Thanks a lot, this map was great. We enjoyed it.
The only thing we didn't like is that you die when you step onto the wrong plates in the beginning. Maybe you should make it so that the player lands on a plate and can portal back.

[npc_msleeper_boss]

Your kill zone when you fall off is like flush with the edge, so if you try and stand on any of the girders you die. I would suggest lowering the kill area down further.

The open skybox bottom looks really out of place. If you aren't going to make it look Aperture-y down there then I would at least just make it pitch black.

Am I wrong or are two of the faith plates red herrings? The one that launches you straight in the air, and the right faith plate of the pair of them (facing the exit) that launches you straight into the pit.

Great map, A++ would play again.

When i see maps like this i feel so bad about the map im working on...

Great level

I had an interesting time trying to figure this map out, which means it was well-thought-out.
Well-executed? Maybe not so much. Moving from button to button in the control room is a nice teamwork mechanic, though a bit dull from a "portal" standpoint. But the on-and-off ability to fly through the plates/panels/bridges/whatevers got a bit confusing.
Really the only problem I have with this map, aside from what others have mentioned. Look forward to seeing future work from you.

They are meant to be red herrings. Originally it was just playground map with loads of faith plates, It was funny watching your mate stand on one that leads into a pit. After I made the puzzle I decided to put in a few red herrings back in just for laughs.

I'll lower the pit killzone and do more detailing to the floor. For some reason there's no physics box on the girders so i'll have to add my own player clip.

Yeah, just lower it a little bit, it doesn't need to be like the Hub's killzone, though.

[npc_msleeper_boss]

Yeah I think adding player clips on the girders, and lowering the kill zone maybe 128 or 256 units down would be good. Basically long enough for the player to realize they are falling to their death before they die.

Oops, after recompiling and reuploading I read that, may have lowered it too much.
Ah well i'll be giving it another polish this weekend when I have more time.

I just downloaded this and tried to play through it with a friend. I agree the kill zone is a bit too high, and was startled when I died a few times as I had no fall time. Beyond that the map looks pretty.

We never actually figured out how to solve it correctly, though --- The screenshot shows a companion cube, that we didn't even use. I put my friend in the room above with the buttons, then jumped on the vertical-flinging faith plate. At the top of the jump you can sneak a portal around the glass on the right side of the door, and then have your partner press the button to lower the blue glass, put a portal on the wall, stand on the blue glass, and have your partner step off the button. This gently pushes you through the portal and up the the walkway near the exit, allowing you to press the button there and have your partner simply fling over.

As a side note, it seemed a little strange that depending on where you step on a faith plate, your velocity changes, which was not how things acted within the single player and took a little getting used to.

I would like to say that the map has great potential, and will be a great thing to play after a few small tweaks, and I look forward to any upcoming maps from you.

I would suggest trying to lessen the frosty reflections on the glass in the button room, and maybe making that glass angled or lowering the room so the player up there has a better view.
