The Seal - Beginnings

how did you add the vault door in hammer?

Nicely done. A bit short.

Good but too short. Is there a part two?

Aperture, in the fifties, had a lot of money. In future maps, use warm colors, an expensive-looking materials. Especially in the offices. DON'T use testing materials in the offices too much. (The white tiles you used were for tests.) If you need a portalable wall, use a concrete texture, not one from the tests. And use displacement; in underground maps, displacement is your friend. Also, while this map was okay, including a little more than a simple fling (which I had to try multiple times (info_placement_helpers are your friends with flings) would have been good. It felt a bit too brief. Sorry for the long comment, by the way, just some stuff to consider in future maps.

Even if this is the beginning of a series then it still would have been good for there to be some sort of puzzle. This is basically the same thing in one part of the single player game, just reskinned and rearranged a bit.

If this is the 50's Aperture use expensive materials and warm colors. In the dev commentary it points out Aperture had a lot of money at that time, and everyone was eager to do science. When you progress into the 70's and 80's, the materials become cheaper, as Aperture was far in debt through harder times. They had plastic and linoeum walls and floors. If you're aiming for a 50's, 70's, or 80's enviroment lok for cheap and expensive materials.

How much would a good windows laptop run you?

Yes, definitely. If I were you, I wouldn't risk Bootcamp and just get a Windows.

That's okay. Just thought I'd ask. Hey, thanks for asking me to be your friend! Don't think I'll try the bootcamp procedure, better safe than sorry!

I always hate when I have to tell people no. No, by the way. Unless you want to use Bootcamp and download the ENTIRE Windows operating system onto your Mac. My friend has a Mac, and he say's it's quite a risky procedure. I don't recommend it. Sorry.
