THE PERPETUAL TESTING CHALLENGE: Rules and Discussion!

    THREE puzzle submissions per person.

    The challenge will begin May 8th, and end Sunday, May 20th at 11:59PM US CENTRAL time (GMT -6)*

    As always, the submission thread will be opened in the final days of the challenge. Post the following items with your submission:

    • [*:2amd65y4]Please keep all of your submissions to the Mapcore thread in a single post (the edit button is your friend)
      [*:2amd65y4]Your level MUST be posted to the Steam Workshop and include mention of the "MapCore Perpetual Testing Challenge" in its description
      [*:2amd65y4]In your Mapcore submission, include a link to your puzzle's WORKSHOP page. In addition to the download link, each level must also have:
      1 in-editor screenshot
      1 in-game screenshot

      [*:2amd65y4]Optional: A video showing your puzzle's solution(s)

    Unless there is severe backlash, this challenge will not have a voted component. Instead, all entries will be compiled together into a single post with appropriate download links. If the Steam Workshop integration will allow it, we will bundle all entries together to form a MapCore Portal 2 Pack .

    You may:

    • [*:2amd65y4]Use ONLY the editor provided in the Perpetual Testing Initiative DLC
      [*:2amd65y4]Submit up to THREE puzzles (please post only one reply to the submission thread, however, bundling all your submissions together)

    You MAY NOT:

    • [*:2amd65y4]Build or otherwise adjust your level in Hammer or any external tool. This is a level playing field.

    I'll say it again: I love you.

    Men, this is going to fucking rule, I mean it.

    This will mean a lot to me.

    Reasons:

    • The first real challenge I participate!

    • This is for Portal 2, a game I love and appreciate.

    • The tool allowed is one that I'm eager to put my hands on.

    • And, the best part: the other competitors are fucking godlike. I have no chance of wining. But I'll try my best to prove that I'm wrong. Battling with fellow MapCore geniuses... this is going to be a honor to me.

    I can't wait to see what you guys can come up with!

    Cool challenge, looking forward to seeing what people come up with.

    Won't be able to participate though, as I'm quite busy finalising something Portal2-related...

    I'm stoked for this Look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with when given the same tools and options. Very cool idea! :bananawrench:

    Does anyone else feel sort of resentful towards the Perpetual Testing initiative? I feel sort of like it's undermining the efforts of "real" mappers and modders.
