Damn. in after Hober. Well this is a good concept but I'm afraid that there are some bugs to it... Such as getting stuck, and the aforementioned button climbing.

Getting stuck? How?
I thought the concrete walls were far enough from the doors to prevent bugs, is that not the case?
Or you mean firing portals from the hatch and then having ithe hatch close?

Seems to me it's not an issue : if you have a portal outside, you can fire again a portal in your back on the concrete.
And you necessarily have a portal outside, whatever you do. Unless there is enough concret to fire two portals at once in the hatch...
If that's the case, portal_bumpers should do it to prevent it.

EDIT : Yep, you do have room for two portals. So the problem is real. I'll use portal_bumpers so the portal gets redirected closer to the middle, which should prevent it.

i posted comments on the download page, to tired to redo them here :-p

I read the comments, thanks

In fact I like very much the idea of an "obvious but hard to do solution" with the pit, and a "less obvious but easier solution".
I didn't do it on purpose, but I think it gives the player that thinks of flinging from the hatches an interesting sense of freedom.

Also this is room 1, so it kinda fits to have an easy but open to several solutions problem.

I could prevent this by making all the floor metal in order for everyone to do the purposely annoying fling in the pit, but it is sure more fun to leave it as it is now.

Yeah I agree, like you said its room 1, there could be more than one way to complete is it can help new people out.

Hows the other rooms coming?

As far as your sarcastic lines, I might be able to help you.
They're only ideas to help you, this is your project and it is up to you to decide what you're gonna do with it.
I often get told by my friends I got dry, sarcastic humor. The biggest problem is I ain't funny on purpose, most of my jokes I make without knowing it is funny. Hmm...

In any random test chamber:
"Mommy said I am not allowed to offer tests without a solution. I don't agree. See if you can get out of here."

After you defeated an android:
"Boo! You killed the android! You broke his heart!"

In a Weighted Companion Cube test chamber, if the test takes very long:
"I can speak and I'm going to stab you if you don't get moving."

In a chamber with toxic goo:
"If you want to do something funny, try touching that green goo on the ground."

In a chamber with a combine ball:
"You wanna play catch?"

When you get stuck:
"Ooh, now you've done it, now you're stuck and I gotta help you out."
"Right, getting stuck is NOT the way to survive in here!"

If you detatch camera's:
"Those cameras are vital testing apparatus. In layman's terms: Keep your dirty hands of them!"
"Detatch another and I'll detatch your head from your body."

When flinging:
"What was that again about flinging? It had to do something with momentum..."
"Oh, yeah, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out."

With the rocket turret:
"Be carefull, he's asleep. And he doesn't like being awakened."
"Ooh, now you woke him! Now you made him angry!"

Overall that 'Little Evil Girl'-thingy. If anyone of you ever played Advance Wars 2 or DS, the way CO Lash talks.

Some of your suggestions are pretty good, I might use them

A few examples I already wrote :

"According to mommy's data on androids, their main objective in life is to find love. I think it is just too cute, and I want to help you to find your love. This is why I introduce you to this aperture science high energy pellet".

"Oh, it looks like the high energy pellet dumped you for this aperture science high energy pellet receptor... Too bad, I was expecting you to make me a little brother with it. Now I'll have to play alone. You are so mean".

"Look at her, your beautiful princess, with her kissable grey surfaces, her flowing non existant hair, and her little hearts all over her. Hurry up and save her, Lancelot."

Much more to come, but I actually have to find a nice effect and a text to speech with a little girl's voice

Quote from Ricotez on January 28, 2008, 1:41 pm

try a little girl voice talking to you like you're a baby or something, that would perfectly suit GLaDOS Jr.

A few more that came up to me:

General:
"Do you like cake? I like cake a lot! Mommy bakes them often!"
"Cake, cake, caahaake! Delicious, precious, adornable cake!"

When you fizzle an android:
"The androids like cake too. But that's no reason to bake them."

When going BTS (if you want to add such a place):
"Boo! Going where I can't see you! That's no fun at all!"
"If you want cake, well, you're not gonna find it here."
"Do you want to play hide-and-seek? If I find you, you're baked.

I'll just post any little idea I get here. You may do with them whatever you want.

i do agree though. i think that most puzzles "should" have more than one possible solution, and most do (even if not intended) i just wanted to let you know that the "pit" thing, i fell in one time. and said "screw this!" but luckily i know more ways to fling :-p some people may not. i like it. and it IS possible to do it the way you intended. so if someone is that "challenged" with it. then its doubtful they beat the full version of portal anyway. so who cares :-p

Quote from rellikpd on January 30, 2008, 7:21 pm

hey there. also i just thought of this. i forgot you were wanting to do a "glados jr" style voice... try contacting xitooner he has a map in the WiP right now with custom glados voices. and man they are good. i think (together) ya'll would be able to hammer out something damn respectible in a glados jr. voice.
