no no its quite ok, just looking at it will probably burn our eyes....

Not many people seemed to be happy about the fact that my first map One Way Loop killed you at every turn when I released it, but maybe Duffedwaffe's map kills you in a more... innovative way?

no it kills you in a more innonative ways. but with yours it wasn't that danger was around every corner but rather the puzzles were either "Get it right.... OR DIE" by Dudewaffle's description his involves lots of ~surprise~ deathtraps....

and as i recall your map got lots of good reviews just people hated dieing all the time lol

If anything could make Portal more interesting, it would have to be the fatal deathtraps that Duffedwaffe is cooking up in Hammer.

Fatal Deathtraps? Hmm... Hehehehe... I suddenly get a good idea...

From this point on, the current contest rules, theme, and other info is going to be copied to a Wiki article here:

http://wiki.thinkingwithportals.com/wik ... nt_Contest

You can bookmark/RSS/post around that link since I'm just going to update it every time there is a new contest, so it will always be the most up to date. And before any of you ask, yes, we are still going to do shit via the forum and there will still be a thread and we will still vote here, etc etc, so that's not changing.

Oh and by the way, updated the first post since we're not having an additional prize since nobody has been clicking the ads and/or donating money.

fixed*

but on topic: thats a really good idea. having one link that people can always goto for a contest.

Finally my map is finished. Thought I'd never get it done for the contest. If only I spent the time making this map doing uni work instead, I'd pass for sure lol

Anyway the map can be found here:

I hope you enjoy my work

when will there be a thread where we can vote?

When more than 1 person enters. Or, at midnight EST like it says in the Contest Rules.

Theres a map labelled for this contest in the contest download section. Wonder if they've forgotten to post a thread?

I hope they havn't

Very, very impressive map. You've got the touch. I hope you'll do an advanced version and challenges to include it in your pmk map pack
And that door mechanic is really rad, I hope you'll do more crazy maps using it

Thanks very much mate. I'm well happy you enjoyed it

The advanced and challenge versions are planned but I'm not sure when they'll be done cos I've got exams next week.

As for adding to the pack I'm gonna make a fifth and sixth map and then package all six maps into one pack together with their advanced and challenge versions and 12 small extra maps. Its gonna take alot of time but I just love Portal too much not to do it.

I'm not sure about doing this door idea again cos I struggled to come up with puzzles that weren't similar to the others. I will however explore similar concepts.

*rubs hands together*

Man, putting together the contest map pack for this one will be a cinch!
