Quote from Motanum on December 8, 2010, 5:49 pmThanks for the videos! Gonna watch them soon.
Emmm, I dunno if I am supposed to say this, but the maze is supposed to look harder than what it actually is. I actually design it so it is more linear than what it looks like ^^
I would appreciate for people to NOT watch the videos until after you have completed the maps.
Thanks, and good look on your map Mevious! I still have to finish it, it is quite hard.

Quote from p0rtalplayer on December 10, 2010, 4:32 pmIt was a pretty ok map. Not horribly, but not great either. The puzzles weren't exactly "fun," but were solvable with relatively little problems. I think some more work on polishing could be used, just to try to get it a little closer to the valve standard.
the ending
[spoiler]it was rather expected and not very well delivered (tts may sound robotic but it sounds really bad when used as glados), and the final room didn't seem very polished[/spoiler]

Quote from JackSafari on December 11, 2010, 10:06 pmI thought this map was pretty decent. It was fun to play and the puzzles were good. The only section I did not care for all that much was the section with the small rooms linked together in the 3D maze. That was the weakest part of the map. I have played a couple of other maps that have used pipes to links rooms together and so far I have not seen it done too well. It is easy for players to get confused and lost, which results in frustration. In Portal, a player shouldn't ever get to a point of confusion that they no sense of where they are or where they should go.
I like map designs that look harder than they are. I thought the chambers in MotanumsTest did a pretty decent job of looking intimidating, but they all had solutions were pretty straight forward when I took the time to study the puzzle. Even the linked rooms wasn't too bad after I figured out that basically no matter what the puzzle was designed so that the player would find the cube even by randomly picking any direction. It was my least favorite, because there really wasn't a puzzle for me to solve, but I can see how it could have been much worse if a player was forced to logically try to find a specific path to the cube like in a maze that has a dozen of dead ends. If that had been the case I would have quit before I finished.
I'll play it again and if more comments come to mind I will post them.

Quote from hanging_rope on December 12, 2010, 12:17 amI enjoyed this map, but one thing that kept bugging me was the fact that some of these puzzles where the same thing again and again and again, such as that [spoiler]fling where you go down from the ceiling, shoot a portal while falling and so on. You know what I mean.[/spoiler] That turned a chore after the 2nd time, because you already knew what needed to be done.

Quote from Krogglidor on December 13, 2010, 12:10 amThis is my first run through the map (it is a slightly earlier version since I tested it) I would have given this a 5/5 but I didn't want to seem, well bias.
In 1080p too

"Oh, here, do that fling you did in the past 3 chambers. Again."
But like I said, the rest was great.

Quote from andrewmyles on April 7, 2013, 11:08 amIt was a very enjoyable map. At some point it seemed that you run out of option to properly "start" a chamber [spoiler](I'm talking about two chambers where you have to do the big jump at the beginning)[/spoiler], but then the [spoiler]"cheating" part made everything better[/spoiler]. The last [spoiler]three cube test[/spoiler] was very satisfying, though I am almost certain I could [spoiler]get stuck with two cubes while trying top reach for the third one.[/spoiler] Oh, and the reference to the [spoiler]movie "Cube" was a big plus for me.[/spoiler] The way of navigating throughout it was sort of a innovation for me, and it made me feel genuinely trapped! The ending was interesting one, it felt almost like [spoiler]an unofficial ending to portal[/spoiler].
Now I'm going to play the "Main four" map. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be as good as this on-
