Thinking with Portals - Maps of the Week Looking for More Maps

pixxpixx · 05-26-2012, 03:49 AM

Hey everyone,

We have a podcast where we look some of the maps submitted by the community, and go show the ones which have interesting, fun or just play awesome mechanics.

We run this podcast to help get some of the smaller maps into the spotlight, so if you think you have a good map that needs some attention, this is just for you.

You can have a look at our previous episodes at:

http://youtu.be/OZ1aVh2heNY - Episode #2

If you'd like to submit a map, just send your community link to it to megnpixx@gmail.com or contact me on steam.

Thanks for all the awesome maps so far, looking forward to seeing more!

You might want to consider a new name. 'Thinking With Portals' is a popular Portal & Portal 2 mapping community that's been around for 5 years this September, so you might face some identity issues sticking with that name.

Further, ThinkWithPortals is the url for the *actual* Portal 2 website.

I'm personally getting tired of that phrase.

Hey again! RJackson is right, you may want to change the name.

I entered on the first week, but didn't get in. So I'm trying a different one. Here it is! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...s/?id=71959597

Have Fun!

Interesting.

I'll submit my test chambers.

Alexander Bell · 05-26-2012, 06:54 PM

I would submit one of mine but for some reason steam (and portal) cant figure out that I am indeed connected to the internet.... so I cant publish anything (all mine have updates ready and I have 1 and 1/4 maps ready to publish)

scott_m · 05-28-2012, 09:55 AM

I will submit a few.
These got buried in the first week and no one has seen them.

Oooh pick me pick me

I really want more feedback to improve my mapping (I find this addictive), but it's hard to get. Seeing people actually PLAY the map I think would be a great learning experience.

I really hope these get looked at. This will be the 3rd or fourth time I've posted my test chambers

Fling When You're Winning V2
(Considering changing the name to something shorter).

It's a Trap!
(Also considering changing the name but worried the new title would give too much away).

Edit: I also recorded a video of FWYWV2
