Is there a way to get Portal 2 Beta?

[ProgSys]

I am more a modeler but i have mapping experience. To be a part of the beta would be really interesting.

Some of my work

I would love to help betatest.

I have betatested many games before, I'm actively involved in the development of Nifflas games (http://nifflas.ni2.se) and help him improve the game before it reaches the first beta stage. I know what to look for when it comes to providing feedback.

In addition, I have a Razer Hydra controller which I can use to test certain aspects (where applicable)

I do have experience in mapping with the Q3Radiant tools, but haven't yet tried hammer, so I know what makes a good map. Also, as php developer, I might be able to give some feedback on the webinterface.

Feel free to add me to the queue, too.

I am creating a mod specifically for the Sixense Motionpack owners and have 400+ hours on record in Portal 2 Hammer.
Everything is WIP so i won't post any screenshots/videos yet.

[Gnengi]

Count me in, I guess.

I'm not exactly a great mapmaker or anything; just had a lot of experience in Portal 2 (having played over 70 hours of it!)

Also, I usually play on a mac, so I guess I could test to see if it works properly on OSX, supposing you're developing the tools for it (I know that the current tools aren't).

Name drop I can do.

Used Hammer for many many years (just never really released anything). I enjoyed making a lot of different things mainly.

This is as good a place as any to apply, I guess, so if you're interested just drop your name here and we'll periodically take some of your names to add to the queue. If you've published some good Portal 2 maps, feel free to link them here. Fair warning: beta key handouts are at our discretion and this isn't a formal first-come-first-serve queue, just a place to put your name in the hopper.

id like a place on that list

I would like to participate in the beta, but I don't think i would be able to make proper reports, so I think i prefeer to wait until the beta is finished and the second DLC is released.

[blindmind]

I am a Portal 2 speedruner, tho I haven't made a single Portal 2 map, I have tried Hammer, but just barely. So if you need a speedruner, I would love to beta test it.

[Virzy]

Sure, I'll throw my name in here to beta-test.

I'm absolutely atrocious at Hammer so I'm waiting for the second DLC so I can try to make some of the ideas I have.

I'm definitely interested in this. I've released 1 WIP map so far, about halfway making a co-op one now.

Well, i'm more a graphic artist than a mapper but hell, count me in =p

I'd be interested in beta testing. Thanks for the opportunity Odessa.

Omg.

I'd love to apply. I'm very fond of making portal maps, but hammer crashes for me at least once per 10 minutes, i'd love a more reliable way of churning them out!


I have some examples of maps i made, not many because of the problems i mentioned

I'd be very curious to see how the new editor changes or limits our freedom to make maps compared to HWE

561 hrs on record Portal 2
at least 700 on record SDK. (though only says 200 for some reason, it reset a few months back)

I guess i'll try my chances at getting into the beta. Experience with Hammer: I opened it twice and messed around with it for a few minutes.
