this should be on the Bee2 mod

More Penrose maps are now available that are not listed on this collection. Search "Penrose" to find 04 & 05.

The idea of Aperture Laboratories Southern District is cool. Make more levels in it. :D

It was pretty easy for me. I liked how the last one was a little more challenging. I loved the surface division field and its green glow. It provided a different challenge in portal. when will part 4 come out?

Great map series. Played and enjoyed all of them. Well balanced difficulty across each map as well.

Nice idea, but buggy as hell. You can get stuck very easily.

Interesting concept! Kinda made my brain hurt at the third test there though. I'm still not entirely sure what I did to solve it. I just fiddled around pressing buttons and stuff and somehow ended up with the second cube (seriously I have no idea what I did to get it), then I had more of an idea of what I was doing. But I'm chalking it up to dumb luck haha. Not that it's a bad thing at all that I was confused. It means you created a really creative new element that required me to think a bit differently. Kind of like when I first played Portal altogether!

Make moreeeee :) Pweaz

teTris: Cool. :) Again, I'll notify you when I have some more time.
Cadeη: Heh, well, I'm still kinda' buissy with college right now, so that's why I don't really have time for making maps anymore. Which was pretty much my only reason to go on steam. Right now it turns out I also have to be online for a moment for college, but yeah. :P Normally I can't always be here.

credit shall be in the things i make, you can count on it

Reaper... why are you never online?

Then I'll get back to you one that when I have the time. Right now I'm just checking in to respon to messages, that's pretty much all the time I have.

I'm definitely in favor of your idea though, as long as I get credited for it. Then again, my logo is on it, so.. Yeah.

ok its just i do a lot of portal 2 model ports to gmod and after playing this amazing set of test i wanted to see if i could get the reskined cubes and stuff into gmod

Thanks for the feedback people, and expecially the videos. :D

Selyp, that was really funny for me to watch. :P Not in a bad way of course. I would like to mention that you kinda' solved the third one by getting stuck, hence the emergency wall break there. But really nice overall, great to actually also hear someone's thought process. Thanks! ;)

PS: If you still don't fully grasp what happened there, it's important to note that the Surface Division Fields work from both ends. In the third test four rooms were actually interconnected with one field. Hard to wrap your head around, I know. What especially hit me was when you said you can't even imagine how someone would create a puzzle like that. I take that as a compliment. :)

teTris: I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't really have the time right now to figure all that stuff out. I didn't make a file release for that stuff, though of course it's nice that you like them so much. :) If you still want all that stuff, I might be able to give them to you in a while. Just contact me, I'll probably get back to you a lot sooner than I did now.

i like the concept

Hope to see more of these.

hello i loved the maps, they were really good could i have a download for the models and textures? (i can't find them in the files) e.g. http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=139454169

Speedrun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPLQdYmvT2Q

Awesome idea and executed very well - Enjoyed it a ton! Here is my playthrough of the collection - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQvX5AlIwfo&feature=youtu.be

@Cadeη: Like someone pointed out in your comment section, you need to pack them. Use packrat to do so, it will put them in the compiled map so it's added automatically. You can find info and where to download it here.
@Special Agent Cooper: Thanks. Didn't know that game but it does seem to have some similarity judging it from wikipedia. ;)
@Dr. Mike: Thanks for noting that. I'm aware of those bugs. It hurts but I can't really stop them, it's an engine thing that it can't render a lot of portals at the same time. Nevertheless, I'm glad you liked it.
@The Commander: Hahah, nice. I'm just being high on life, though. :P
@wildgoosespeeder: Glad to see someone who played the maps in the ol' days. :D Welcome and thank you!

I remember playing these before Portal 2 started the PTI. They were definitely using world portals in an interesting way.

Whatever you were on when you made this, I want your entire supply of it.

Very interesting concept and also nice maps. Noticed a few minor bugs while playing. All cosmetic in nature. At one point a light tunnel that was flowing through Surface Division Field was invisible but still functional on the side of the Field opposite the light tunnel generator. Also got images of the other/alternate area as I passed through a Field. Again, these were only cosmetic. Would like to play Penrose 04 sometime after finals.

Combines the logic of Prey with Portals. Excellent work.

Can you help me with something else? Currently my team is currently making a giant MapPack with a new story, I'm leading it- and it introduces a lot of new textures for grids that we've borrowed (stolen) from you. Here's the DEMO map for the Detonation Field- what we will use instead of Emancipation Fields- http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=101457580&tscn=1349656646
We want to know how to make it so you don't have to download the texture packs in order to see these textures.
If you can tell us how you did it that would be great! Thanks!

Glad I could help. ;)

Okay thanks, and yes I was talking about Hammer.

Assuming you understand Hammer, I pretty much did the normal stuff. Except I don't use blue-ish lights but go for a warmer yellow-orange tone, with some green lighting where appropriate. (To a non-sickening extent ofcourse.)

A full compile might seem trivial, but it's important to note. That's about all I can tell you though. Sorry if that didn't help. ;)

What lighting shade # do you use for these tests? And how do you get it to look so smooth.

I am but I have college now and truth be told that's taking up a lot of time on my end. The next map release may take a while, I'm sorry to say.

Are you currently working on Chamber 04?

Thanks for the feedback. :D Don't worry, I'll try to increase difficulty gradually.

I need more of them!
Really good maps and fun to solve.
Maybe if it would be a little harder to solve it it would be even better

Thanks longs213, I'm glad to hear it. :)

Wow. Searching for single player maps, I found 01. My immediate decision was to get the others. This is really awesome!

Hey, thanks a lot for that, I really appreciate it. ^^

Best custom portal 2 maps i've played so far. And I've played a lot. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Thank you so much! :D

I've got to say these are pretty darn professional. Even the logos are professional!

Eh, you mean Penrose 03 ? Yeah, why wouldn't I have?

Did you make the 3rd Part?

Thanks for the feedback. ;) And I made a few textures myself, including the Surface Division Field, but it's not that hard if you know how.

Very inventive use of a teleporter grid - is it available in Hammer or did you made it?
Pretty cool concept, you can check my maps, I would appreciate your input.

Yay! ^^

You, sir, just blew my mind.

Hey, thanks a lot! :D

I like your homemade aperture logo. Very nice :)

Thanks! ^^
