Unrelated to SC2, but how many of you guys played/play Portal 2?

In case you didn't know they released the 'Perpetual Testing Initiative' last week, which lets you design Portal 2 maps in a much more user friendly interface, and release them onto Steam workshop for the world to try. I love creating puzzles, so found this to be rather awesome.

Was just wondering whether anyone in the community are into making such maps / got maps of their own for others to try / try some custom maps out yourself?

I've started making some recently, and have finished my first one here:

Second map completed:

If it turns out no one else is into the Portal games here then I guess this thread will just slowly die.. :P

If you have the game on steam, you can go to steam community-> steam workshops -> portal 2, and 'subscribe' to any map you like and it will automatically download it for you in-game when you next launch the game. In-game, you can play these by choosing 'Community Test Chambers'.

Haven't tried this yet, been meaning to over the last couple of days. Might have to do it now and ignore everything else I should be doing

[Asrathiel]

Did yours, Arma. The jumpy button didn't seem to aim quite right, took a few goes to land me in the portal properly. And sooooo many dots going everywhere in the first main room, lol

Apart from that it was cool

Arma:

Haha, yea the dots. I decided to just leave it as is to force people to try out each button to see what it does :P. Yeah that jump thing is a bit weird, but I have no control over that - i think ur meant to jump dead-center on the jump thing

I love Portal, puzzles, science, thinking with portals, love it. Though I'm not gonna bother creating maps since I suck at that.

Yeah me too. Whenever there's a map creator in a game I always fiddle around with it for about an hour then realize how much my map is going to suck and quit.

I played the game a lot a while back, have subscribed to some custom maps but not yet gone into the game to try them. I will add yours to my subscribe list and let you know what I think of it when I actually get around to playing it.

I love portal 2

I was playing custom maps in portal 1 before P2 came out as practice and to get me psyched and it was very clunky and annoying to do. Sounds a LOT better in P2.

What is the editor like? easy to use? Is there much scripting that needs to be learned? How hard is it to make a chamber look really good?

When seeing this on Steam it didn't hit me how awesome this is!
Didn't really think the campaign released the potential for really hard + skillfull puzzles. This will bring new life into Portal 2 for me! hell yeah!

Didn't want to make a new thread, so I will quickly highjack this one.

I just got a 75% off Portal 2 voucher on steam. I already have Portal 2, so it's no use to me. If anyone wants it, first to PM will get it.
