Nice map

Was fun - appreciate it!

Good one. Thanks for your efforts.

No problem for the late reply, I've just been sitting up here in Washington on my own sort of going crazy for a couple years, so nothing new there too haha I'm actually thinking of moving all the way across the country as well just to get out of this mess. No new maps, or mods lol, I can't even think about projects anymore, I'm leaving that part of me behind for a while.. maybe I'll come back one day. I don't have an instagram, but I saw yours, and man I might just grab some of those pics for reference material, which I still collect as a hobby haha.... I mean, feel free to add me again on steam if you want..

Also I'm always quoting stuff from that video but no one knows what I'm talking about (not that they can because it's not a video they could have seen [which kind of makes it funnier ]), thanks for grabbing it for me, and sorry again for the belated reply :l

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you, I had a feeling that would happen if I didn't respond right away (which I didn't ofc, because why would I be proactive about stuff? That would actually make sense). I've been getting through it (sort of), bout ready to set the place I work on fire with everyone in it, but you know, nothing unusual; I'm also sort of across the country right now and probably will be at least a few years.
Don't remember if you said you were on Instagrahm or not, but I'm on there now too; so yeah, I guess if you want to see what I'm up to (sort of), perhaps look me up on there if you are. As usual, I try to keep the same name across platforms. If you're not on there though, what have you been up to? Anything interesting? Any new maps (or mods ;p) coming out Soon™?

Got it right here for you ;) https://youtu.be/kHkT-Md2tXA how've u been?

Played the map ages ago, but forgot I recorded :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGnUk99IWRA

I didn't build the puzzle in a map, I copied a few key pieces to the style and tried to vary them somewhat so that it didn't look exactly the same. It's like using a model, you use models over and over again, it's not like you make a new different model for everything you want to do, especially something that performs the same function, so for all intents and purposes what I did was fine.
As for the thumbnail, the idea of it was to show the main test area, not to show what "style" it is; besides, you want people to discover things in the map, if you take pictures of everything then there's nothing else to find ;p

Oh MAN, that was great! I love the art therapy style and you did a fine job recreating it. So fine infact, that I guessed that you exported a valve map and built your puzzle in it. Yup, the description says I'm pretty much right. I'm okay with that though, because it's a new puzzle so I don't know why that would be plagiarism.

Good job to Ace Pyder for the puzzle. I'm not a speciallist in coop maps but I had quite a lot of fun playing this one.

You can't see it's an art therapy map from the thumbnail, I would've chosen another. - Because art therapy is so great. Everithing else is perfect!

If by easy you mean no ninja moves and not josepezdj difficult, then sure, I guess so.

Easy

You can thank A Spyder for that, as I mentioned in the description, it's his puzzle.

It was fun. Not too hard and not too easy.

I just saw it earlier, I even played a few levels with the proper cave textures. The entire portal community is grateful.

Oh btw, I emailed Gabe Newell about the cave textures and he actually responded with "fixed, thanks". So, finally, right?

You paid 15 bucks for it? I thought you only paid 10…Dang

I figured. There's no Way you have would've paid $15

What else? I got it for much less than you did, so I figured I'd lay it on you. ;p

oh, thats what it was for

In case you're wondering, yes I got just to bug you.

Orly?

great

was fun af =)

Thx, be sure to read the description, at least at the beginning of it, it says where I got the puzzle.

Dude this map was amazing! We did have some struggles with getting past the turrets on the extrator funnel (we used the cube as shield lol), but then we figured it out. Great job!

Great map! A little short, but very well put together visuals, and we enjoyed the puzzle. Here's our blind playthrough: https://youtu.be/U1WB9A2yocU

(Apologies, my mic is a bit loud compared to the game. Didn't check volume balance.)

Well that's what I was going for, I'm glad you thought well of it.

My 2 little pennies read the following: "outstanding" and "work"

Indeed this is on par with Valve's work. You even used some of my favorite coop GLaDOS lines

I did add some antlines, not full connections, but i think it works and is a fair compromise for not having any (like i'd like to have it). I wrote about it in the changenotes.

The Art Therapy style here is really well done, maybe better than the Valve original. Puzzle is nicely done, but the entire map could use some small antlines. (Cut out tiles with antlines on them)

blegh antlines. (and as for that laser thing, there's a video on the original that has antlines to the emitter and the ppl still didn't notice it, so your point is invalid)

Loved it. Involved lot's of thinking long distance. Visuals were nice (except that trippy cube).
Needed some antlines.

9.999999999999/10

It's a fairly open ended puzzle, what don't you think you did right?

Still not sure we did it right. But that was awesome.

Description has bin updated, have a look.

Good one :)

Nice one, short and good portal puzzle!

Wow, terrific, I know you used the process of looking into art therapy maps, or decompiled them, but I really like this map and it is really like Valve's. Thumbs up!

No problem, glad to have played it!

:)

Your comments to me are the biggest compliment you could ever give, and I want you to know that I really appreciate it.

I took a lot of notes from the in-game art therapy Maps, plus I copy pasted a few things (the long walls as well as the entrance and exit and the work-in-progress test Chambers, and let's not forget the observation rooms way over there) I tried to make a few edits to the things I lifted though so it wasn't pure plagiarism. A few of the things you see I did myself like the and the entrance and exit catwalks/cages, as well as everything that's part of the test chamber, including the vacuum tubes. All the while thinking of the things you said about test chamber geometry, lighting, etc. I'm going to be adding more to the description later including a link to your map, I just wanted to get it up right now.

Nice coop destruct map i like it thanks you ofr you're efforts !

Not bad at all, good quality, not often I see this theme done right. It was also interesting to see how the little changes had an impact on the overall gameplay, like how you could see the funnel from the far room, how the ledge was shorter so you could grab the cube, but also use the cube to jump up to it, if needed. No outstanding issues (of course you know I can find the bad in anything). The way the turrets huddled together made me laugh. Adding to favorites.
