Fun but the game crashes and quits out of Portal....but still a fun idea!

Fun, innovative idea, even groundbreaking! High praise for that. Unfortunately, the test deserves an emphatic thumbs-down, because the board is much too difficult to control, and the slightest little twitch can make the player lose her grip on it. The test also becomes unsolvable if the hoverboard lands in a place that the player cannot access. For example, on the playthrough I just attempted, the board got stuck on an upper ledge, leaving me stranded. I don't know if the board respawns somewhere if it falls into goo; that would be a good idea, but it wouldn't solve all of this test's problems. Fair enough, it's a prototype, right? A lot of bugs and kinks to work out. I look forward to seeing more of this!

Does somebody know what happened to Fracture?

I had thought the characters preset name couldnt be changed at the time so it stuck lol

It was just my character name lol

Really? Then why is your Steam ID "SuperFluffyShmoopy"?

Its from the Jetsons but its funny to me cause in the game ark survival I was known as Jane :D
I tried changing my name a few times but Jane stuck lol

Yeah, I honestly don't know it's origin.

Jane? now thats a name I havent heard since...

JANE! STOP THIS CRAZY THING!

do not submerge the device in liquid, even partially

Waouuuu ! Very funny, even if difficult to control... Thanks a lot !

BEST, BEST, BEST!

Nice and cool. Lake to ride throughtnthe map. Thanks.

very cool i will have to keep it to play with it awhile

unfortuneately the mechanics of the device utilize elements that push the player around, not the actual hoverboard itself. As soon as the player touches a surface, the game applies friction and gravity as normal because it was programmed to think your were only using the arieal faith plates and not some type of flying machine

also apparently particle physics, such as the afterburners on the board, cannot be submerged in water for some reason. I speculate it might be excessive reflection overloading the texture rendering process and caushing the game to crash

one day I will come back to this and create a more functional board. I have already experimented with turning it into a vehicle, but there remains an issue with exiting the device while positioned next to walls, resulting with the player falling out of the map

2 Flaws about it:
1: If you fall into a death goo pool while riding it, the game crashes.
2: If you crash into a wall after going too far, it will stop floating (the rapid movement stays, but you stop going up) However, It doesn't seem to happen if you crash into a wall behind you, or if you're not holding foreward.
It's an excellent piece of work, otherwise!

Nice use of the radios from the super 8 trailer. Also will this ever be used in something like into the multiverse?

Hello, original Dev to the hoverboard here. The Hoverboard's flaw was found to be its particles not being compatible with water, for instance being submerged into it. One day a future version of it will be worked upon, but for now it remains in my back pocket full of mods

this should be a feature in portal 2 episode 1

Ya i've mentioned that before

death causes pc crash

great :p2cube:

It's a so awosome!

that nice game portal 2

A very fun game. Rally cool.

many*, apologies

however much people may believe this to be buggy, i think it was very well executed, especially considering this games engine doesnt exactly support flying entities. well done sir.

fuck author i love you you are genius omg you are super !!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD XXXXDDDD

how did you get the board to stay upright???
realy cool but I can't ever get past the timed paneles:

Well so is host_timescale .5

noclip better than this

Ya don't fall into water the instances kill to many items at the same time and it causes crashes.

the game crashed when i died

my game crashed when i played it

as the original creator I am aware of all its faults, which is why it was a scrapped concept. Various elements used in other games to allow for flying vehicles are simply not present in Portal 2, thus the improvisation of other devices make it difficult to recreate flight without a margin of error. I have actually created a few other prototypes, each with their own flaws and quirks. This one presented to the public is only the first of its kind.

The hoverboard is hard to control and buggy... At one time I picked it up and it was flying backwards even though I was pushing the forward key. Then at one point it crashed the game completely. It's an interesting concept but it should have been tested and debugged more thouroughly before being released.

The end result is a bit frustrating for my taste. Especially considering that it takes forever and 10 consecutive attempts to get back into quick play mode (an error occured while trying to.... please try again later) after the game is restarted.

A very interesting concept. Flying around a Portal 2 Map is great fun!

hah, its fun flying around with this thing :D well done

i think the reason it keeps crashing is BECAUSE the board can be fizzled, which interferes greatly with its operating mechanisms

you know what would be cool. if this was coop and there were 2 hoverboards now that will be the perfect mod. if you can't do this I understand.

I did not realise you could shoot rockets... also, IT FIZZLED! :(

OMG AMAZING I CAN FLY LIKE AN EAGLE RIDING A BLIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah sorry for that, please dont fall in goo with the board

im not very good at controlling the hoverboard so i fell into the deadly water and then portal 2 completely shut down :(

Fun, I liked it, that would be great incorperated into other portal maps. :)

Excellent concept and great fun!

Fun concept; like noclip, but without the cheats

the third one is Awsome!
