Map Description

This map series was inspired by the Portal games. This is a Half-Life map series in the style of Portal, but using the HL editor. When I first started this mapping project I wasn't sure if it would even be possible to use HL1 to make Portal like maps, but I was very surprised by the results...and I think you will be too. Enjoy!

You must make it through each of the tests. After progressing through seemingly endless tests you start to wonder if you will ever be able to get out of the testing area. Can you get out or will you be testing forever?

This map states that it is out of beta, but depending on how this map is received more content may be added later.

Also, just a reminder that this is a puzzle based game and does not contain combat.

Realms is complete now for tests 1-5. I hope you enjoy it!

It has been a while since I worked on this series but I thought I would let everyone know of the current progress.

So far I have a total of 4 tests finished, started test 5, and have finished a basic hub map, so that I can easily add possible future expansions.

I think when I get the time I will finish test 5 and then I will post it as sort of a test to see how the mapping community receives, and then based off that then I may release (at some point) additional tests.

My classes and work have been very demanding on my time lately so I am not sure when I will be able to finish this (or my other in progress maps) but I will try to get them going again. Especially whenever I get some vacation time! Thanks for your interest!

I think I once saw a video of all the types of gel in the HL1 engine.
That's neat. I never knew about that.
Good luck on the map
Thanks!

Ah no that's all right! Take your time, it's just that your description made me think it was finished.

I think I once saw a video of all the types of gel in the HL1 engine. Yeah, the engine can do a lot indeed :)

Good luck on the map

New screenshot uploaded: Blue Mobility Gel and a tube dispenser. The Half-Life engine can do some amazing things when you know what you are doing! :hee:

This map is not finished yet. I have 3 tests completed and am getting ready to start the fourth. However, it will probably be a while before it is completed though.

This looks neat! I wish I had come up with this idea as well haha.

Is this map finished? I don't see a download link
