Will this be released in a map? It's so gorgeous.

Yes, this will be the new sendificator map. I've played some of it, and I can tell you that you've got something to look forward to.

Apologies for not answering sooner; internet was weird last week. But yes, pretty much what he said

I don't know if all this non-map related stuff deserves a new topic, but I'm showcasing something and it's in a map.

So, you're making a Portal gravity gun from what I understood. I think it's basically like the Blue Portals bonus mappack where you have an "ECHO" device.

Something like that. Basically I wanted to merge them into one device so I could disable an enable modes on it without having to give a lengthy explanation of why you keep losing your guns for no reason, plus I thought the green sprites looked really cool.

Looks cool.... like a crystal cavern from the old style RPG's.... also reminds of the oldblockbuster tv show..

I really hope all those hexagonal shapes are func_details, the visleaf's would be a nightmare otherwise...

Ya... I had a big problem on another map when I didn't made most of the blocks to func_detial, that was a pain.

The recent problems I encountered are the water texture ( ether doesn't work ( beneath water or above water problems) or it looks like it doesn't work) and in need of better and more optimized lighting ( which every map has...).

Kylo, that looks really cool. I love the light gently hitting the surfaces around it. I read the word "entry" and it got me thinking, When will the next mapping competition here be? There hasn't been one in ages, (or maybe I just missed a memo.)
