Description
A collection of all the puzzles I made in the year 2018, arranged in chronological order.

2018 was a less productive year for me than 2017 in terms of making puzzles for the workshop, but that's primarily because I spent a lot of my time making 25+ puzzles for my Portal 2 mod Desolation, as well as being very busy at university. However, I'm still really proud of this year's workshop puzzle output. The tests I made in 2018 were all unique and experimental - I really tried to push the boundaries and move out of my comfort zone, creating tests using unusual elements, layouts, visual styles, and solutions. Not every one of these experiments has been fully successful, but I've had a lot of fun trying new things.

My personal favourite tests I made in 2018 include the compact but devious Catharsis, the innovative Spectrum, and the mega multi-puzzle map Synthesis, made in collaboration with my good friend K7 Avenger. There've been a bunch of excellent Hammer remakes and alternate versions of my puzzles made this year too, which you can find on my workshop. I'm really glad you guys continue to enjoy my Cave Johnson spiels in my descriptions - it's been a good year for them, and I definitely plan to continue doing them next year and beyond.

I also hit 300 workshop followers in 2018 (I'm now even higher at 370) which is an absolutely massive achievement. Thank you all for showing such keen interest in my work, it really warms my heart and motivates me to try and make fun tests for you all to enjoy. Here's to hopefully reaching 400 followers in 2019!

2019 will probably see a similarly reduced level of puzzle output as I continue to work on Desolation as well as other commitments, but I'm very excited to continue experimenting, innovating, and improving with my test chambers. Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉

Catharsis
Created by Demon Arisen
Cave here. According to those uptight snobs in the PR department, my pre-recorded messages have been getting a little too... inappropriate lately. Apparently test subjects have been seen sat in the corner sucking their thumbs at the mere mention of that ac...
Apex

Cave Johnson here. PR and Marketing department recently underwent a change of staff, by which I mean they all got melted by acid and now I have to do all their jobs. Some sort of freak accident with the sprinklers apparently. God rest their horrifically li...
Divided v2.0
Created by Demon Arisen
Cave here. Huge, dark, and smelly cave. What? No, I'm not talking about myself! I am literally inside a cave right now and I have no idea how to get out. Seeing how I don't exactly have many creature comforts in here, I'll probably be rat food very soon. C...
Synthesis
Created by Demon Arisen
Cave here. So apparently all our test chamber designers went insane because they couldn’t get their puzzles to work properly. So, while they take a week of unpaid leave to cry to their parents about their “compile errors” and “unintended solutions” and oth...
Mercury

DISCLAIMER: I am aware that there are big blue "ERROR" messages in this map for some people. This is not my fault, and I cannot fix it. It is completely out of my control. It's a bug with the latest version of BEEMOD which makes anyone who doesn't have BEE...
Nostalgia
Created by Demon Arisen
"Nostalgia" is an old map I found sitting in my editor which, for some reason, I never published. Judging by the mapping style and the fact that it uses stock puzzlemaker rather than BEEMOD, I estimate that it's from around 2015 - 16. No idea why I didn't ...
Spectrum
Created by Demon Arisen
Cave here. You may have noticed in that last test that we replaced all the lights with refraction prisms to alter your perception of the visible spectrum. As a result you should start seeing beautiful rainbows appear all over the place. If you find the end...
Extinguish
Created by Demon Arisen
Hello test subjects, it's Cave. Just an advance warning that the sprinkler system in this next test is extremely sensitive - and I don't mean it'll go off at the drop of a fiery hat. What I do mean is that it's programmed with a rudimentary AI personality ...
Dual
Created by Demon Arisen
NOTE: This map is not a major release, it's just a bit of fun. Someone challenged me to design a puzzle which only has a total of two portalable surfaces, without using any fizzlers, and with both portalable surfaces being static. So I did. Difficulty: Eas...
