P2LC is going to stop in the near future

Aug 25, 2016 @ 8:07am - LPChip
Activity comes and goes. Its the natural flow of life.

We've been in this situation before. Moments where suddenly activity slows down to a crawl. Last year we had a similar dip and Stagger Lee and I were talking about changing things to spark the creative flow of the P2LC users.

Stagger Lee pointed out that these are just moments related to holiday and steam sales, and he was right. People came back and started to participate again. But activity was never back to its full strength, and gotten worse and worse.

Even before summer really started, the competitions had only a few maps with a few votes, and during the past months, it hit rock bottom.

Camerson1313 even posted a screenshot instead of an actual map for the latest competition which confirms to me that people lost interest.

So Stagger Lee and I have decided to finish the running competition for which maps can still be submitted till the end of the month (1 week left) and if there are actually maps being posted, we will also go into the voting stage for the competition.

After that the P2LC activities will stop. We will not organize new competitions. So if you want to have a chance to win the last P2LC competition, now is your chance!

However, even though Portal is an amazing game and it will always be there captivating new players, it's true that the Portal community has been vanishing out little by little, not to mention the impact in the Portal community because of the vanishing of TWP... But also, many Portal users are so young, and they play this game today but a new one tomorrow... I think they simply come and go... this makes a compromise difficult.

Anyways, my congratulations for this awesome group to Lp, Stagger Lee, and all members who were here making puzzles! Cheers guys!

What a pity... I truly enjoyed a lot belonging to this group and fighting in the competitions. I've played amazing puzzles that were born here and I learnt a lot about mapmaking and thinking out a puzzle upon given rules.

Same as DeathWish mentioned, in my case, real life took almost all my time for a couple of years and I drastically stopped all my mapping projects. I guess this happened to all of us in one or other moment... I just got back a month ago and I'm so happy to have done it :) I truly love mapping and this game... and I hope I'll still be around for much more time!

Everything must change, nothing stays the same ... but you had a good run!

Meh. Sad, but according to last competitions, true.
DeathWish808 Aug 25, 2016 @ 1:07pm 
... And the fact that I suck at mapmaking is another reason. :tank:

Same. Burned out. The little bit I do anymore is mostly on weekends. Still love the game, but work and family trump other things. Sucks to see it end, but maybe when Portal 3 comes out things will go full blast again. :-P
