Heh, reading the description I thought playing with the indicator lights would be a bit tedious, but you've done a really nice job of it, and it works well It took a wee while to get used to, but when the map opened up it got really cool. Nice ending btw, I raged for a minute. Thanks!

This is a really good idea, and the puzzles were well built. However - the lighting seemed a bit weird which made the bts puzzle harder than it should be. (I aimlessly wondered the two 'chambers' for 5 minutes until I saw the portable surface near the door...) And this happened when I was stuck in the observation room desperately trying to find a portable surface in the test chamber.
One more thing, I also playeded your map with mat_wireframe on and my computer was rendering the whole map, even parts behind sealed doors. You might want to give it an optimization pass if you want more people to enjoy this map.
Oh and last, but not least, [spoiler]in the third chamber I had accidentally missed the chance to capture the cube with the funnel, and I had to wait for the timer to go off to try again. I suggest you either make the cube a separate button, or make it auto spwan.[/spoiler]

Nice work!

This is my playthrough of this map. In order to not influence the opinion of anyone, I won't say what I think about this map yet. Have fun watching the video and get your own opinion about the map for now

Nice puzzles, but I agree with Kiwi about both the lighting and the long timer in the end room - should be resettable.

One other thing - [spoiler]you can save yourself at the end by shooting the lightbridge at the wall in front of you, but then it just ends anyway. It would be cool to have some kind of little reward for those that manage it...[/spoiler]

Pretty cool map. I have only one thing to add to the comments above: the grates need to be sealed for cubes as well as players. I lost a cube near the exit door and had to start that section over again. Also, you don't need the lightbridge to hold the cube to bridge the gap; just place it anywhere near the edge.

Thank you all for the feedback! Djinndrache's video broke my map very badly, so I'll try to respond to some of the strangeness:
00:51: That cube should have respawned. It does at least for me.
06:15: The weird white area should have been a custom poster. I did pack the .vmt and .vtf into the bsp using pakrat - was there anything else I had to do?
07:01: You were supposed to crouch through the window. Thus, you missed a trigger that opened up a Wheatley screen and did some other stuff in the chamber. (The weirdly lit place at 07:16 was supposed to be a Wheatley monitor)
09:58: ...wut? I've never had that happen. I'm assuming you got stuck in the ceiling.
13:40: Again, I've never had that happen, but I'll bet the cube kept entering and leaving the trigger.

These bugs will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for breaking my map!

@El Farmerino: Nice catch. Good idea, I'll make that a reward.

@RogerL: Hmm, there is a func_clip_vphysics over the grate so cubes shouldn't go through. Can you tell me exactly how that happened? Also, nice catch on not requiring a light bridge.

@Mr. P. Kiwi: Good idea, I shouldn't have expected players to be able to catch the cube the first time.

Thank you all again for the feedback!

Too bad I missed that, I like Wheatley

Yes. Also started to have weird mouse reactions here. But I don't assume it to be about your map. Added an annotation to explain my weird mouse shaking though :p (a few seconds after this)

Yes, the cube was still in the funnel in the other room, and there on top the cube had a hot time with the trigger

Great to hear, but please don't forget that you may not update the map before the judgement is over. Otherwise you may get disqualified for applying updates after the contest ended.

Of course, wouldn't want my map disqualified.
