[WIP] Raven Hall
I figure some of you might be interested in seeing what I'm working on.
I am building a fairly large single level map which has eight separate rooms.
In order to exit the main hall, which the player gets locked into once they enter, they must complete the challenge in each room. Once all eight rooms are completed the exit door unlocks.
There may or may not be a final end challenge at the end.
The challenges get progressively more difficult (at least I hope) and interesting mechanics are introduced in each room which eventually are used in combination.
The feel of the map is quite dark. I may actually need to lighten it up a bit more if there are any complaints.
Currently I am only finished with the main hall and room number 1. Room number 2 is 50% completed.

Inside room 1. Behind the player is a "keyhole" which the cube must be placed into for the door to open.

Damn msleeper, you moved this while I was in the middle of a reply...
Hey, first of all, I like the look of the strip lighting along the ceiling rather than along the floor, like usual.
Looks like fun, can't wait to try it out.
There are lighting strips along the ceiling in Portal.

Thanks for the comments.
I'll see about posting a playable WIP once I complete 4 rooms.
Oh whoops, didn't see no playable. Back to Mapping with this thread.

now THAT is 
My bad - it's been a while since playing through the original... Usually, though, mappers stick to floor lights.
Back on topic - can't wait to give it a whirl!
