The newest update to Hazmat's Portal Map pack will be here very soon, with Hazmat's Portal Map Pack v.2 marking the second full release of my mod. Of the many adjustments and updates I've made in this version, the most prominent is the re-introduction of a cut puzzle in Test Chamber 05, which I hope will add variety and challenge to the gameplay.
Hazmat's Portal Map Pack v.2 is a full release and does not require v.1 to work. The download page will be up in 1 day, after a long time in development. As with before, don't hesitate to note any bugs or issues, or comments in general, on the mod page, as V.2 will receive updates and patches if needed.
If you play the mod and upload your gameplay, I am encouraging all players to post their gameplay in the comments below.
When I initially released Hazmat's Portal Map Pack v.1 in 2015, I missed some opportunities to further optimize the levels and do additional bug testing. I've now taken the time to further improve the mod, and hopefully it will be an even better experience now. I'd like to thank everyone who played v.1 and also nPen, Drakeworkes, and Kyle for helping playtest and troubleshoot v.2, and an additional thanks to Spare Time Gamers (STG) and everyone else who's worked on this mod in one way or another since 2011.
