This is a continuation of my previous map.The first chamber is pretty much done.

THE DOOR ON THE LEDGE IS THE END, FOR NOW.

refrain from voting until finished if you would plase

Rules of timetravel (In this map)
1. Portals do not persist through time
2. Objects can be brought back from the future, when placed in the immediate lit up zone
3. Objects cannot be taken to the future
4. Objects will persist through time, what is there in the past will be there in the future (For now, only in certain places that is goal-related as it's an butthole to code)

Any suggestions or input, wel anything at all really is appreciated

Stumped me.

Spoiler

I obtained the two weighted cubes and the redirection cube and got to the door, but I can't seem to figure out how to open it. In the future there is an extra laser emitter that isn't there in the past, but I'm not sure how to turn it on. Also, I don't know if the real "exit" is supposed to be in the future or past :-/

That said, I think where you're going with this is very, very cool. This has the potential to make some really hard puzzles! I'm excited.

Edit: Nevermind about being stuck -->

Spoiler

I noclipped around. The puzzle isn't finished yet. Sorry!

Same problem as the guy above me. Very awesome that you've managed to do this, though. I just get confused because you would think a cube gotten from the future, put in the past in the yellow hazard area would still be there when you went to the future again? I dunno, it's so confusing. But cool

^ The cubes are there in the future, but only in certain places so far, because it takes time to program it everywhere in the map.

And i should have made it clear, the door is the end for now, this is only the first room so far.

The first chamber is pretty much done, i Hope.

This is probably the most detailed out of my 3 maps that i've ever gone, and considering i need to decorate each chamber twice, it's taking AGES >_<

Door is still the end, i haven't even started the second chamber yet.

This is incredible. I wish I had your mapping skills!
