[SP] Gymnasium Part 2

Page 1 of 2Next

Another fitness test from the folks at Blapperture Mesa. Test subjects will once again be required to display speed and dexterity, though as always they will also be required to use their heads in order to proceed.

It's not really necessary to play Part 1 first, but you should anyway. You can find it here:

This should actually be a little easier than Part 1, I think, though some players might find a couple of new mechanics at play.

The map was started in the PTI editor and finished in Hammer. It's a little borderline whether I did enough to it to put in the [SP] section, so I won't begrudge a mod if they decide to move it. I would have liked to have done more work on the visual side of things but I'm off on a long holiday soon and wanted to get it out there before I go. Hope you all enjoy it!

That link to part 1 didn't work either, but it's in my sig.

Much tougher than Gymnasium 1 in my opinion, but I guess that's how work-out works. :)

People will either love or hate you for the solution for the weight-lifting. The solution for the funnel room is just awesome, very nice! The last room was fitting the sports theme better again, just great. 5/5!

Cheers zivi. Have updated the map to fix that boatload of exploits you found, so cheers for that as well! Have also shot my roommate who was supposed to be playtesting the thing.

I honestly thought it would be easier than the last map, but I guess it's really difficult to tell when you're the guy that made it....

Anyhow, here is how I got the cube inthe funnel room -

Spoiler
I got the cube in the funnel chamber by pinning against the drop with a funnel portal on the opposite wall, jumping down and placing a portal so it dropped and I caught it
.
Excellent map - thanks for creating...

@quatrus - Weird, the map should have been updated a good 9 hours ago to get rid of that solution (it's one of the many oversights that zivi7 pointed out). I just double checked by re-downloading through the Workshop; that particular portal surface should be black now.

I'm sorry if you had difficulty with the last part.

Spoiler
It's supposed to be a little more of a skill shot and less of a puzzle, but I tried to make it as easy as possible (cube-toss-challenged myself). With the player's momentum as they fly out of the wall panel it should just be a matter of a quick flick upwards - as long as you get it in the vertical ballpark it should find its way home.
Anyway, I understand if that bit's not your cup of tea. Glad you enjoyed the rest!

Good map with some pretty original puzzle ideas. Solution of the first puzzle was already used in The Ledge if I solved it the intended way.

It was pretty easy and it only took me about 5 min to solve it but I still enjoyed it.

Blindrun:

Great job and I hope we will see more maps from you!

That sure is a nice map you got there. It would be a shame if someone broke it.

Great video, cool that you recorded till the evaluation and that fade-out/slow-down music ending was pretty nice. What's the music?

Shakky: you solved mine the intended way, but I obviously found an exploit in The Ledge. I think I know the bit you mean, though - with two laser cubes in a small room, right?

Anyway, great vid and a nice bit of D&B. I'm impressed you got it so fast, if not a little disappointed; hoped it would be a bit more challenging than that... Still, glad you enjoyed it. I probably won't be putting any more maps out for a little while as I'm going on a big holiday soon, but check my sig for other maps I've made (Gymnasium 1 is my personal fave, probably).

@El Farmerino. Thanks alot! I will make sure to take a look when I have some spare time.

@zivi7. I'm glad you liked it! The song is Blood sugar by Pendulum.

That sure is a nice map you got there. It would be a shame if someone broke it.
