Nice. Light bridge the new laser. Now you just need some adjustable reflectors.

Cool concept. I can see some good use with this, as unlike lasers these can be used to block turrets/exits/flings or keep cubes up at the same time. The emitted light looked nice, especially upon activation. The brushwork could use some work, though, if you ask me. Right now it's just a lumpy black box.

I would be delighted to see more - and harder - puzzles with this. The level of detail is now ofcourse a standard you should maintain (so tough luck ) and I'm wondering what the Light Cube will turn out to do exactly.

PS: Noticed you're not the only one to come up with light catchers. If you want to represent yourself as the premier innovator or something in this area, you should step it up and make fairly hard, nice-looking maps with interesting concepts. Good luck, rooting for ya'!

This concept would work well in a puzzle with the reflectors in the free thought map.

Thanks! Though I don't really know what to do with brushwork of the activator.

Well, let me see... It's not that easy, but try to make it look a bit like the Hard Light Emitter, perhaps even 'steal' the model and make it non-solid (to keep that nice light and bridge catching effect you have). Of course this is all optional, you could try clipping the edges, retexturing, or doing nothing at all.

I recorded my blind playthrough, although in a map this short and simple I doubt that it will show you anything you didn't already know.

[spoiler]rCdCNVEsCH8[/spoiler]This mechanic has good potential for puzzle-making. I'm looking forward to seeing a proper puzzle with this.

I love this concept. I hope to see some very unique maps made in the future with this element.

I have to agree with RubyCarbuncle: I love this concept.
I can see some interesting puzzles with this in singleplayer but I think it's gonna be the best in multiplayer! Can't wait to see a mp map with this

EDIT:
One thing I didn't really like is the high contrast between the dark metal and light metal textures. I would have preferred having only one of the two.

Nice concept, I'd like to see some more complex puzzles with this element.
