Thanks! I've fixed up the fog and lighting so it resembles art therapy more. It's currently doing its final compile as I type this, so yay!

i was wondering where you dissapeared to! i want to play this map really really badly, and part of the reason is the creative way the giant fan is used. finally sombody gets how to use it.
mirror's edge aesthetics are perfect for this sort of thing.better get some medge-like music to go with it.
Exactly,

Thank you, it's more than one map, that's why this might still take a bit more time to finish.

That spiky-looking wall art, is that one texture, or is every colour a separate wall piece? (The latter may cause visual glitches and/or optimisation problems.)
It looks cool, although I think that the mix between stark solid colours and grungy / industrial textures is not ideal, especially in the first image. Maybe all it needs is some trim or detail around the edges between the clean and grungy styles.

What have I done?!Excellent question. Next question: is that a custom texture? Or 2 portals overlapping each other?
(Possible mirror prototype?)

Quote from FelixGriffin on February 23, 2014, 12:32 pmOh, I hadn't even thought of using it for the mirrors. That would make sense.
A glitch in my Adhesion Gel script caused the portals to get stuck to each other and always appear in the same place. I still don't know why the portal placement restrictions didn't just make them disappear.

It's almost done.

There are no problems with optimization, the wall mirror's edge stylish looking thing is seperated textures (just colors) and they all use the same normal, so no glitches or optimization problem.
I test on low end setup too.I was thinking about doing something like your suggestion, it's not easy to mix Portal 2 and Mirror's edge styles so need to do lots of thinking.
Thanks for the feedback.
