Ywa Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The mapping contest deadline is too tight (probably because Valve is taking an early vacation) so I won't be participating. I'm not that much of an artist either.It's an unofficial contest. Valve is not really involved with it. Apart from spotlighting the winner. Link to comment
Clavus Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nice video Darkstar. Everyone seems to be playing exactly how I hoped they would: enter room -> explore mechanics -> fall into depression because they don't see how to solve it -> have satisfying 'Eureka!' moment -> win puzzle.The mapping contest deadline is too tight (probably because Valve is taking an early vacation) so I won't be participating.

Ywa Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'll give the map a serious play tonight, and record the first attempt. Link to comment

Corby Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Speed run w/out glitching took me 45 secondsSpeed run w/ glitching (Still possible btw) takes me 42 seconds Link to comment
CyriusG Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I solved it exactly the same way as you did it Ywa the first time i played it. Link to comment
Clavus Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Third version! Thanks to Ywa for finding that quite tricky bug. Moved the door another 16 units back because I noticed I could still pull Mayco's trick off. Besides that I placed a few extra lights.DownloadI think that's pretty much all there is to this map. Thanks everyone for the videos! Next map is already in the works Link to comment
Clavus Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 And here is the first version of Entry02! Let me know what you think and recordings are appreciated.(yes the water texture is shite, I'll look harder for a better one)Download Link to comment
TheGreenGrasshopper Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I played and recorded it but for some reason it has a resolution of 300px or whatever so it'll have to go like this.I quite enjoy it, it is possible to press the button without the gel though and I think it's under platform9 you can see the void/leak thingy you know when textures lag over each other.nevertheless it was incredible fun to find out the stuff Link to comment
Botervloot Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I have to say, I quite liked it.Still, it's not really that subtle even so. Only after a lot of trail and error did I see how I could make it. The lightning is really bland, and so is the environment. I also disliked the use of the portal-gun; I didn't really use it that much at all. Edited May 29, 2011 by Botervloot Link to comment

It probably won't be the final version anyway, I'll try and come back to it after I made the next maps in the series. Link to comment
