What happened to the public beta Crying or Very sad

I've decided against it, but couldn't figure out how to remove the Poll. I'm sorry for dissapointing anyone, but I don't want to ruin any puzzles before they're finished. But if you want, you can still apply for the Private Beta! I need 2-3 people from ThinkingWithPortals willing to give constructive critisism, and whome have an eye for details.

Please believe me I am STILL ALIVE!
Just swamped with homework, schoolwork, rediculously impossible debate class, (I regret taking this...), you get the idea. Next semester things should pick up a bit, but I've updated the first post! There's a new section at the bottom, as well as a spot for me to make a note!!

"ridiculous"

I know. It's a re-diculous word.

As for comparing this to Prelude, I'd be rather cautious. It's not nearly as tedious as a few other custom maps I've stumbled onto. The portal ninjas are likely to have no problem with it. Also, there are a few eye-sore glitches that were overlooked rather too easily.

Keep up the good work...

It is a re-diculous word, isn't it.
As for portal-ninjas, I never said that it was re-diculously hard, I did in fact say that it is for people of an intermediate skill level, but to be enjoyed by all.
As for comparing it to Prelude, I said that it wasn't going to be as hard as people seem to think Prelude is. As for eye-sores, can you point them out so as I can fix them? Please?
And thank you for your last sentence of encouragement, lost in a sea of criticism. (Not meaning for that to come off in a bad way, btw)

Thanks!
And don't feel bad about your work when you look at that of others. Chances are, they've been at it for a long time and their first maps were crap. *mine cough cough*

I put in a new screenshot of a flooded maintainance area. More soon to follow. Currently working on one of the 'employee hallways'. I think I'm getting the feel for it down, I'll let you all decide when I put up some screens of it Very Happy

Epic looking mod, you've got here. I wants. Anyway, I should hope 70% is good. Can't wait to see it released.

I wonder... if you just put up one map, would that be sufficient to get it into the WIP section?

dvlstx · Test Supervisor Joined: 21 Nov 2007 Posts: 131

It might, but I really don't want to spoil anything. It's all tieing together with a story, and the earlier 'puzzles' aren't that hard at all. Razz

Sorry, but you'll have to wait till it's done and done.

it is dead?

dvlstx · Test Supervisor Joined: 21 Nov 2007 Posts: 131

No, this is very much alive. I'll probably end up making a new thread for it when it gets released, too, but it's safe to expect new screens soon (ish)!

Website is up! This is where I'll post most of the details of my slow progress.
