bumpity bump.

Votes are pretty close, 8 to 7, looks like over all both stories are like whilst A is favoured due to it being more close to the original.

Anyone have anything new to bring to the discussion?

I gotta say B. It sounds much more interesting and if you do it well, it might be better than Portal itself. It would be nice to see how you do all that. :> Please make B :p

A sounds nice too. I like the test chamber destroying idea. :) But I just HATE Behind The Scenes. That was the most boring part in Portal. So usually I don't play map packs that have alot BTS. And BTS is kinda creepy too. I don't like it :<

In story B, you have to make the player understand the story, whereas A seems natural in Portal flow.
It involves more of a classical Half Life 2 story with choreography with NPCs encounters. And a lot of voice acting.

So if you plan to make the story B with a text explaining the story, which I absolutely doubt of course, just forget about B. It's not interesting at all if that's the case.

I know its a whole load more work, thats why I wan't to get other people more involved in this so we can pull it off. It would turn into a full scale mod with people making props, textures, character models, voice actors..
Option B is to make a more traditional story and I would make sure it ends up that rather than leaving it half assed.

well B would take more work, and I think the results would be much better because B is more unique. But would the extra effort required by B be too much?
I would hate to never see it finnished because it was taking too long and people lost intrest or there were too many hammer/portal issues.

If you do B I could be a voice actor.

If you want a boring, dull, monotone, heavy voice, I'm your man.

That's about the summary of HAL.

Now B is in the lead 9 to 8 :/
Looks like both are really about equally liked.

In light of atsu's offer I think the test subject just got younger

of course not, why would aperture science test children..... (Ignore the bring your daughter to work day, GLaDOS's feminist ways wont be in effect in either of the storylines.

I'm not deciding either way just yet and my signature indicates work on storyline A

Good^^

I think after GLaDOS said "... is a perfect time to have her tested." Everyone in Aperture Science decided to not bring their daughters. :D

My reaction is so because initially it seemed A was much more popular, now its completely the other way.
B will be a hell of a lot more work.

I think it's time I found someone to write a script for each with so I can properly decide one way or the other

Oh, so you want us to do all the work for you? Sounds fishy...

You seem to have missed the word "with"
They'd be writing the script with me so that we get the best out of the pooled creativity.
