Awesome map and tremendous collection! Need to fix one softlock spot: you can fall onto the light bridge from above, where the turret is, in the first lasers chamber and you can't get out.

thumbs up, fun map!

Wow, that was fun. It was a very well made level. I particularly liked the buttons hidden inside of the flip-up panel boxes.

Very nice. Not too hard. I'll never understand people who'll use an exploit to exit and then never play the map. A lot of work went into making an enjoyable game and I appreciate it. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
Would love your feedback on my Hard Logic .

Would you be able to describe exactly what you did or, better yet, make a video of this at all? I can't see how you managed to get access to the room on the left before the room on the right with the laser relays, the button that allows access to the laser relay room is blocked and should only be reachable after the laser relay room is finished. Reaching the turrets in the main room is an easy fix but I'm more concerned that the entire chamber sounds surprisingly broken at the moment after being around for over a year.

Okay, solved it. Killed themain room's turrets manually. Didn't see how the light bridges could be deactivated. Did not get access to the chamber on the right. Exit opened after pressing both buttons individually by placing the sphere on the 2 receptors in turn. Can't see how to access the right chamber - through the door of which I see laser relays...

Well.... i subbed to this chamber before then....so that explains it...

How long ago did you subscribe to this chamber? That issue was fixed three weeks ago.

I found a gap in the corners of the glass panels surrounding the portal surfaces, so I was just able to portal my way in, press the buttons, and finish the map.

If you use the noclip command, you can see how it's done.
The symbols on the turret fireworks have now been removed. I must've missed all the symbols in the laser redirection room, thanks (although the symbol recycling is still present, just less of an issue).

I don't know what you guys were about, but the grandness of the chamber adds to the cool factor. This chamber was fun, though nothing challenging.

How did you make those turrets fly up like fireworks? That was FREAKIN' AWESOME and would love to try that myself. Just when I thought there weren't any more ways to kill a turret in style, you prove me wrong :D

Here is an instance that you need to hide antlines or symbols for the turret fireworks. Symbol recycling like mad here.

Try my map?

Thanks for the update...
I play it again in the intended way (i think). ^^

Btw: It's unimportant for the solution and it brings no advantages, but it's possible to bring all 3 laser cubes from part 1 in the main room ;)

There's no need to apologise, criticism and feedback are always useful, especially when it's such an obvious little issue. It's now been fixed and I changed some of the symbols in here too, it was a little messy and unclear before, thanks again.

Your map need a little rework in hammer editor. ^^

Sorry

A lot of these take place in large open spaces, which is weird to me. From the beginning, I always tried to limit the size of my tests. But it does make the navigation seem a little more "grand", so I can see what you are doing with it.

The turret fireworks were priceless. As for the puzzle, very simple and very logical. Well done.

Very enjoyable map. And, like some of the other commenters, I too, enjoyed the fireworks.

OK. One thing you learn the hard way is to try and reduce the amount of "mini-tests" in your chamber.
If you make one short but challenging test, players will notice ;)
Also "challenge" means to be at the limit of where the player almost gives up but not yet....
There is a lot of tries top be put into that :D

Price, I'm sensing a bit of a pattern in your feedback. I'm yet to have a chamber that's both suitably complex and consistently well lit. Most of these chambers are on the item limit, while designing a chamber to be satisfying to solve I usually go over this limit, unfortunately, the lighting is the first thing to be axed to make a room publishable. Believe me, if I could make every chamber well lit and challenging, I'd be one happy designer. Thanks for all your feedback so far, as long as you're enjoying the chambers, it's all worthwhile.

A rather elaborate chamber... Loved it... not easy, but nice... and then, the fireworks were a good addition :)
Try to improve the lightning, as always ;)

If you noclip around in the chamber, you'll see it's a neat little combination of some well known items. I'm not sure how I came up with it, I think I was experimenting with faith plates at the time.

I'd like to know how you do the fireworks, otherwise this puzzle was great

So you died in the water or the set of laser grids covering the entrance that the player has no interaction with?

very good and challenging chamber. however i do not like the fact that if you do parts that are very far into the course of the puzzle incorrectly that it is punished with death and you must start over. it is very demoralizing to begin from the very beginning when you know that you are so close to the end. but again. another well constructed puzzle

Fireworks are a cool idea. Overall, pretty cool level. Not too hard.

Wonderful level design.
I loved the "fireworks".
The two rooms off the the side were easy but enjoyable.
Got stuck inside the glass flip panels twice as they closed on me.
At the very beginning, I was able to press the upper pedestal button (way above the entrance) by faith flying up and around the flip panel (square symbol).

Nice design, but too much symbols everywhere

Amasing Level design well done!!!

Just got round to playing it and ir was prety good. Nice and easy.

I'll give it a go. Like I say it was a nice idea but frustrating...

Doubled the amount of time on the panels. The same glitch happened in Titanium a couple of times, seems to be a problem with all panels that close/open on the same square as the player.

Nice idea but couldn't complete it because I got stuck in a glass door due to the timer being too short!
