I didn't have much time to do anything interesting today so I decided to post some pics of this.

I hope to actually finish this one well and make it worth releasing here, cause it hopefully will be better than those crappy noobish horror maps on here, plus I made sure to include the portal gun.

You should add fog into your level. It really gives great atmosphere when you put start distance value close to 0 or even minus values. Then just play with max distance to adjust its thickness.

On this I had purple kind of colored fog and its start distance was something close to 0 and max distance around 2000. Can't remember were my values even close to that, but you'll find out when playing with it a little.

I'll try adding some fog, probably only in certain parts of the map because otherwise some of the areas will look really weird.

You should use light-blue, cold light. This makes feel the player even more uncomfortable (little psycho trick, as yellow/orange light feels warm and nice).

Sure, but a lot more complex stuff as well. Physics for the cameras, scripts for the sphere behaviours, then theres all the respawning/checkpoint scripting,having the spheres interact with fizzlers/paint/lasers properly.

Yea I have cool blue lighting or white lighting in most of the areas except 2 warm and 1 red, this part of the map is just the intro cause I want people not to think its a scary map when they play it on the workshop, so the intro is pretty unscary and well lit.

The later areas get progressively darker and creepier

There it is now if you got some time to play. Can't guarantee its 100% error free.

Finished the first part. It is smaller than what was intended due that I reach brush_sides limit, so I had to cut the map in half.

Hex Complex Link is in the download page.

Fair warning: It is not a puzzle map.
