Back-Stock Promotional Picture

"Back-Stock" takes place after the events of Portal 2, as you are one of the test subjects found in the human vault at the end of Portal 2 co-op.
You are not being tested my GLaDOS directly, she has divided up the thousands of test subjects, and assigned them to other personality constructs, for testing.
You will go through the newly finished Aperture Science's Testing chambers, face new test solving techniques, and see new testing elements. Aperture has truly reached its prime.
This is only the beginning of the story, the rest is very engaging. We've designed this to be a story driven mod.
Throughout this mod you will encounter new game-changing mechanics, and chamber solving styles. Since you are a new test participant you will relearn the basics, and many basics that portal1,2 taught. when you complete Back-Stock you will naturally think in ways you never would have before, and you will think with portals.

The Back-Stock Team:
(Ben) BenVlodgi: Mod design, level design, level creation, texture creation, and story writer
(Chris) Another Bad Pun: Level design, level creation
(Tom) relinquish152:Level design, level creation   
(Amit) :Level design, level creation 
(August) shad0w440: Animations
(Jack) jumpinjax94 : Website

For those interested, Portal 2 Back-Stock and Afterword are working together for your benefit. 
The bulk of Afterword takes place after the events of Portal.
Portal 2 Back-Stock takes place after the events of Portal 2 Coop
In no way are we merging our mods, nor do you need to play one to understand the other, they will still be completely standalone campaigns. However we have come to realize that we share many of the same new elements not in the original game. So our team leaders, Patstarr of Afterword, and BenVlodgi of Portal 2 Back-Stock are working together to make these elements look and act the same way in both mods. By doing this we will reduce any confusion with these new elements, and you will be able to transfer your skills from one mod to the next.

probably not, because if I release the first 5 maps now, they wouldn't include any of the dialog or music that they will when we release, that goes for any chamber, and I really want people's first play through to include the story. However there are some voiceless puzzles released on ThinkingWithPortals.com
Here is one of them
Forums.thinkingwithportals.com
However they are early versions of any chambers that will actually be in Back-Stock

Don't worry, the mod follows the same learning pattern that portal 1, and 2 had. It would be a good idea if you replay portal 2 before you play this mod, because it will make some assumptions that you are well versed it portaling techniques. The mod continues to teach you some of the more advanced portaling moves, none of these will require super ninja moves.
Back-Stock will teach you more advanced ways of thinking, including using portals in ways you never thought of before

Oh well then it shouldn't be too much of a problem. It does get difficult... there are a lot of new ways of thinking with portals that people never really think about, but you'll have to use here.
I'm sure you'll do fine ;)
