[WIP] 'Only A Test' UPDATE 1/09

Page 1 of 3Next

This is the cinematic opening to my map pack, 'Only A Test'. There's not any puzzles in this map yet, as the entire pack isn't finished. Special thanks to The Hamster Alliance for his voice. Any comments would be appreciated.

Only a Test

Is this supposed to be a Release or a WIP?

Well, it's a full, complete map, but not every map in the pack is done yet. Think of this as a "demo" of the full pack. I hope that makes sense.

No it doesn't. Release or Work In Progress.

username, when I get the gun and go to the room upstairs, is there anything more to do?

Press 'G' to switch between them. But no, this map really doesn't have puzzles in it yet.

If it's not a Release, then it's a Work In Progress. (Unless it's screenshots. Then you should be shot.)

I think MSleeper's point is that, if this is a finished version of the first part of the pack, then it could be called a release, because it is release-quality (bug-free, well-textured, etc). Otherwise, it should be sorted into WIP.

Okay, I think I understand.
I'll just leave it as a WIP for now.

Oh, and has anyone else tried it out? I'm trying to make it feel like a place with a story, as opposed to a series of maps.

Its an interesting start, and I'm intrigued to learn the rest of the story. However, some explanation of who the player is (if that's important) and how they got into the little room at the start would be nice (unless you're planning to change the little start room.

Okay, here's the basic story. You're an unnamed citizen visiting Aperture Science Labratories (I prefer this spelling). While taking the automated, guided tour, a series of unexplained explosions occur, knocking you out. You wake up later. Hours, days, months, you have no idea. What you do know is that you're now trapped in Aperture Labs, and have to get out through the now derelict testing areas, often solving them in new ways.
