THE PERPETUAL TESTING CHALLENGE: Rules and Discussion!

Hello! First time poster, first attempt at making a Portal 2 puzzle. It's a bit too easy atm, I think.

Glad to see you're in Matthew!

Here is my first one. I intend to get more playful with the next ones

Would love some feedback so I can make much better test chambers!

I'm hoping to get some time in at home this weekend to throw together something, haven't used the mapping tools yet, but look forward to learning them!

I'm thinking of something with angled light bridges. don't know if that's possible, but would be cool.

Unfortunately the tools won't let you create angled light bridges or oddly tilted anything; they are setup to be extremely simple to use for the every-man. But the tools are very nice and quick to work with, within their limits.

haha, of course. thats alright though, I don't have a ton of time, so perhaps that's better for me. anyone else basing their map off a single idea or design theme? (i swear I won't copy, since mine is now pointless... )

Woo, got a second one together.

Not as happy with this one, don't feel like it has an 'Ah ha!' moment like the really good ones do. Tried to minimize the non-portal-able walls, just because.

Here's another hard one from me: Gentle Drop

Fair warning: Hard

My second one here: http://%7boption%7d

I think by 'creative'(in my previous posts) I meant more difficult... hehe. This one is probably hard? I can't tell anymore because I spent so long creating iterations; I can't remove myself from it well enough to determine how difficult it will be. As always I'd love feedback, but more importantly I hope you guys can enjoy playing it

And updated since you could bypass the whole map, apparently. Thx for whoever gave that feedback! If anything else comes up, please let me know!

Man, some splendid entries in the submission thread. Be sure to post them today, everyone!

Shit.

I designed two test chambers but I'll only be able to submit them later on this day.

See you soon!

amagad.

I'm trying to publish my test chamber in steam workshop but Error 16 won't let me.

I'm having issues trying to play other test chambers, too. If that doesn't get fixed in the next few hours, I'll extend the deadline to tomorrow night.

Thank you!

I searched for this error, and apparently this is caused by some malfunctioning in steam servers/ connection.

I'm trying to validate the game cache and see if that works. I'll keep trying to publish it.

Btw, how many hours are left for the current deadline? 5h30?

Done. Uploaded my maps and posted them in the submission thread.
