    In all fairness it was late when I recored this and things were flashing themselves at me.

    Thanks for playing! Hope you'll enjoy the mod!
    When I saw the original puzzle I absolutely loved it. The way you switch the light bridge for the funnel, how you have to get the cube to the second level but not actually put it on the button and how you simply need to respawn it at the end. Such elegant puzzles are rare. I just had to add my visual touch to it.
    You can enter the easter egg room by walking on the broken debris in the water. There's a small island in the corner with a lot of plants where you can jump down from the platform on the middle level. It's not my best secret, I'll admit that, the door is really distracting and I didn't even consider the attention grabbing effects of the flashing light when I made this.

      What coding options are available in Hammer Editor? I know Python is one of them, but I may have seen some C++. I want to really confirm what options are available so maybe I can make a map with some custom elements. I personally know C#, and if C++ is an option, it would be useful to know as it would indicate to me an easier code language transition pathway rather than if I tried to learn Python (if that makes any sense).

      Thank you for reccomending it, great choice, i love maps that look great like this and also have a good puzzle, even if i blindly miss the simplest of moves for ages like this time, and yeah i've had Revolution in my steam wishlist for a while now, it looks amazing.
      Thanks again and thank you for watching too! :)

    0:43 - As a playtester for said mod, I can confirm that it is indeed very pretty and very fun :)
    1:57 - Or maybe it's your future prison cell :)
    2:27 - I refuse to believe you don't inject these innuendos deliberately
    11:06 - 🎉🎉🎉
    17:18 - So glad you finally realized the much, much simpler solution 😅
    19:32 - If my memory serves me right, yours doesn't :P
    24:10 - With a liiiittle bit more coordination you could, but I'm pretty sure that jumping, landing and _then_ shooting won't ever work :P
    31:19 - Maybe it's just sneezing because it's cold?
    32:48 - If you're meant to go from the outside, then you could jump down into the pool (menacing pool dive) onto the bit of debris conveniently floating next to the wall on the goo. Walk all the way to the hole, crawl through and bridge across ;)
    Great video as per usual :D

      2:27 ...maybe i do, maybe i don't ;)
      11:06 how oblivious i was to that was so frustrating to see whilst editing.
      17:18 ...eventually yes, some really long bits of over complicating in this one :)
      19:32 my short term memory is awful
      24:10 i promise you i was spamming the buttons so much that at least one of them should of accidentally worked :D
      31:19 Aperture, even our sentient mechanical wall structures are advanced enough to sneeze
      32:48 i didn't even think to try that, i never trust bits of debris in the goo to physically exist anymore, i know i've tried them in other maps and fallen straight through because they're just decorative. Or are you saying that particular model of debris goo, is always actually physical?
      Great comment as always, much love, more replies inbound :D

    6:59 -- a lotof these edges could be accessible via airstrafe but I guess that's cheeky anyways
    10:11 -- YES. Go back from that blue portal down below. Honestly didn't see it before you did it here
    11:52 -- Just move the blue under the cube on the other side and be done with it? You did do it later eventually
    20:39 -- why respawn the cube? could just take the one you had there
    24:24 -- cmon don't give up on the easter egg :(
    30:46 -- respawn was smart. I was dreading the transport of cube from the other side
    32:57 -- thanks for not giving up. though I think you might be able to jump and airstrafe into the secret hole you showed via the railing near the funnel? or is that too difficult and there's goo everywhere that kills you? gotta try this map out to find out
    Gorgeous map. Love the style, the music and the overall viibe. Added the "Portal Revolution" mod to my wishlist! Thanks fot the recommendation :)
    Why are you no longer putting the video number in the series btw?

      @ngeruma  10 місяців тому

      Hey sorry for the very late reply again, trying to catch up again today.
      6:59 i think you're right, some spots like that could probably of been done with a risky air strafe.
      10:11 watching this one back it seems so blatant now lol.
      11:52 your'e right, that simple move went completely over my head as well lol, didn't even spot that till reading your comment now lol.
      20:39 again your'e right, a respawn wasn't needed at all there.
      24:24 turns out from @StefanH's comment that this was a way back only.
      30:46 i was too :) glad it wasn't needed.
      32:57 spoiler bellow incase you still want to try and work it out.....
      Thank you for checking out Portal Revolution, it looks awesome, MysticalAva is also working on it too!
      I've sort of ditched the numbering thing for these (although it's still technically in the description now), the idea was that if i don't have to always produce them in the order they are going to be published then hopefully i can get and do more, more often, it's sort of working out for now, i also wanted to really simplify the thumbnails it felt like it made some look too cluttered with all the text and icons on blocking the view of some really pretty map screenshots.
      As always, thank you so much for still watching and commenting and again sorry for the late replies :D

      so apparently, those bit of debris actually physically exist and you can just walk over to that hole! i didn't even consider that, i never trust those debris in the goo models, i've tried them in previous maps and fallen straight through them lol
