[SP] Linking Annex - The Proposal Project

PreviousPage 3 of 12Next

- Like in the video, in the first map, the cube moved out of the receptacle and then one can't pick it up again. That's a bit weird.
- In the first chamber of the second map, performance seems to suck. I never had any issue before, even for map other people complained about. I can still play that one fine on my machine but I suspect that on slower machines, it's going to be a problem.
- Also, the 1,2,3,4 symbols are a bit redundant with the number of cube tags.
- For the second cube in the second room, after picking it up, it's hard to notice that the fizzler will disappear. Instead, seeing the other stuff (funnel/buttons for the 4th cube) through the portals, I tried to get there so I used the cube to climb the railing and jumped into the portal (especially easy to think since the same mechanic was used in the previous map):
- the faith plate send me through the tube from where the 2nd cube came from
- when trying to get back in the portal, I missed the plate, fell in the pit but I didn't die

HOW DO I ESCAPE THE LAST MAP? I'm not the one!!! :lol:

Overall, they are OK maps but way too easy (but then, you don't want to frustrate the player in this case, not even a bit :-P ).

Wonderful stuff & congratulations

indeed, the girl this map was made for wasnt a veteran portal player, but just someone who had previously enjoyed playing coop with his (portalfan) boyfriend.

so i had to make sure it was all direct puzzles, like cube -> button, instead of having puzzles layered over eachother with some added mindfuck sauce. ;)

Portal 2 Marriage Proposal project: Linking Annex
Spotlighted and over 9000 downloads!!! SP_Angrybombs


Here's my youtube & deviantart

I hope we can hear more about you and the soon-to-be-married, I bet Valve has appreciated the initiative.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

It was an extremely fun map to play and the GlaDos humor is always appreciated.
Nice project - I hope they will be very happy together! At the reception don't forget
to have 5 cakes!

What an amazingly creative project. Would it offend anyone if someone else wanted to use the same map for their marriage proposal? The only change needed would be to replace the names. If this is possible I would like to use the same map to propose to my girl friend. Her name is Sophy Qualman, and mine is Paul Collett

Thanks!

I played it and even though it was a fairly easy map, it has to be the best map I have ever played. :notworthy:

Understandably easy... but it had too many bugs and oddities for my liking... and I wasn't even looking out for them. Didn't expect to see so many in what should be a very polished map, considering the amount of time that went into it... I wonder if you'll go back and release a v1.1 even if it's for TWP rather than some lady.

Oh well. Now I'm looking forward to the ending to Angrybombs. Maybe you can get it out while it's still in the spotlight! ;p

How did u work together on 1 map? Or did u cut it into parts, and both of them made a few? I ask it because i wanted to make a map with my friend, but i didnt have any idea how to make it. (if u can, pls send a PM)

I liked the map. The first chamber actually I didn't find it simple :) but it became more and more easy, for me, to the end. The map has some "problems", that were already mentioned in this topic. But I liked the idea, that is for a proposal and the map has some elements which you don't see in any map. The final chamber was great. No one mentioned here but I think is about this topic, right?

MissStabby I like this map, I know you didn't do it by your-self but I like it. I don't know how you have the time. You did Angrybombs, this one and "the sequel" to the Angrybombs, that I heard is in the making.

Apparently this is actually Ellen McLain voice. It should be noted on Imdb on her page, although I don't know if it can be mentioned separately since is already credited for Portal 2.
I don't know if it is a secret, but who is Gary Hudston? This one by any chance?

Off-topic maybe:
1. When Gary Hudston presented this map to his girlfriend for her to play, it did together with the picture from the Spotlight, the one with the ring? Kind of a spoiler :) for her.
2. Joke. This is the ultimate test before marrying someone. If you are smart enough to finish this map/tests you can be my wife, if not you won't even find out about the proposal :D.

PS. You know that

Spoiler
Sorry, only logged-in users can see spoilers.

My view about Custom maps: I can't truly realize how much hard work you have put into making one. For that alone (finishing a map) you should be proud. So don't take to hard any negative comments that I or others leave about your map and take it like constructive criticism.
PS. Personally I don't like "athletic maps" were when you don't make it you die or you lose a lot of time. But that's just me.
