[WIP] [WIP] Enrichment Sphere, 1952
That's exactly why I'm putting this here in WIP, and seeking your help. Thanks very much for everything you've said. I shall study these videos carefully...
"Such monstrous sucking-constructions aren't built within one afternoon"
There's a few things that I enjoy about this map and a few glaring problems that need a good deal of work. First and foremost, the biggest issue here is the exploits - it's very easy to portal snipe around the map. This is because of the "open" feeling you've given the map and the liberal use of grates and gaps. Visually, it's interesting, but it's easily exploitable.
Second, it's very difficult to tell exactly what the next step is in your map. The first puzzle was a tad congested and we didn't get a very good view on why the button and box and opening/closing wall was important. The second puzzle is also odd - there's a homemade crusher, yet it moves too slow to provide any threat. I didn't use any speed gel in that area except to get up to the next puzzle. The final puzzle is also a bit perplexing - why were the two white walls facing each other important? I used the method found in xdiesp's video as the way to get up there. Maybe using the speed gel to propel yourself up was also a solution? I'd like to see that method a bit more reinforced, because it'd be way more interesting than just using the repulsion gel.
I think with some work, you can really get these kinds of maps to go places. Work on the exploits and making your areas organized and clear, and I think you will be set, my friend.
Oddness is what I'm all about. Thanks for your comments. Expect a new release soon with a revised layout.

Thank you, thank you very much everyone!
xD
I'm playing custom maps and record my first time of playing them. So the run is not perfect and may not use only intended ways, but maybe it can let you see how other people may understand the map or you could just enjoy someone playing this map for entertainment.
Anyways, here is the recording:

Also note the video description for more feedback and my signature for additional project information.

That video was genuinely fascinating, especially the first part. Thank you muchly for it! Your experience, and figuring things out is pretty much what I wanted. Again, thanks.
Both of the exits need to be more fiendish :-p

So how long will it be before v2 is released?
Wait, which map was the 1st map in the series?
