Forum | Thinking With Portals

#1 · May 26, 2008, 10:09 pm

Ok, I started this map pack, destined to be three maps, but I got only a bit into map 2 and I ran out of ideas. ...and then I got distracted by many other games.
The idea of the maps is to NOT be stuck within the confines of an aperture science lab. Outside, and where things dont make lots of sense. Different style of mapping, putting the player in different portal-based puzzles.

Here's a few screenshots:
Map 1:

Map 2:

Map 2 has more to it, but most of it is pretty dark, or very incomplete.

I dont think I'll ever get back to these maps, so if there's anybody out there willing to finish 'em for me, let me know. Make sure to point out what you've made already, so I can choose a good mapper to finish them up

Update:
Play map 1 here: dload.php?action=file&file_id=237

I was going to link to a video of School's Out by Alice Cooper, but I was reminded of how ugly he is.

but its got some neat and orriginal ideas. this seems more like a Design Showcase than a level. the kinda thing that you might not have "fun" or even enjoy "beating" but while/during play you'll be like "WOW!" or "KICK ASS!"
there were several "rooms" that had me doing that but ultimately towards the end i was like WTF?
