Has TWP died? I remember at first, there were a lot of new maps coming in, now we're lucky to get an update...

I think the spotlight and news speak for themselves. To answer your question, in my opinion. Yes

But portal is awesome.

There is no denying that...but looking at the same textures and design for a year will make anyone bored of something.

Seeing the same puzzles for a year is not fun. Everything is just a slight modification of another puzzle.

Wow, I need to pay more attention to Portal 2 News...Maybe I'll start by finding a good source...maybe 1UP...

Basically, yeah.

Creativity, SDK's, and updates make a game popular, but Valve missed a few steps.

As mappers we could chuck out some crazy ass maps, but it still wouldn't be enough to honestly get Portal back into full swing. That's mainly the reason why I stopped mapping for Portal, and I really enjoyed working with new game mechanics too.

It's just the issue is either a map is too hard and frustrating, or it's just too easy. It's very hard to get something that's in between, especially with something like a whole new game mechanic.

It's going to have new levels and stuff. It's full mod!

Yeah this mod is going to be great, just like how Prelude sucked too.

Prelude just had new levels. Project Beta is a TOTAL CONVERSION. The "Stuff" they speak of is a new playermodel, new portal skins, 2 different endings, reskinned portalgun, and they're trying to have some of the beta chambers...

Obviously not as hard as Project Beta which will change the ENTIRE game...

Prelude just was a bunch of (French) Portal Nerds who wanted something challenging to them...

Total Conversion mods are always the best.
