A small Puzzle mod that I've been working on. I'm going to be releasing a Dev version of it on Monday with temp Vo.

Welcome to the forums BlueDude!

Looks like he got it working. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I'd like to have 1 map where you are teleported to another door with a different solution after you complete the first puzzle, I have a lot of ideas so it would be nice. I don't know if we are allowed more than one entry though. Also I can't record video in Source, a lot of people can't, do we absolutely have to do this? Also do we have to release the .vmf, I've spent tons of time working on a lot of my advanced logical scripting that I don't want just anyone to steal.

1. I think you should be allowed to enter multiple ideas.

2. you can't use fraps? or drop console (~) and record a demo?

3. I wouldn't think people are always out to steal your work. If you don't feel comfortable with sharing... I guess that's ok not to?

Absolutely! Your work is your own. Share it with the world, go back and re-build it, take it out back and carve 1 unit brushes through it... up to you!

To think you kiss your mother with that mouth! Terrible!

Yeah Sentura, I think you might be... over thinking this.

There are plenty of times where you would have to infiltrate a building to open the door from the inside instead. For example, in hl2 you have to enter a room and look through a window to see that the door has been blocked on the other side by a physics object, the player has to use the grav gun to open the door. !

The idea was If everyone had similar shaped doors it would be easier for us to identify the puzzle.

EDIT : wait, I was totally not thinking when I wrote this! Read what KFS posted below lol.

Quote from Mr. Happy

seems to conflict with

I don't remember adding surrounding geo, perhaps thats a kfs mess up

we should just change that to "door and supporting wall" or something

Quote from e-freak

custom content (animations, models etc)?

Yes, custom content can be used. In my example I have custom Vo to get my point across.

Quote from Youme

I have to ask, can we have a 'fail condition'. If the player doesn't do all the necessary steps before opening the door I'd like to have them restart instead of it just not working.

That's fine as long as you can open the door. Remember you will be graded on "Awesomeness" and "Uniqueness". So as long as you can meet those criteria, you should do fine .

Tbh, it's not shown in my video but at one point I had it so if the player threw about 4 cans into the room, while the woman was still on the computer, she would notice all the cans and eventually walk over to the window to see you.

Quote from bokeh

As an extra rule, how about using only the basic logical scripting entities, brushes & effects that are shared by Hammer, UnrealEd, Sandbox, Unity etc? Universal things like logic nodes, trigger brushes, simple effects & the like, while avoiding the very game-specific & heavily coded things like Portal's portals.

I would say no, I don't think we should stifle creativity. I mean, chances are if you create a puzzle to open the door and it just uses the normal portal mechanics, your puzzle wont be "Awesome" enough to win, just my take on it.

WOOT! Let's Do it! I might have to enter this a second time!

***POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN VIDEO!***

All I really want to say is

"I loved it"

All I can really say without writing a novel...

Btw, I picked up the game at BestBuy a few months ago, I also just purchased it on steam

Go Go Go!

Congrats on the release btw fellas! Solid launch! Pion!

I've had quite a good response from people on facebook. I'm sure in no time you will get a job.

I'm going to post this on facebook. I hope the rest of you do the same

Pistol lens flare for the win.

happy b-day

Yeah I'll just piggy back ride on the polycount crew who is piggy back riding on the GA crew lol

*bump* GDC is almost here!

Do you guys want to hang out Wednesday after the award show? Or will everyone be there on Tuesday?

I wouldn't mind getting some numbers since I don't have a smart phone that can awesomely hook into the internet.

I also didn't realize that GDC was next week... so now I'm rushing to get infossss
