Description
This map, set in 1980s, is about breaking the barriers.
NOT required: Glitches, or crazy accurate maneuvers (such as portal placement mid-air). But there are one or two points where you must act without hesitation.

A complimentary pit of goo is provided for suicide in case you mess up.
A complimentary walk-through video can be watched here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C67QjBfeu0o

#F4F : Rate and comment on this map and I will do the same for one of your maps!
#HMWmod #Stylesmod #BEEMOD #FGemod Used a couple of mods in the making.

P.S. I appreciate if you can record your blind playthrough as a set of .dem files or as a YouTube video! I love watching those, and they are invaluable developer feedback. I will do the same for your map.

Good job Tropiko! How nice that you _eventually_ figured out the deal! The scare in the beginning was there precisely to teach you about the property of breakable glasses and what can break them . You didn't find the safest way to do that (there are several), but at least you achieved it.
As for the suicide option, it is there in case you stubbornly destroy the turret and the four backup turrets , making the map unsolvable.

I can see why this has lower ratings. It takes some patience to get the cube out.
Is it the 1980s? I have to replay the campaign, I remember Aperture having many iterations of the style and logos of the chambers. An otherwise good description, I don't see why I'd need to suicide though, I could find a way out in the end. I didn't expect the last bit to be so easy yet it took me so long. :conwayshrug:

I wouldn't have figured out the glass-breaking trick without reading Tocinca's comment. Tricky. Good puzzle. Thanks.

Thanks for testing! The last part becomes relatively easy when you jump into the portal instead of just falling into it .

Epic.. Loving this classic :p2aperture: maps! I had a rough time getting to the exit at the end.. but just kept trying till i got it. Job well done!

Very well. I have updated the map so that you can't even get a lucky shot to the end of the funnel from downstairs.

I didn't actually see the surface. I just shot in the dark and got it anyway.

You're not really supposed to see the surface at the end of the funnel from the room beneath. Did you? Such sight is not part of the intended solution. If you did, I may have to adjust the chamber.
The "surprise" was intended to serve as a lesson of a mechanics needed in the chamber. In army terms: This will shown to you once. After that, you are expected to have learned it.
As for other ways of breaking the glass; there aren't any that I know, that could be used in this chamber. Explosive bombs would do it, but we don't have them in this chamber. Momentum doesn't seem to make it. It is a stock element, so I can't just make up physics for it.
Thanks for the comment.

Well, I caught on to the surprise that the chamber was equipped with standard, not-at-all bullet resistant glass pretty quick, but by the time I saw what was going on with the cube, I already killed the first turret. So it's a good thing there were those other turrets. Maybe if there was another way to break the glass, with momentum maybe? I liked the rest of the chamber, but it's hard to see the surface at the end of the funnel from the room beneath.

I'll have to take a rain cheque on map testing, since my first map is still in development.
Bisqwit  [author] 2 Jun, 2013 @ 10:09pm 
Allright. I updated the map. In case one misses the first lesson, there's now a backup lesson, even better than the original. Missing the backup lesson takes real dedication on ignorance, I think. I hope!
