The ThinkingWithPortals Map Showcasing Thread
Ah, I knew I forgot something like that. I put one on the Excursion Funnel but then it must have slipped my mind to place the others. Thanks for the heads up, I probably would have forgotten about it for good before releasing the map. 
I have, however I'm still working with it, I some recessed lights on the floor up against some of the walls, however they aren't overly visible in the images provided. Nonetheless, yes there will be a few more in there if I can find proper places for them.

Sorry to not break the trend of this uninterrupted cavalcade of praise taking place here but that looks really, really good! A nice open design, pleasing colour palette, just the right amount of destruction / unfinishedness, creepy guy in the window, what's not to love.
Somehow, the contrast between the roughness of the exposed construction bits and the warm lighting gives a really special and pleasing effect. I'm gonna try that in my current project, see how it looks.
You can add some light strips, but don't overdo it, it may ruin the atmosphere!

Even though this is TF2, you guys might be interested in this. Valve recently added bumper cars as part of the Halloween update this year, and now kart racing is totally a thing you can do! A quick race track I made:

Personally I'd change the part where you get teleported to just part of the track leading back around.

Looks fun! For some reason, the ambient background music fits really well with this.
I do agree with CamBen about the teleporting. Making the track cyclic probably provides a more continuous "flow" to the action, if you know what I mean.

Wow, what happened to TF2 since the last time I played? I'm going to have to look into that now, that actually looks really fun.
Also, thanks HMW, sorry for not responding sooner, I've been preoccupied lately. xD

Nice BTS area! Should the testchamber sign be lit up? I doubt the employees would plug in a sign if it's just sitting on the catwalk. If it's intentional, perhaps run a cable from the wires on the left into its side (if this isn't already the case).
I like the little handrail with lights on the conveyor belt!

Its powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator and is activated by a proximity motion sensor; The employees only involvement with it, is mounting it to the test chamber wall.
