Portal 2
Aperture Science Excursion Funnel
Aperture Science Test. Now with Excoursion Funnels
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.
Co-op - Lazer Maze.
Co-op map set in an old aperture testing sphere. This map contains Lasers, Refractor cubes and Buttons.

A small, challenging map. Thanks to grayarea for playtesting Workshop link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =235438315 The Wheatley dialog mish-mash was inspired by CoolDudeClem's Crazy Chambers: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =194726504
PTI element: Living panels, 64x64 and 128x128
Wacky panels that do stuff. 64x64 and 128x128 sizes are provided. Inputs: * Start deployed -- Inverts the direction of the panel's animation. * Timer & Autodrop & Start Open -- Choose which animation to play, see below. * Button type -- See below Button types (64x64 panel): * Weighted = White or black panel surface, depending on whether it's positioned on a portalable surface or not. * Cube = Glass surface. * Sphere = Intangible skeleton: Just the skeleton of the panel, without surface, also does not clip the player. Button types (128x128 panel): * Weighted = White or black panel surface, depending on whether it's positioned on a portalable surface or not. * Cube = Glass surface. * Sphere = Portal 1 style metal wall surface. Use signal inputs / connections to activate the element. The panels contain a built-in AND gate just like the standard elements do. Of course you don't need to activate the element at all. Just affix it in a particular pose to provide a platform of your choice. There are 68 different animations provided. The animation is selected using the Timer value, the Start Open checkbox and the Autodrop checkbox. The list of animations is detailed in the README file provided in the distribution package. It is rather difficult to try to video-document all the animations that this object can play, but here's a sample picture which should serve to at least pique some curiosity. Unless you choose the "skeleton" type of panel, this panel is fully blocking and can be even used as a lift / piston platform for objects and for the player. The arm of the panel is only partially tangible, and only in some animations. It is a bit difficult to generalise for the set of animations present here, so the tangibility is disabled for most animations where the heuristic method does not work nicely. The object also does not contain a crush kill trigger, a portal fizzler, an object fizzler, nor a portal bumper. This is intentional. But it may lack other things that are wise to have (hint brushes? shrug), because I just began learning to use Hammer a few days ago, and I wouldn't yet know anything about those. Note: These panels have the "adjustment gizmo" which allows them to be placed at an offset much like the laser components -- except that it does not work. Sorry about that! Just use always the center position. If anyone has good ideas of how to fix it, it would be welcome. (This comes from the 5 positions method. The 8 positions method does not work, because the embedding pit would not be relocated correctly together with the element.) However, you can use the adjustment gizmo to rotate the element around. Just point it towards some edge of the voxel, and then place it back to the center. The object will retain the new orientation. Note: The platform may move within the first second when the map loads. Sorry about that. This may be fixed in a future version. The panel contains from 21 to 25 entities depending on version. The skeleton version has the fewest entities, and the large non-glass ones have the most. And finally, the in-editor symbols for this object are currently the laser emitter for the small panel, and the piston top for the large panel. I have not yet developed the skills to change the in-editor graphics. Download here: http://bisqwit.iki.fi/kala/ptal2/livingpanels.zip
sp_stickycubes
This is a short puzzle designed as my first map in the Source engine. I did a lot of experimenting with this and the learning process has been incredibly fun. Stickycubes utilizes gel and excursion funnels, it is also mapped around the "clean" theme as described by the Portal 2 mapping wiki. All feedback is welcome. SCREENSHOTS: http://www.jimo.co.uk/maps/portal2/sp_s ... bes001.jpg http://www.jimo.co.uk/maps/portal2/sp_s ... bes002.jpg http://www.jimo.co.uk/maps/portal2/sp_s ... bes003.jpg KNOWN BUGS: - The sign says "00". I am going to wait for the VPK system to be fixed so I can implement this properly. - Sometimes one of the cubes can get stuck in the spawner if the excursion beam is right underneath it. CHANGELOG: Version 1.1: Added indicator lights for the gel. Version 1.2: Corrected turret placements to prevent them from getting stuck.
Climbing_Companion_v1c
A somewhat challenging climb with essentially just an excursion funnel and a cube. (Quick feedback on initial release let a lot of exploit prevention happen for the second release, v1c. Thanks guys!)
CoopCrowd race .:Orange Vs Blue:.
small coop map. Orange and Blue have to battle, the puzzles are obvious but can take some time. special mad for the youtube channel coopcrowd SECOND TIME I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH HAMMER SO DON'T EXPECT FANTASTIC MAPPING.
Laws of physics ... they still apply.
True story. My contribution to the contest. UPDATED : bug fix.
Released
This is the first map i have worked on, for portal, that has got near release status. It was designed to see how first time players can handle all of the tools at once. Note that "Released" Is the name of the map, but may not stay this way.
