Hello fellow community.

I made a new kind of puzzle, the link for the giveway can be recieved from playing
this
Portal 2 custom map.

The link konsists of four parts, each with either one or two digits,
the numbers in the top right corner are only there to indicate the right order.

Also, it's not an AAA game but it was more expensive than Fortix.

May the fun be with you(:

Edit: The giveaway will be open a week from now.

The missing textures are visible now.

there are four signs, if you put them together in the right order (according to the small numbers on them) and type them into your adress bar after pasting "http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/" you'll be able to enter(:

Nice challenge!

I finished and entered the giveaway as the first user, here are some of my notes (without spoilers hopefully):

  • the lift with the cube on top bugged out on me. Remember: better not touch the cube until the lift reaches the top
  • the edgeless cube didn't drop onto the pressure plate below the dispenser several times after map loads. That essentially blocks any progress without the player knowing about it. If you drop down a shaft and stand in front of a mechanical glass wall blocking the way out of this dead end without ever seeing the edgeless cube (=ball), just reload the map and cross your fingers.
  • the laser puzzle bugs out, too. After enabling the second laser you can take the cube away and the second laser does not shut off until something blocks it. This could be corrected by moving the shine through laser detector (whatever those are called) out of the second lasers beam. Maybe widen the hallway after the forcefield to add some space.
  • I missed the button at the end of the dark hallway because I simply didn't notice the hallway at all
  • I resorted to portal bumping during the edgeless puzzle. In case you don't know about it: you can bump the second portal over through obstacles like thin walls or emanzipation grills by shooting the first portal right next to the obstacle on your side and then firing the second portal at the same location. Yes, you can solve the puzzle without this glitch, but I only found out on my second playthrough (hunting for missing hint textures).
  • the turrets don't target the player (although this is a good thing given the little space to move there)

Oh, and by the way: the ordering numbers on the hint textures appear on the upper left, not right ;)

many thanks for this awesome review!(:

I'll try to prevent these bugs from happening again. However, the laser thing is part of the test:D

I also know about the cube bug, but didn't know how to fix that as I used pre-finished triggers for that..

The hallway is somewhat tricky.. when I light it up it is too easy, when I don't do it, it becomes too hard(:

Oh, maybe the turrets didn't target you because they looked in the opposite direction. In the very first version of this map the player came from the mainchamber, I added the way through the laser-rooms later(:

Well, the chamber is not that hard, but the code is well hidden. The first is very hard to find. second and third are placed on the way out so they can be spotted. However i didnt find the fourth part.
Perhaps i will, but i am not sure..

;) you know by saying that i was hoping a bit of a hint about the location of the fourth part of the code :D
Edit: Found it.. i knew something would be there but since i couldnt get there i just rejected the posibility.. ;)

Can u keep this map up after the giveaway ends as well? I don't have the time now and even though I can't win anything I want to try out the map ^^ cheers

Of course I will(:

I'm also working on a second map atm which will be placed on top of the current map (you'll be able to see the old chamber through the missing celling). When I get the skybox to work, I'll update this map not to have that white sky anymore, maybe I'll even add some more entites or a hard version.. or both:D

Is this a bug, or am i missing something? Notice all three of the cables are on(I hope it's not considered spoiler, you can go up there from the beginning of the test chamber) http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/846953640198872610/F65A389CA144701340448D290DBD90A1BDFA32B8/
