I haven't played the demo yet, but i wanted to answer your question about action and exploration. Personally, I think it would be good to make quite a distinct separating between action/exploration sections and puzzle sections. I find nothing more infuriating than a puzzle I have "solved", but cannot finish due to "action" pieces. I do not find it satisfying finishing a section after hundreds of failed tries.

Personally, i think you have an excellent *puzzle* concept, and should really focus on making sure it reaches it's potential before throwing in frustrating sections.

Wow! So, I played the tech demo and wasn't expecting much because of all the negative comments. Turned out it was actually pretty fun, when you get the hang of how the mechanics work. There were a few bugs, but other than that, a good start.

I played through quite a bit, but got stuck at the teleporter bot level; the one after the "bots as bridges" bit.

I would like to make some design suggestions. Sometimes it's quite difficult to tell between which floors I will be able to stand on within which reality, if you know what I mean. I think if you made all the "blue floors" blue, and the "red floors" red it would make it easier, instead of making all of them a standard grey.

I have to disagree with you. I feel a lot of games engines these days are clunky and constricted. I don't want to be prevented from looking left or right while sprinting, or be glued to a ladder so much.

I want to bunnyhop and snap-shot without having to use several buttons to increase my accuracy. For PC gaming, where users can perform these tricks, it should definitely be available. I don't want to be stuck in xbox mode.

Even if you don't beat Portal 2 to it, it still looks to be an awesome mod.

Keep up the good work. ;D

You know what's worse about complaining about having to pay?

Complaining about people complaining about having to pay. You pay, you play, be happy. If people want to grumble, then let them. Their choice.

People grumble about money all the time. In the end it comes down to if you buy it for not.

I just hope they don't use this game's popularity as an excuse for extortionate pricing. (*cough* COD *cough cough*)

You don't need to start portal. You need to look for the Blue Portals game in your games list.

I'm sorry to say this, but i hated it. I only got to test chamber 5 before giving up through boredom.

I liked portal because of the challenge it presented me through puzzle solving. I got the impression that because this was a portal mod, it would bring more puzzle solving challenge and satisfaction. I was obviously very wrong.

I saw that this was described as harder than portal, but i was a bit annoyed when i found out this difficulty did not come from trickier puzzles (like in P:TFV pack), but more from frustrating manoeuvres. In each of the chambers i played, there was no element of "puzzle", just rage-inducing challenges and timers.

Unless you're a masochist who has a lot of spare time, i don't see how you can enjoy this mod.

Why are there remakes of old games? Having a set "goal" is always a good thing to have. The goal of this mod is to replicate certain aspects of another game.

I know if i try and set goals out of thin air i end up giving up because i can never measure my progress. At least if you're comparing your work to someone else's you can see progress and motivate yourself.

This dev obviously just enjoys modding and has set himself a sensible goal for himself. He might not even have decided to share it with us.

If you look at it from that standpoint then yes. But the only reason YOU think of it like that is because you obviously don't understand the point of the game.

Admittedly, it's more like reading a book than playing a game. But the game can add interesting elements that are interesting, such as the curious cars in the water or the strange circuit diagrams.

The idea is to think about the narrative and piece something together that makes sense to you. It's exciting and frustrating; you think you understand something but one part doesn't quite fit in. It makes you think in depth indefinitely and for days after you will still be wondering what the f*** it's all about.

Why would you want a pistol? I mean, what would you use it for?

As for the other suggestions, i think adding some life and movement would be good. The remake will have stuff like swaying grass which will hopefully make the island feel less still.

I would like to see some sort of legs or hands put in so it doesn't just feel like you're just a floating head.

Could this be due to.. No, i can't get my hopes up.

WHAT HAPPENED TO WIZARD WARS?! It's so aweome, i really want to play it some more. Perhaps everyone could try and get some of your friends playing it and set up servers! I can't believe i missed playing this when it was first out! COME BACK WIZARD WARS!!!!

Very fun. However, i do prefer finding ways to use items as opposed to simply scouring the map looking for a tiny key. IMO solving puzzles is more fun than searching for items.

I gave it a quick play and was very confused indeed. I know its just a beta map but you could have given a more in-depth description of what the goal is, or even what i should do the the files i downloaded.

As for the puzzles, all of them we'e very straight forward apart from the last one, where i couldn't figure it out.

Overall, the puzzles need work. A lot of them just don't seem to make sense and can be solved by mindlessly whacking away at boxes. But, if, in the end, you make something as fun as Too Many Crates, i would love to play this.

If only you could try before you commit yourself to a download... that would stop people explaining. Problem is, everyone judges a game by how it looks. You could make the worst game in the world but add some flashy graphics and it would make someone say: "looks good!"

You could make the best game in the world but use old graphics and someone would say: "seen it before." UGH annoys me aswell hehe.

So, i'm gonna say that your mod urrm... emits vibes of fun...? xD
Looking forward to the release.

OK so theres a Movies.dll file in the plugins folder... i tried re-downloading and everything. I have no idea why it isn't working. Especially since one guy said he ran it just fine... hmmm some program i'm missing here?

Nope, im not getting it to work on Windows 7 64-bit either. Strange. Says the fault module is Movie.dll which makes me think im missing something...

Well, cos its free... its gonna have new content, not just gonna be a clone. The engines are different and i much prefer the source engine to the MW engine. And because they can. Maybe they just wanna see what they can do with source.

So much for the "fail kid troll mod" comments. This looks impressive. Tracking.

Also, noclip is... disabled? i can't move when i activate it. You may say it's to stop cheating but tbh, for beta testing, you should be able to check whether something is broken or not.

pzl_game01 map crashes my game completely too :P.

You tilt WAAAY too much when walking. It feels like im drunk.

Sweet work Ducksauce.

Ugh, how could you possibly share a PC? I just don't see it XD

Sharing an internet connection is bad enough for me. XD

Great mod. 9/10

Only 9 because it suffers from "where the hell am i?" syndrome. Basically, i didn't get a real feel of the place i was in because it was so large with so many different paths. Although i always got to where i needed to go eventually, i often had no idea how i'd got there :/

If you haven't fixed it already, try deleting your clientregistry.blob file. This will fix it.

Unfortunately, you can't decide to be on steam. Valve has to pick you. Obviously everyone is hoping for it and i personally think the mod is good enough but it depends what valve thinks.

Vita. It's latin for Life :)

No one plays 0.4 anymore, no. But there are LOADS of people just waiting to get their hands on the new version so stick around.

"What? I didn't win!!! THESE HAIKUS ARE BULLSHIZZLE!!! MINE WAS BETTER! YOU SUCK!"

What a great way to show your appreciation to the mod and developers. Please don't make a fool of yourself. :)

Grats to the winners!

If you read the comment below: No the winners have not been chosen yet (as far as i'm aware). Wills will let everyone know when the winner has been decided.

i'm sure if you keep checking back the winner will be revealed. I think Wills is very busy finishing the mod atm.
