New level soon! The next video will include the interesting parts of building my next level. Edit: Switching to Hammer! I will have to remake/redesign the chamber I was making in BEE2, so it will take more time. This also means the chamber should see a dramatic rise in quality, which I feel is a good trade. Stay tuned!

@KILLACROSBIE

Thank you! I'm hoping to make much more elaborate chambers in the future.

Aesthetics: C* Puzzles: E** *Compared to other maps made with Hammer. **Reasoning: The puzzles do not require the reuse of elements, and there's always just one accessible place where a yet unused element can be used. This eliminates the aspect of choice in the puzzles, and therefore the requirement for thinking about how to solve them. In layman's terms: The player only needs to think about where the elements are, and not how the use of those elements needs to be chained together to solve the puzzle. Advice: Never make a puzzle easier than Tripple laser from Portal2.

Hey, I genuinely appreciate the objective facts! I totally agree that the solutions were rushed, and there were a LOT of missed opportunities. This was lazily made in an evening when I was just cycling through what the BEE2 mod added. I plan on finally finishing, and releasing a new chamber very soon that will better utilize different testing elements. Thank you for the support!

@@KILLACROSBIE I just checked out your channel and it seems to me that you're quite new to making levels, so here's another advice: If you're planning to make lots of Portal2 levels in the future, don't make it your aim to get your levels onto the front page of the workshop. Due to various reasons the most "popular" levels will always be the easiest, and "worst" ones (Mike Daas has a video on why this happens). Instead of making levels for the workshop's algorithm, set yourself your own quality-threshold, and make your levels for those who will play this game for more than a few days after they've beaten the main storyline. You seem to be talented in using Hammer, so I'm sure that you will make some amazing pieces of art if you make levels that you want to make, rather than ones that get the "top rating" in the workshop. :)

BEEmod is a wonderful tool that im glad we all have the ability to use. This is a nice level that youve made here, I cant wait to see what else youre gonna do!

Hey kinda useless but I found an alternate solution to the 2/3rd room that could bypass the orange portal gun, albeit temporally. (Their is also a chance my understanding of 1 portal puzzles is limited with Material Emancipation Grills) Instead of placing the blue portal on the the wall to the left,(2:00, Room3) if you set up the laser redirection cube as you do, then you could jump to the previous chamber and place the blue portal directly across from the laser receptor.(2:20 Room2) (because the button creates an orange portal and not the portal gun I'm assuming the portal would still be active in the other room, despite the material emancipation grill) ultimately if the mechanics work as I believed they should walking through any portal being it in room 2 or 4 would just reset you to room 3 to place a portal behind the grate for the second gun. so no soft-lock, just me being overly convoluted. ps cool chamber I hope you are doing well!

Hi there! I used the chamber lock door to separate the different rooms. They come with both doors and the fizzler ready to go. For the intro, under Compile options->Map settings, there is an option to select different enter and exit Corridors. The announcer played the audio because you have to collect a portal gun since you don't start with one, and it fit the time period. The apocalypse announcer is compatible with the destroyed aperture theme. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, I gave up on portal mapping not long after uploading this. I might not know exactly, but I remember being able to change the levels time period/theme (changes panels, and other textures). You can also change the announcer and intro/exit corridors. I think with certain combinations, you get unique dialogue. That's how I got the announcer to accurately say the line at the start "the portal will open". Regardless, appreciate the comment :) good luck if you're creating.

How do you make portal 2 maps look like they were made by valve and not by players? Do you use something else than the built in map maker in portal 2? (NVM i found out but is there an easier way to make maps? like export the map made in the built in portal 2 map maker {not hammer} and then import it into hammer. is that possible? please tell me i need to know) P.S. would be helpful if you also told me how did you make the announcer say custom things

The puzzles are nice and all, but the test chambers look empty. Even though you're in the time period where everything is broken, somehow all the walls are still there, no gaps or anything. There is no vegetation to be seen anywhere either. Don't let this hold you back though, you'll get better over time. Try decorating your test chambers and see what you get.

This was used with the built-in level editor. I was however running the BEE2 mod. There are many videos on KZread showing how to install it. The best method is to build a chamber via Hammer, however. Hammer is much more complex, but allows for a LOT more. Again, there are tutorials all over KZread for that as well.
