Hi there Mapcore, Abyss is my mod I am working on since a while now and I though it would be time to create a thread about it. I first started with the idea of a mappack then i wanted to create a full mod. Abyss is a mod based on exploration and small puzzle with my own design of the Aperture Science Laboratories. I wanted to create something new.My goal was first to recreate a new looking Aperture Science Labs with more realism, There wont be any miles long open area in the bts scene. The story is about a man who is trying to escape the combines, they traped you on a hill and you had an accident attempting to escape and fell out.you wake up with a bad headache confused by the event and your only though is fight for your life. By exploring the area you happen to find a strange facility but it is your only way out. It was not a good idea. In portal 2 : Abyss you will have to make some choice that will change your story. Not major choice but enough to keep you busy and give a new experience on a new game.For instance you could end the game by falling to your death or being trapped in a deadly room. I have planned to make the Story in Six Chapter, 1: Discovery - you discover the facility and hide in it so you can survive2: The Abyss in this chapter you will learn more about the story of the facility while exploring part of it without any real goal.3: Uncharted - in this chapter you had the "chance" to visit an area that not much people have seen.4: Companion - in this chapter you have a companion from the last chapter following you and helping you through your adventure.5: Wake up - something went terribly wrong, you will have to face difficult choices6: The final - this is the final of the mod, There is no exact number of maps but it should be around 20 when the mod is finished. I still considerate myself as a beginner in Source Engine / Hammer Editor / Modding etc the mod may take a very long time to complete but I will Give news as long as I can. I will also release a mappack in the Workshop You can access the Moddb page here : http://www.moddb.com/mods/portal-2-abyssYou can access the Steam Greenlight Concept Page here: Videos!

Coming soon! Screenshots!
