Yes! Shine some light on us new and confused mapmakers!

so you'll also be doing stuff on dynamic music, etc.? cool!

First, I'm really sorry for bumping this up from page four, but I wanted your opinion; before I do the dynamic music tutorial and e Wheatley destroyed tutorial (I kind of temporarily lost motivation, sorry), would a series on entities be useful? More for beginners, I was thinking of splitting it into three parts; logic entities, physics entities and Portal-specific entities. It would help new mappers get to know these entities a bit better; logic entities are, in particular, vital in good maps, yet often misunderstood. Does this sound good? The idea just popped into my head all of a sudden while I was being dragged into Italy.

I feel like there are a lot of tutorials on interlopers/VDC on entities that do a good enough job, but there are a lack of good aesthetics/dynamic music/etc. tutorials and things you were covering out there in those places for Portal 2, so I think you should keep doing what you're doing.

Yeah, I agree with Vordwann.

Ok, thanks; I suppose when I get home I'd better stop procrastinating. :D

I'm looking for custom music to use in my maps. Obviously, I would be breaking copyright laws, (I think,) by uploading a map with someone else's music in it, so I won't be distributing the custom music maps, unless I make the music myself.

Right now, all I have is to use some music from Mirror's Edge (Shard-Puzzle)

And a high quality exile vilify.

Any other ideas for custom puzzle (or escape) music? Specific themes would also be nice!

Will there ever be a music tutorial? :(

I, uh, well, kind of, eventually, but I'm really busy now with the book I'm writing. So, don't expect anything until... Well, I dunno. Maybe, just maybe, never. Sorry. :( If someone else wants totals up the gauntlet, they're more than welcomemto; otherwise, you're stuck waiting until February.
