map inspired by a mod (Half-Life 2 or Portal 2)
My goodness... a quadruple post! Ladies and gentlemen, I think this is a record-breaker! Where's josepezdj when you need him?

Back on topic...
Sounds good though, I'd love to play it once it's done. 
Posting the same thing in both forums probably isn't a good idea btw.
Unless I feel inspired to listen to thousands of Portal 2 sounds files, I have no choice but to "punish" the player in creative ways. I am simply trying to make a unique experience. I'm not tryinf to tell a story of any kind.
To create a unique experience you aren't limited to Portal 2's dialogue. Record some of your own, or even just add in text. What made that mod so good IMHO was the narrator. The rest was okay, but the narrator turned the paths of boring hallways into an exciting, witty funhouse.

Just make sure this can't be broken with any common glitches (or at least try). Like a timer that opens a door, but you can almost reach it. Simple to wallstrafe to it. Or anything with an exfu, remember to turn that off should the player advance to prevent an infinite glitch.
Also. Neurotoxin, Incinerator, Companion cube stab, and don't forget the cake in there somewhere.
Ugh, the point of the Stanley Parable was not to have 'a few creative deaths' for every route. The Stanley Parable actually had something to say. So if you say you don't want to bother with any kind of story, fine, but it's not 'that kind of decision making', it's simply a Portal 2 mod where you try a few alternate routes to see 'how you die'. Portal: Prelude had some spots where the designers got sadistic, and if you got stuck the scientists would enjoy your predicament and kill you off. That was probably more interesting than this idea.
I'm going to play your map, by the way, the concept sounds good.
That would be cool. I might even make it so the player is unable to knock the turrets over. Maybe have the turrets descend from the ceiling just as the player is about hit a button to open the exit door. Hehe >:)
That's a good idea, as well. Or you make a gel-death. A speedramp with a platform to land on.
Like that.
I never said I was attempting to recreate the "Stanley Parable". I merely said it inspired me. The "Stanley Parable" has no real message that I could see. The only thing it has to say is that gamers are often given the illusion of choice. This is hardly "just a Portal 2 mod where you ... see how you die." I am glad I don't have to trust your word as to the quality of this map. If you don't like it, that's fine. You don't have to play it.
In that instance, a method called gel-strafing could be used for extra speed mixed wit the propulsion gel crouch glitch could cause difficulty. Only if you want to make this completely foolproof. I can just add to this instead of making stupid posts for every scenario you think of.
A wall of lazers!! You walk into the room, the door slams shut. There are no lights, for a few seconds. Then a large, red spotlight turns on. And finally, the wall of lazers comes on, shooting you to pieces!

some good ideas so far folks. I have already decided to use the "Ring of Turrets" and "gel-death" as two of the death types. If I can think of a good place to put them I might add some of the other ideas as traps instead of deaths. Thank you to everyone for your ideas and keep 'em coming.
Walk into a room, door closes behind you. The room is 512?512. The floor begins dropping panel by panel, 64?64 units. Right when the final panel is still standing.
