Portal 2 Puzzle Creator

Solo map

I created this map during my year at Campus ADN. The objective was to create a difficult,
“DLC Quality” map for Portal 2 using the in-game puzzle maker.

Intent

  • Create a difficult map
  • 3-minute walkthrough time
  • Mechanics and Ingredients
    • Blue and orange gels
    • Cubes/Buttons
    • Lasers
    • Gravity Beams
    • Light Bridges

Preview of the map and its sections

From the very first draft on paper to the final version.

Feedback received

  • Too many mechanics used
  • Objectives sometimes unclear to the players
  • Walkthrough is a bit too long

Possible improvements based on feedback

  • Number of mechanics and ingredients
    • Focus on gels, gravity beams and light bridges
  • Clarity of objectives and walkthrough time
    • Modification of the second section’s layout to put the exit in the player’s sight on arrival
    • Removal of the last section of the puzzle, which uses mechanics that are out of the previously outlined scope
