Designed for Danger - Portal 2 Campaign

[Jenn0_Bing]

Hey, I'm glad to see you're getting a good buzz going around this release, well deserved. I'm looking forward to having a palythrough to enjoy all the polish since my test.

[Puddy]

Oh and if you guys play, keep your eyes VERY open on part 4. There's something very mapcorian about it.

[Algor]

Congrats on the release. I think I last completed part 3 but it feels well done so far! How did you go about the dialogue? Was that content that existed but was not used in Portal 2?

[General Vivi]

Crafty reuse ;D

[Puddy]

All the dialogue is really from the boss fight at the end of Portal 2. Rick is one of the corrupted cores there. But you basically never hear all his lines or pay enough attention to really hear how awesome he is.

So this has been out a bit more than a week now! Thought I'd report how things have been going!

As you guys made me aware of, dfd has received some media notice! Here's a media summary of the articles I could find:

When it comes to the workshop, DFD has found a nice spot just below 12 angry tests on the top rated of all time list. That means it's on 7-12th place! We'll see if it'll ever overtake some of the 12 angry test maps. DFD has only been out for a week (as opposed to six months in 12 angry test's case), so right now it's a bit hard to compete. I'm quite pleased with my place though tbh.

Currently, there are, on average, 12000~ downloads ("subscribers" to be correct) per map on the workshop.

The ordinary download mirrors only have 1700 downloads combined. To summarize: the workshop is the shizzle according to the players.

Here's sneaky hurg btw:

Soon I'll get to work on fixing all the minor bugs, glitches, exploits that players have reported. I'll probably do another art pass at some point as well. We'll see.

rocking it like a boss congrats man! well deserved.

[-HP-]

Congrats dude, very well deserved! I now have a PC at home, will try to rock this later this week, but it looks mint!

I've released a minor patch recently, let me know if you encountered any bugs or so during your playthrough!

Number of players have landed around 20k now and is increasing at a really slow rate. Pretty happy with that though.

[Vilham]

Man 20k for a single player custom map is great.

[Puddy]

Man 20k for a single player custom map is great.

 

Yeah, I was pretty pleased with that. Until...

 

 

... 100k!!! (total unique players) Only took 1,5 years.

 

 

So. Yeah. Take that Steam Workshop.

Yesterday, as I was about to go to bed, a comment was posted on map 5 of this collection. "smosh play this :DDDD". At first, I was baffled. What did it mean? Then, I remembered seeing one of those "Honest Game Trailers" and that "Smosh Games" is the youtube entertainment television channel thing that made those! I searched their videos for "Portal 2" and alas, I found a video with quiiiite a lot of views that I had absolutely no idea about until now.

 

So, I give you, a bunch of loud and obnoxious youtube personalities duking it out on map 5 of the collection. The last one to finish it get's cake'd!

 

[Radix]

It's pretty confusing to see that nowadays people prefer to watch others playing (even if those can't play at all) instead of playing themselves...

 

Well, there are probably more youtube videos of my "Gelocity" maps (Portal 2) than there are players who have actually downloaded the maps... lol

I just made the campain and then saw the video.

I wasted 10 mins watching a group of 6 idiots trying to be funny, while hearing a "BEEEEEEEEEEP" sound all the time.

 

Nevertheless, the campain was really great, i loved it and it goes crazy the way i love it (with huge rooms and long jumps to do ). Congratulations, 3 years late sry :x
