TOO DARK!!!

ne more great and fun series! Finished from 8 to 1. Enjoyed. Thumbs up!

Took me forever to get angles correct, I cept running into destructo-wall and having to retart..
Looks simple enough, but takes time to get right....

i forgot lol
this has been in my queue forever, i dunno how i never got to it

this map is pretty old, you know

this chamber could have done without the crossed antlines and inability to see

Nice chamber
A little bit to dark.

Nice start. I can't wait to play the rest of the collection!

Message me if you fix those problems & I'll play it again but, for now, I'm removing it from my queue.

A clever puzzle but the combination of darkness, a black portalable panel, a death trap, & the fact that most mistakes will cause you to have to do multiple step over again makes this test unbarably tedious. I did eventually win though.

welp idk how to do it the legit way but i cheated it and got to the end which is enough for me ;p

Nice.

Hey there,

I promised to make a comment for each map ...so here it is.

It's not my intention to vote down or up only, it's more important to increase your understanding to make a better map.
I want to give you feedback to your map. What is good and was not?
Maybe a way to make it better, if I have an idea. :)

Just for the sake of completeness, the gameplay again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpmFDVp3EOg

The facts:
*you don't like signages, hm? overlapping antlines are not very nice
*whole map is too dark and that's the biggest problem
- I think you want to make a better atmossphere but some elements are just black ...look at the first flipping panel or the black nothingness on the upper floor (maybe deadly goo?)

The puzzle was ok.

I hope you accept my critique and ...maybe your map will get an update or you adapt what you have learned to your next map?! ;)

Keep it up!

D/l'd the whole series. Will try them ASAP.

@bonkrood
Thx

A good looking fun map. :)

@dmuk
Thx :DDDDDDDDDD

Nicely done! On to the next one...

@dven1
Thx

No, but I will!

@dven1
Did u try Salvation 4?

Nice map, good ambience. I jumped for a portal near the end, not sure if that was intended.

@Petutski
ok

Well done logical cube manipulation! Black portal surface? Had me going for a while.

i'm pretty sure my solution was unintended but it was a very good chamber!!! Excellent overgrown style!!! 10/10!!!

Oh I almost forgot to mention: how to resolve the "dark" issue we all keep noticing . Other things you can try in addition to a Full Compile:

> If you used a light_environment , try changing the pitch to some downward angle.
> As a last resort ( and only as a last resort... ): add more lights (and perhaps fewer plants where you expect the player to go).

Also, I saw copypasta in the ceiling which didn't look good either.

A bit too dark, as DeathWish808 said.

dzięki ;)

Good map. Keep going! I'm waiting for more! :)

tough for me, seems not so much for others here, enjoyed it, thanks!

Thx for commenting

I assume the darkness was on purpose, but a little bit of subtle lighting would greatly help Especially for portalable surfaces. Otherwise, nice map!

@Adrihfu
Thx

Good job, but to easy

it find it qute intresting love the textures the foilage and the darkness

First, I would not use logic_auto for BGM because usually, you can't hear it until you enter the test chamber. Second, Light. Too dark. Maybe put a broken lab to light up. Third, Antlines. Too many antlines. For some of them, change it to signage. Overall: You relied too much on PTI editor. I wouldn't blame on you for that but try to stay away from them. It's not good for your hammer practice. Looks like the holes in the ceiling is also from PTI BEE2 mod. One is acceptible but more than one looks akward because they look all same. If I were you, I would give some changes to vary them. To do this, go to 'Instance' menu and choose 'Collapse', 'Selection' This will 'unwrap' the instance on your map so that you can edit it directly on your map.

Light more pls

its so hard

Nice chamber but a little too dark. Thumbs up!

a bit too dark and the antlers looks too messy, but a really good puzzle :D

It's a bit too dark even for a destroyed map. The indicator lights are just all over the place and criss-crossing unnecessarily. You aren't just restricted to the floors for those. You can use more of the walls and ceiling. That means you do need to rework the ceiling foliage. It's best you get the chamber running and playing smooth with minimal eyesores BEFORE you "beat-up" the chamber with decay.

-Overall ratings-

Level Design - 70/100 It was dark and dilapidated and really told its story well.

Toughness - 75/100 I'm sure someone who's really good at Portal could figure it out pretty quickly, but for the casual player it'll keep you scratching your head.

Level Story - 100/100 The level tells a story of a once glorious Aperture, now in disrepair. It's got looks going for it, being well textured and well aquainted with the story the maps will tell.

Overall Rating - 85/100 (Well Made and Ready to be Played) My own shortcomings on this map were just that, my own. Each player will find the map plays differently to their tastes. Once I figured out what to do I had a blast and I look forward to any future maps for the series.

-Initial Playthrough-

I just played this map and I think that it's absolutely spectacular. I really only had two problems with it. The first was that there was no sense of direction, I generally fumbled around for a few minutes before figuring out what I was supposed to do. The second was that there was no consequence for failure, it took me a few tries to get through the map, and when I did something wrong it often didn't look very wrong, so I'd mess up inconcievably before I figured out I actually HAD messed up.

I liked it. Fairly easy but it looks great. Nice job. Thanks.

@Redstoncraft How? It's the same.

The map STILL is too dark, didnt you try to change the brightness?

Now how do I rate it?
Design - 6/10
Story - 3/10
Sound - 6/10
Puzzle - 8/10
Textures - 10/10
Whole map rate 7/10(average)

Plants looked spammed and they are floating
The music should start when you enter the chamber, not in the lift.
Too dark.
More destruction props needed.
