A genuine breath of fresh air--holy shit. I reviewed it here: https://youtu.be/EC15Q_fNRtc?si=j9odvmMEtfgsiuhT

I like your map so much!
after every steam VR session I spend some time in your Porto Map - mostly in the night scene.
It's so great to calm down after all that fighting... ;-)
my daughter is in porto right now. Is your map a 1:1 copy of a real district in porto?
or just fictitious?

thanks for this really wonderful map.

Any plans to port it to CS2? May I?

Nice place! It's like Alyx's vacation :steamthumbsup:. Would be great if Olga, Eli and other people be there too. I named Olga, the first woman Alyx found, in the laundry, 1st chapter.

@Anf there have been some ports and remakes, but no multiplayer support yet in HLA.

Stright up a counter strike 1.6 map if I've ever seen one. This is beautiful and has anyone made CS in Alyx yet?

Holy shit

one of the most beautiful maps i've ever seen

woah! I studied in porto... Alyx and Porto? Two of my favourite things!

alguém de Guimarães que queira fazer um mapa? xD

@Leojrenrek That was actually one of my initial plans, but I've been so busy with work while working on my own game on my personal time, I've never had the time to get back to this. Still hoping I do eventually, thanks for your comment!

Maybe add some cats and citizens? It would be great to see some life.

I would LOVE to have gameplay in a beautiful map like this. Fighting combine here would give me Lost Coast vibes. Someone please remake the Lost Coast in HL:A with this level of beauty and detail. I'm tired of fighting combine in dingy sewers in every mod.

Absolutely beautiful!

The story behind this is so sad and heartwarming <3

Portugal forever

Muito bem!

@|NiN|Terminator|BeN| that's an awesome idea, ahah! I'll try to find some time to get back to this. Many people recommended me doing a tutorial, so I'm doing that too.

@Skummeh, that's awesome, thank you!

Looks Beautiful, I just tried my first bottle of Port wine (from Portugal) recently! Not bad!
You should leave weapons out, but hide a head crab in there for someone to find as an 'easter' egg' Maybe use a wine bottle (or port) as a weapon to kill it when found :D

Really pretty map (I hadn't played this one; just the night one). I made a video with a bit of feedback for you. https://youtu.be/eVoePogKnO0

Nice

The pandemic cancelled my trip to Portugal :(
This'll have to do until the world stops ending! Thank you!

Muita bom!!!!! FORTISSIMO!!!!
ihonnyboy Sep 7, 2020 @ 12:53pm 
I'd love to see that tutorial and breakdown! A lot of these assets look like they're from the base game, but you use them in very clever ways here, well done!
LionTuga Aug 30, 2020 @ 3:32pm 
Awesome! But... where's my "francesinha"?
Bruno F Aug 30, 2020 @ 1:33pm 
Muito obrigado pelo seu trabalho! Espero ver mais cidades ou locais de Portugal! :) Valente abraço.
Bruno F Aug 30, 2020 @ 1:29pm 
Lindo! Obrigado por isto. Um valente abraço.

@zorich_michael The reception to this kind of took me by surprise so I might make a small tutorial and a deep breakdown on the making of the scene, seems like the interest is there so keep an eye out for it in the next month or so. :)
Thanks so much.:steamhappy:
polepos1tion Aug 29, 2020 @ 12:07pm 
Amazing job, really enjoyed the scene, I felt bad shooting up a few pots, must have annoyed the locals! Well done.
Mattie Aug 29, 2020 @ 9:28am 
Phenomenal work - I knew it was only a matter of time before the output on the HLA Workshop broadened beyond standard gameplay maps with stock assets, and your motivation for making it is inspiring to say the least. Keep up the good work
Adil3tr Aug 28, 2020 @ 1:23pm 
This isn't very accurate, there are no aliens or spanish combine soldiers walking around.
IntellectualPotato Aug 28, 2020 @ 12:53pm 
Do you have any essential yet small tips for making levels? I want to make my own great looking maps. i made a couple already but i don't think there the best
[HP]  [author] Aug 27, 2020 @ 4:05pm 
Thank you all for the comments, means more than you know!

@theddd1 Well... I did put the song ingame too, felt as the music was coming from the inside one of the houses as you walked around the streets. But I can't for the life of me getting it to work in the game anymore, I think the engine is still a bit bugged when importing custom sounds/music, either that or I'm doing something stupid with the scripting, which is more likely actually. lol But I will give it another shot.

@Dr.GRoWL the caustics are just strategically placed spotlights with a custom cookie mask. Just remenber to disable cast shadows, and Baked Light Indexing on them. Makes them cheaper, run better, and makes the vrad3 bake faster.

theddd1 Aug 27, 2020 @ 2:28pm 
Is there any way to add the song in the video, Porto Sentido, to play in the mod itself? Feel like it would add ambiance making it a more relaxing experience,
Willhart Aug 27, 2020 @ 7:03am 
Beautiful map. I made a video for it here:

You did a good job.:steamhappy:
Viceman Aug 25, 2020 @ 11:33pm 
Very nice indeed. I really enjoyed the scenery :cozyspaceengineersc:
theddd1 Aug 25, 2020 @ 11:09pm 
really incredible, it makes you feel a little melancholy that we probably won't get to travel to places like these for a long time, but it still makes you wish you were there.
Reznik Krkovica Aug 25, 2020 @ 1:51pm 
It´s great to see some well-crafted map outside the HL world, with no combat
Reliantlers Aug 25, 2020 @ 2:03am 
shouldn't expect anything less from a professional environment artist, good stuff
