I made this one afternoon when I was really bored. It has lasers and panels and stuff in it. Its not really challenging because, lazy afternoons, right? Let me know what you think, or don't... I don't really care.

Hey iWork!

I was rather short and easy but still enjoyable Everything worked out pretty clean and smooth. Lighting was a bit too dim though to my taste and I think it would look better if you power up the env_projectedtexture in the observation room (if there's one, and that lighting is not a light_spot)... if there isn't one, you might place it to spot the room a little bit more.

Also, did you build cubemaps? I'm saying because the glass on the moving platform looked a bit too matt and dirty (though I'm, not sure what glass material you used in there)...

Cheers!

Nice little map, I see a portal 2 version of the portal 1-portal energy pallet puzzle, nice little moving platforms, fun to play, though crouching in portals with lasers is not one of my favorite elements. Still fun to play though! 4/5 great.

I like the design and the panels of the chamber the most.
Here's my blindrun:

You should bring up the voting menu because it disconnects me after the map.

4/5.
Cheers!

Hey josepezdj!

Regarding lighting, it was a bit finicky towards the end because of a few things; including the size and shape of the chamber, the placement of the obversvation room, the lack of a physical floor, my monitor is LED, and my disinterest in the map.

I did use a projectedtexture, what do you take me for? If I up the juice on it any more it makes the surfaces it touches look wierd.

Also I always build cubemaps! The moving platform is a prop and a not a material. And its surface is probably meant to be a clear plastic not glass given the application. I which case I think it looks pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback.

Ah you noticed. I played P1 again and tried to see if I could port it over without changing too much. Chamber 08 if you're interested. I dont care much for it either. But I couldnt find a work around which looked good.

Thanks for the feedback. Subbed to your channel.

Its length and difficulty was explained in the description. And personally Im pretty sick of mindfuck levels. After playing one I find the P2 campaign much more fun because you can actually figure out what to do instead of having to stand in the chamber and reverse engineer it.

I love panels. The fingers of glados. and they add so much life to a chamber. Thanks for the video. Yeah the voting thing doesnt work. Might warrent and update.
