Portal: Prelude, as its name implies, is an unofficial prequel to the game Portal. Its story revolves around the pre-GlaDOS epoch way before she was plugged in. Back then, test subjects were still monitored by real Aperture Science employees, a tedious, dull, and repetitive job. One of the reasons why they decided to build a great artificial intelligence that could both replace them for these complex tasks and also take responsibility for many other functions within the complex while competing with Black Mesa's superiority. All employees of the Aperture Science complex are now eagerly awaiting GlaDOS. A little too eagerly maybe, as the unfolding events will tell... This game is totally free. It offers a bit more gameplay hours than the original Portal, with 8 chapters, 19 test chambers, 48 challenges, 6 advanced maps, a brand new storyline and more than 400 lines of English dialogue with dozens of subtitles languages.
Here we are, Day One. The trailer is up and running.

The trailer is up and running, the news is posted on forty of the most important Half-Life related websites of the world, and I'm anxious as I've never ever been. I really hope you will enjoy what we did. We worked hard during eight months to bring this game to you. If you have any question, please ask in the forums.
Some screenshots...
The trailer so far...
DUDE MUST HAVE!!
Wow, Portal is one of my favorite games :D
I hope this will be good, I'll be watching this Mod
Looks promising so far :) If you want, I could translate the game from english to finnish. As for previous work, I did finnish subtitles for the "Get a Life" mod.
If you are interested, feel free to pm, or mail me :P

Looks like an awesome mod btw ( better than the actual game? )!
Happy Modding!
Nice idea man, keep up the hard work and I hope this mod succeeds!
nice. been waiting for a good mod for portal.
Looks awesome. It has everything to be a huge success.
Dugg it, I'm excited for this. Forty news sites, people should watch this mod just to see how PR is handled :P
Yeah this team has done an amazing job. Extremely polished site, trailer, screens, wallpapers, logos, icons - the works. Organized brilliantly

Can't wait to tackle more Portal Puzzles
But you dont play games i thought :P
well i played portal, and i'll be playing dsytopia tonight so i'm turning a new leaf slowly
Very nice. Looks like a must have.
Excellent work guys, looks great...
This looks so great! I will be one of the 10 first to download! (at least I will try ;))
I'm looking forward to this :)
Wow This Looks Great.
Lets hope that this Project doesnt dy like the other portal mods. (dont think so but jeah... XD)
Will there also be new features? it looks the the boxes behave different (wasnt there one hanging on a wall?)
Woah, now that's the way to announce a mod! :D
I think you've chosen the right time to announce your mod.
Not too early, where pre-pre-alpha screenshots and videos (or nothing at all) may deter people away from the mod, neither too late, so you're able to generate some PR/hype.
As for the mod: looking great, probably gonna be that too.
Edit: Was about to ask if this was another mappack, then I checked your site. ;)
Will you try to implement the same kind of humor as in the original Portal?
If you do, thread lightly, it's a dangerous path!
Very nice, I hope valve recognizes you for your work as well as the rest of the gaming community. However I doubt valve will since there working on their own Portal Prelude.. Of course were talking about Valve and not EA. Good thing this isn't an EA mod or you might have gotten a very angry letter!
I'm really lookin' forward to this :D
LP Music!!!
Respect )))
Awesome looking...can't wait to play it!
Let's just hope Valve hires you for the sake of humanity. Looks freaking awesome!
Well written news post. I'm watching. :D
