambers taped together to look like one giant test chamber". The first one is a bit random and has nothing to do with the map itself. It's just the code name I gave to my map during creation: Chamber Inigo and Chamber Montoya. Hence the file name. Enjoy. -------- Three months later (!), I'm uploading a second version of the map, in which I try to address some of the rookie mistakes I made in version 1: * Chamber Inigo (First Chamber): Added extra machinery to try to prevent unwanted solutions. * Chamber Montoya (Second Chamber): Added extra machinery to try to prevent unwanted solutions. Also, I tweaked the expected solution in a couple of notable ways, after being inspired by Djinndrache's playthrough. * Overall: Improved the texturing based on the basic rules of texturing mentioned in posts. It's still far from perfect, but things look a lot better than they did before (I think?). For those who have not played the map yet, be sure to grab this latest version. For those who have already played, I think the look and feel of the map has changed enough that it's worth another playthrough. Especially if you solved the maps in unwanted ways the first time (that means you, Djinndrache Posted playthroughs, whether blind runs or speed runs or hey-look-another-rookie-bug runs, are much appreciated.

Gel converter device
Heyho, I made a gel converter for you. The concept of the gel converter is to convert a gel into another gel. For example: Convert bounce gel to portal gel. You may change some settings for your own implementation. This map contains: ? gel converter device ? rotating device ? binary switch for two colors How to install: Just export the .vmf to /../Portal 2/sdk_content/maps and open with the hammer editor.

[COOP] Faith Bridge
I started with the goal of making a short, self-contained but complex map. I ended up with this. Probably in the medium difficulty range. Contains faith plates, light-bridge, buttons, panels, and cooperation! It doesn't require any difficult maneuvers, just good old logic and coordinating together. As this is my first released project, any and all constructive criticism and comments will be appreciated. As such, it is still a work in progress. I still need to work on better lighting and details, and I can add some angle helpers if they are needed. Let me know if my texture choices are too unorthodox (or if they just look bad) and I will change them. Thanks for playing!

Portal 2 Coop map (1 puzzle) jfleduc.com
Release: mp_coop_Watson1
This is a difficult map. It might be hard to know what to do at first. Just make sure your looking around the map and finding where to place the portals. This definitely does not look pretty, it's 'CSS looking', but you do think in this map! NOTE: You can also play this and beat this in Single Player. It's hard!!
