It has been a few weeks now since I released 'Old Faithful' and my plan to release a third map hit a lot of bumps along the way. The first attempt was a complete mess, so I took some time out to experiment with a few ideas, and have finally got around to forming them into something release worthy. Delta Bunsen contains 3 linear puzzles, within 2 chambers, inside 1 sphere and features a couple of new things I thought might be fun. I am entering this one into the Summer Mapping Initiative as I am pretty happy with it overall. All feedback is greatly appreciated as always! More information, Installation instructions and Contact details in the readme! Enjoy! (Wonderfully messy .VMF and Instances included)

Testing Element - Turret Dipping

Hey all, this is my first map, and I decided to fix it up until it reached a completable state,so here it is, Turret Dipping! This test chamber is relatively simple and easy to figure out, but that's because it introduces and teaches an innovative testing element- turret dipping! You might ask what that is, so I'll give you the basics: See a white turret? Pick it up. See a black turret? Push it with the white turret. Bring the white turret along with you! You may need to sacrifice a white turret to beat this test! This takes place in present day aperture science, however, it has a unique atmosphere, because Aperture Science is on Emergency Power mode. I liked how the lighting looked, so hopefully adding that unique twist to the atmosphere won't disqualify me. I just remembered to include the custom instances used, so I hope that editing it in to the rar doesn't disqualify me.

Quadrilateral Part 1 [Concept]

This map is a concept of a set of maps that I may work on in the future. It introduces the concept of two pairs of portals. One pair is controlled by the player with the ASHPD, and the other pair is placed by the chamber through the use of portal frames. The player must use the combination of all four portals to achieve each chamber's goal. In this first chamber, the player is equipped with a disabled ASHPD. The test chamber spawns all four necessary portals when the appropriate triggers are activated. Above each frame is a number. This number represents which pair the portal belongs to. The only reason I provide the player with a disabled ASHPD is due to the fact that when Chell holds an object without the device, it looks so unrealistic. ;p Thanks Omnicoder for the Chamber Sign Maker!

A large-sized map divided into two main sections which interconnect. This took a lot of effort to make and tweak. Please comment and rate!

It might not be as pretty as other maps (this is my first map ever in Hammer, after all), but I think it's a nice brain teaser. I hope you have fun playing it! Edit: Fixed a small exploit. Thanks to Ruien for finding it out!

Faith Plate Test Concept

Sorry about double-posting. I have no idea how to delete a previously posted map in another category, or move the previously posted map in a different category. The thumbnail was taken a long time ago. It's really outdated; I got too lazy to get another picture. Video Preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ6dEYGSrWg This is just a simple concept using link_portal_door entities to have multiple chambers be revolving around a simple faith plate in the "main hub" to get to the exit.

A pretty simple test chamber dealing with laserboxes and an excursion funnel. V2 fixes the elevator videos and makes the map end on the elevator. V3 fixes a few things, also expands the chamber, but not the puzzle. http://steamcommunity.com/id/marcem/scr ... tab=public

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!
