Hello

I'm HeroofDarkness. Hero for short. I was invited to your steam group by a friend (idk if he is on the forums) RohanRider.

Portal History:

Beat Portal in 3 hours
Prelude in 3 weeks
Second time on prelude 3 days

I'm always looking for a good challenge when it comes to portal. I've already beaten two of your fan maps and I love the challenge put forth in them. I unfortunately fail at programming much beyond a calculator program that will do my hw for me so I probably won't be putting up any maps. But with the challenge I've seen in the first two this shall be a fun ride.

Have you tried "Try anything twice"? That one is mind tinglingly hard. (Took me longer to beat than the first time I finished portal!)

Hi, I'm VoEC.

I'm mostly a mapper (Hammer-Editor of course) and graphic designer (using GIMP). Other than that I have experience with PHP/HTML, JS, Flash, Photoshop (only for concept arts), AHK and RPG-Maker ( :D ).

I "work" as a level artist / graphic artis / webdesigner / something at Cranox Interactive (an independent studio working on it's first game). Here is our site (german!): http://www.cranoxinteractive.com

My last Source project was "Emergency Broadcast" for Left 4 Dead. It got cancelled for various reasons but you can still view some stuff here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/emergency-broadcast

And i'm currently working on my entry for the October-contest.

What else?
The games I'm waiting for to be released: Portal 2, Half Life 3, Monkey Island 5

And my favourite type of cake is jaffa cake.

Oh, and i made a little papercraft Companion Cube :) .

Half Life 3

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here...

Episode 3 is coming out the night of the apocalypse, we are not expecting Half Life 3 until the end of the universe...valve time considered of course.

BTW: I'm Hero, I am not in anyway able to map, but I would love to test the challenges anyone's maps put forth...also I kinda like to exploit bugs so don't put those in either ;)

Welcome also.

Hello and welcome to you too, Hero!

Fortunately my maps never have any bugs...

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some bugfixing to do in my maps :wink: .

Hey all,

Just wanted to drop a quick note here to introduce myself, it's the right thing to do :D I'm a Source Engine modder and I've lurked on your forums from times to times to look through posts and tips for Portal level creation, as well as your wiki. As a level designer in training, I'll be uploading a level shortly to gather feedback, since I want to use it as a portfolio piece, so feel free to look at it and give your opinion!

Pardon my English, this girl is French :D

Hey there! I merged your thread into the Introduction thread. Enjoy your stay.
