IDEA: Community-Project "Cube" Map
Hey,
a friend and myself somehow came up with an idea about a Portal 2 map.
The idea is that the Map is build like the Cube from the movie "Cube" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ ).
How could the map be?
A cube is always little cubes put together to build a huge cube.
For example 3x3x3 rooms, that means 3 Rooms in each direction.( 4x4x4 or NxNxN)
That would mean 26 rooms + 1 mainroom. The rooms would be connected through doors etc. in every direction another room is. That also means some rooms would have doors in the ground and some rooms of course would have doors in the top.
How the map could be played/designed?
We thought of a pretty free-roam experience. There can be several rooms you could reach at the beginning, but each room contains its own portal 2 room"map" which either openes the way to another room or unlocks something for the main room.
So you could choose which way to go first or if you aren`t successfull in some room yet you can switch to another and go on there.
More Ideas?
Well we thought, one the one hand we both are not very well experienced mappers and on the other hand this would be too much work for a single person.
So we thought of something like a community map.
Everyone can design a cube "room" and dependet on the amount of maps designed there can be a mapper group which puts all these maps together and builds the mainroom and completes the cube.
And?
Well, i hope you, the community, will post their opinions and ideas in this thread and maybe we can achieve something huge together.

A Cube-themed map with 27 different areas PLUS an outside area was already SINGLE-HANDEDLY made.
And I played it.
do you have a link?
but well, the map can get even bigger, imagine 100 people create a room for it...

well its portal 1 and maybe we can achieve a much bigger map which is much more complex and maybe even playable for coop.
A "The Cube" themed map needs to contain at least one puzzle where you have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out if a large even number is prime or not >.<
the Idea is great, i know all the cube films and i think with portal 2 we will have the technology to include features like CO-OP with more than 2 players or that the chambers move around like in the movie. im sure when enough people post their ideas this is going to be a great projekt.
I'm probably missing a joke or something, but...ah...
This is a pretty good idea, by the way.
Now with 100% more inline comments!

From imdb goofs section for Cube:
I found the movie fairly interesting up to that point, but seeing the math-wiz struggle trying to figure out if an even number is prime kinda ruined the rest for me :S
I think the concept of a Cube map, IE a series of identical rooms with varying traps and/or puzzles, would be really fun. But a shot-for-shot remake would be, frankly, boring in Portal.
And wow, really Player1? The fact that there was a screw up in the script or something ruined the entire movie for you? Learn to enjoy things and stop picking them apart for flaws. Geeze.
