Hi all! Something like this is set up at interlopers, and I really like it. Basiclly you post screenshots of your old/abandoned portal mapping projects, for others to see/rate/critiuqe/convince you to continue it!

This is for projects you either never finished, lost interest in, or just plain forgot and never released. Here, I'll start:

This map is quite old, about 4 months as a matter of fact. It was for a project I never finished, and will probably never be released due to the fact that it is low quality (IMO) and has many brush problems, as well as bieng very dark. And it lags, alot.

Seems like it needs a bit of dusting, some screws need to be tightened, and some optimization needs to happen.

Uhhhh....keep going?

Thanks. Remember, this is also for your own map projects that will never make it to light.

I have a lot of maps on my Source SDK content folder that either were never intended to be released or were intended to be released but were never announced, and often consisted of one day of work.

As for projects that WERE announced, there was only one but I think everybody should know about that.

Neither of these were problems I noticed. Five screenshots is certainly not too many.

Here's the screens from my old project Glass Prison following the release of the first portal. I had additional chambers nearly done, but stopped working on it when I realized that people who were testing it, and said they liked it, weren't progressing through the puzzles because they were too hard, and that I was the only one that had finished all the puzzles.

Those combine energy shields were an element I was using that would allow portals to be shot through it, but not allow the player to pass through. It served part of the function that the new hard light bridges serve, but they can do a lot more :smile:

I'm planning to start a co-op chamber after I graduate college (hopefully in a couple of weeks.) It would be nice if the sdk were released then too :razz:

Yeah I totally remember playing that. You know if you go back and Edit the upload, it will auto-create a thread for it in case you want one.
