I made the original concept, the other people enhanced it. I really liked what they did!

Great detail
this demo was more of exploration rather puzzle.

But
It's laggy. FPS dropped to 20 at some areas whereas the portal 2 initial sequence drops only to 30 on my pc.
The mod doesn't remember my Portal 2 video settings.
And how do you get killed if you drop on the terrain. Don't we have boots on?

We know. We're trying to work on the optimiztion now, so we're sorry of the frame drops, and the terrain death was quit weird but if you wouldn't die there you had nowhere to go.

Really liked the map. Great attention to detail, I don't think a lot of people can pull off the underground style, me included. I mostly liked the first chamber, though I like the 'bring the cube'-mentality and the general openness of the map.
One thing though: After the second chamber, I couldn't really find the entrance to the [spoiler]repulsion gel pump station[/spoiler] without the help of lpfreaky90. A hint of some kind, perhaps lighting to lure the players attention, would benefit the map.

I'll say that valve has made some stranger mistakes. Jumping down doesn't seem safe, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Overall I really like the map, especially in terms of visuals. Looking forward to the full mod!

EDIT: Oh, and my framerate was fine. And I have a slow pc...

other maps will be more challenging puzzle-wise

And yes, the map is somewhat laggy, but that is because the map is extremely huge (~6000x6000x6000 pixels). Compiling told us it's over 2 million square feet... so that kinda slows it down. We will try to improve optimization so the performance can increase but it is really hard in this kind of map. Not all the maps will be so laggy but all of them will look good =D

The video settings is something we will look into later, it will be fixed with the next release.

And no, we don't have boots... we're Mel, Glados forgot us And the boots were sold out =(

Nice map, can't wait to play your mod.

And lol'd at Mel's makeup.

good looking map, I like the difficulty, got me stumped for a while.

P.S Mel may not have the boots. she has the knee replacement.

*insert arrow to the knee joke here*
Also, it's nice hearing all of you guys enjoying the map. I made the puzzles and LP, Moth, James and Andy did the detail and enhanced it. Portal Stories will be released in Feb 2012.
