This is my entry in the October mapping contest, it's pretty small but was only meant to be one test chamber. I hope you enjoy yourselves playing this map. (also hope that the bms worked, first time mapping or working on portal)

Seemed to be a lot of texture misalignments on the walls - detracted from "clean" look - I leave further discussion on map to experts.
A fizzler screen was missing up on the top level after first chamber, function was there just no screen. Two cubes drop sometimes from cube dispenser - that defeated the puzzle for only one cube.
Seems to end too soon, I was looking for more.
Nice map I enjoyed it. Thank you for mapping.

You need to fix the texture alignment issues and... the walls looked plain and the lighting bland. Try experimenting with lighting more next time, this map looked as if it was fullbright

Yeah, that was the main problem with this map, the lighting was just meh. You need to make some areas bright and some dark to create a contrast and spark visual interest.

elpieo, can you post a walk through on youtube. I finished it, but would like to see you're solution.

It was going good until it was finished suddenly and now I'm not sure if I downloaded the whole map. Glados tells me to make no more attempt to leave the testing area and it's off as if the electricity is gone suddenly and the light is out

Keep it up man.
