The contest died as well. The highlight of the month was a joke in one of the posts

Apparently so

I've been busy working writing a game lately (collision detection algorithms are the worst thing ever.) I still check up every day but at least until Portal 2 comes out...I don't see anything big happening here.

What game are you working on? Is it Portal related or something else?

Nah, it's an FPS that I'm writing from the ground up. It's a lot of work and I'm not sure how much I'll have done for my final presentation this semester.

Well, I wish you luck.

Thanks...I'll need it. This is a lot of work for a single person. I really should have just stuck with a 2D sidescroller.

I promise I'll release soon and hopefully the site will gain a tad more activity for a week or so

"sigh"

I would like to try and revive the community a bit, now that I myself have some more free time, but I can't help but feel like it will fall on some deaf ears. I would want the runtime to be short, 30 days or so, just to keep it fresh in everyone's mind.

I do apologize for not posting every day like I used to, but for a few reasons I just haven't been able to.

I don't think it's dying as such although time may tell but it definately has low activity. Maybe thats why I've had little motivation to finish my map even though theres very little left to do on it

I look forward to playing your map. What's the name?

As Remmiz and Hober said, the game has been out for well over a year. For a game even as innovative as Portal, we are pretty lucky to have the content we do.

Also, people might just be getting better at mapping over time so they work longer on a single map. There are many high quality maps out here and it just takes a lot of time to make these.

I agree. I'd much rather play a map that someone took some time to make (like yours) than to play a prefab piece of crap that was kicked out in 2 days.

So in my believe, super hard and confusing maps/mods is not the right way to go cause most people who are gonna play it is basically people that did not play Portal in a really long time. (That statement really goes with portal mods cause people that don't play portal anymore really don't download Portal maps anymore.)
