the test

a little puzzle i made

Panelized

It's all about the panels. My first map! Yay! Not sure If I'll try to make more, but the process was quite fun. Even though now it appears to be quite lame v1.1: Added a bunch of autosave points, extended funnel reverse time, added a ticker. The map is still pretty simple though! v1.2: Blocked mr Xdiesp's solution (I hope!) v1.3: Continuity fix. v1.4: More blockage, mr Tyronis3 found an updated way around. v1.5: More freedom, map now can have multiple solutions! v1.6: Minor tweaks and a new version number!

Shootout

I'm working on a Wheatley map with 3-4 chambers, and I just want this first one to go through a playability test. Please mention ANY comments/suggestions/concerns that might help improve the map. I want this good and ready when it's released.

This is my first map for any game, could use some tips on how to make it better. Also does anyone know how to bring down the size of my screenshot so i can upload it? Thank You.

Automatic Bowling Machine

This is not a puzzle! This is a co-op map. All right this is my first map. I know there are lot of Bowling map but this one is having some differences. 1. Bowling Ball come back Automatically. 2. Pins(turret) set automatically with just a button. (There are totally 4 types of pins permutation) 3. Automatic pins cleaning with a button. Enjoy Bowling with your friend! P.S. And a little surprise when you enter the Bowling field.(with a button) P.S. Sorry for bad English *I don't know this is or isn't a "playground" map but I just try to upload it. If this map is not allow to upload, please remove it and I apologize.

Currently Untitled

Currently Untitled, a map in the old decaying aperture style, with the following features: * overgrowth! and water! * laser-burning-turret madness. * cubes, a sphere, a funnel, and a light-bridge. * HDR lighting * Relaxation vault for when it all gets a bit much. See here for screenshots: http://steamcommunity.com/id/RufusThorne/screenshots/ I'm looking for some help with optimisation: The map is fully sealed, but suffers some jerkiness. Please take a look at the included VMF and let me know if there's anything I can do in terms of HINT brush placement, etc. Also any things that need changing. Item placement, number of cubes, etc. I'm also looking for fellow mappers to 'dirty up' the environment. Suggestions for fog, particle effects, etc as well as some basic help on these topics would be appreciated. Thank you

[SP] Aperture Salience

Salience - pertaining to Sa-li-ent: Adjective - Prominent or Conspicuous. Why is this map prominent? Because it's my first! (No don't run away!) This map features not just cubes, buttons, fizzlers and funnels in GLaDOS's Clean environment, but most importantly:- You can only fire one portal. Yes, in a style that is reminiscent (read: stolen) from the Blue Portals mod from old, but it brings some light and enlightenment into a completely unused aspect of portal puzzling. This map is 99% bug-free and I spent my whole summer holidays bringing life to it, so I know that I put the effort into it. But don't take my word for it, listen to these testimonies from past test subjects: "{REDACTED}" - Chell "My arm got bitten off by Mantis Men halfway-through. Would not test again." - Josh Ovencan - RubbishyUsername CEO of Rat Puree Laboratories Known minor bugs: Sometimes the elevator will not move at the start. Reload the map or noclip out to fix. Updates: V1.1 - Made an unintended solution harder, added portal emitter lights, and a couple of other minor changes.
