Usually stuff doesn't even go to Release until it's on the DLDB, much less community spotlight.

But since it's already halfway...

We need quality content, also I sent him a PM after I posted asking for said requirements.

Good map overall, but i'm not sure if it was just the map itself or me, but ever since i started it my reticle has been disabled but i had to manage, even so it was hard to 'manage' since there were a few tight spots that would have been much easier to get a portal into if i had the reticle. Also maybe it's just my lack of reiticle that causes this but i think that there's a lack of portal bumpers on certain walls, though of course don't take my word on this, it could just be my crap aim without a reticle. Overall i liked this map, the puzzles were all fairly easy but there are a few things i would change.

Spoiler

Such as adding a linkage... thing to the ball launcher in the room with the two buttons and the fizzler, when i finally managed to get the boxes over (and i did it the wrong way i later learned since i thought that lift was unpowered), i instantly headed straight for the door to see where it went, and just as i was going through the door i suddenly died. My first reaction was thinking that the door had closed on me so i lookd back. Nope, the buttons are still held down, then i noticed the ball leauncher behind me.

Excuse my french but it appears i got shot in the fucking back which annoyed me to no end that there was no way to tell that the launcher would be activated TO shoot me in the back.

Ya i loved this map,

especially the sceret room with the cake and you started laughing. I killed myself with the energy pellet on purpose five times just to see that awesome secret over and over!

At first, I was like "wow a gay ending about dreams".

But then, I lol'd.

how did you do that effect with the stretching gun and stuff?

I think he managed to change to FOV

Be advised that any noticable taste of blood isn't part of any test protocol. But is an unintended side effect of the Hand-Held-High-Energy-Pellet.

I used the env_zoom entity to stretch the gun.

Best ending EVAR.

very very nice map!!! really deserves to be the new community spotlight

I liked the time u set on the time challenge...pretty challenging ^^

though i got 03:54 on the second try...but still I wanna try to push this to 03:40 or so ^^

pls let me know what your records are

btw. I don't like the step and the portal challenge, so I didn't try them so far ^^

EDIT: 03:39!!!

still there is alot which could have been improved...my guess is that 03:25 is definitely possible...would like to record such a run and put it on youtube...how can i capture while playing? O.o
can't use fraps because the vid would be longer than 30 seconds -.-'

EDIT2: lol...03:19 xD

and still alot room for improvement...maybe sub 03:00 would be possible :shock:
