Portal 2 Toolset Allows Users to Become Crueler Than GLaDOS

[Reaper195]

Very VERY cool. Unfortunatley i don't have that kind of free time. I imagine building a test chamber could get a bit....involved.

Seconded. I've got a fair few ideas for some awesome chambers, but don't have the time or effort or patience to actually crate them.

 

[OutforEC]

Someone will bake cake.

Yeah, probably lemon cake at that...

Hmm... I wonder if people will accept a bunch of crappy levels I make if I say that they're test chambers made by you-know-who.

As long as you put the word "TEST" On every wall

 

[Dooly95]

I'm going to see this going "Boom" then fizzling away like a firecracker.

A defective one at that.

Because I didn't buy Portal 2 for the puzzles. All that was done in Portal 1. There wasn't a lot more different you could have done and it really wasn't all that different. The goop just really added a horizontal portal boost and a trampoline. (well... )

But I know that I won't be jumping up and down for the next Mario World 1-1 Portal 2 style.

That was the first thing I jotted down in my list of things to put in my level.

ooh~ and use those turret/cube hybrids if they're available, include those two things in stupidly simple puzzles and I at least would have no problem blaming them on our favorite spherical pal.

...Voldemort? *brick'd*

OT: Sounds fun, but I've seen flash games with level editors before and I could never come up with good puzzles for them. Though if anyone does make some good ones, think Valve would hire them?

 

[rabidmidget]

Awesome, this is pretty much the reason I got Portal 2.

 

[Zenode]

I can't way for some of the maps which are gonna need millisecond precision, its kinda what I craved from Portal 2.

Spoiler: This happened to me way to often in the Single Player Campaign so I hate to know what this is gonna do to me.

 

[teknoarcanist]

Here's what you can expect from user-created maps:

Hell, that probably deserves it's own abstract.

 

[theriddlen]

Okay, i'll play with it, but Valve, gimme Source 2 SDK! And HL3.

 

[shiaramoon]

Ah, the Blizzard method of letting fans add longevity/fix perceived issues with your game.

Brilliant, couldn't have said it better myself. Afterall, what are addons for? rofl

OT: I do hope they have some kind of rating system in that will help to separate the wheat from the chaff. I hate having to sort through for the good ones...

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Looking forward to this! I'm wondering if it'll be possible to get Left 4 Dead 2's weather effects into Portal 2 maps... imagine running through a dilapidated, shadowy testing course partially exposed to a thunderstorm.

I laughed.

 

[VondeVon]

D'Oh! Downloaded but won't run.

 

[FalloutJack]

Hellooooooo, replay value! Jack is ready to receive this form of awesomeness!

Now, someone show me how to get it.

 

[CounterAttack]

D'Oh! Downloaded but won't run.

I have the same problem. Downloaded the Authoring Tools, and Source SDK for good measure, punched up the Tools... nothing. It just fizzled out and set my Steam status back to Online.

 

[Rabid Toilet]

Just a notice, the toolset apparently doesn't work on XP. They said they'll be looking into it tomorrow morning.

 

[Sabinfrost]

Very cool indeed.

I laughed when I read the title and then saw "family-puzzle" as a tag.
