The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.

As of December 17th, 2022, Portal: Electron is on an indefinite hiatus. Thank you everyone for the support!

An announcement will be made when Electron is back or officially discontinued.


Discord server announcement:
Hello everyone, I have a really important announcement, a quick read would mean a lot to me. Due to personal issues, I have to put Electron on an indefinite hiatus. I'm moving out of the general modding community and stopping all my projects, sadly Electron's going too, at least temporarily. I need to work on my own personal life, I'm struggling with depression, emotional disorders, lots of school related stuff, and I don't have the motivation or time to lead Electron right now. While I've personally considered transferring leadership entirely to Azul and letting them decide what to do with the mod, I don't want things to worsen and make it unrecoverable. I want to freeze it in it's current state until I'm ready to lead and fix it.
For transparency, I'll explain to the best of my abilities what's gone wrong. I kind of dug myself a hole by forcing myself to work on a mod I had no motivation for, and it caught up with me. The mod is a huge mess in the sense that my perfectionism prevents me from making any reasonable progress and I can't just hand mapping off to Bread. His own mod takes priority over Electron, that was the deal when he joined the team.
There is also the issue of staffing. We don't have enough developers or applicants to make a mod with the scope I want as a perfectionist. Keep in mind, I am not blaming anyone and your choice to apply or not to apply for the team is not mine to control. Everyone has their own projects and I can't expect everyone to drop everything they're doing to apply, but that's the issue. The lack of interest in the mod is 1, justifiable with the lack of progress, and 2, not something I can control, and that's fine.
I don't know if this is the end for Electron entirely. It depends on if I want to come back to it or not. I will announce if it will or not when I'm ready to make the decision for myself. For those who don't like Electron, congratulations, for those who like Electron, I'm sorry but you'll have to be patient. Really patient.
I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me get this far, I would do it all again (and I might!). I hope you all have a great christmas, and thanks for reading. To help out some other mods and give something else for everyone to support, I will now give you a few mods to follow that are similar to Electron, belong to our devs, or are inspirations for the project:

Portal: Revolution
This is a mod I look forward to, it has a talented team, amazing sounding premise, and serves as a heavy inspiration to Electron. It's planned to release in the first part of 2023, and looks like an amazing new experience in the Portal universe, with vanilla-looking, eye catching mapping quality.
Moddb.com
Portal Ambition
Bread's mod. Made for the first Portal, you get an entirely new experience with amazing level quality, along with some story bits too.
Moddb.com
Aperture: Salt Mines
Another amazing mod that, actually, inspired me to start modding in the first place back when I was about 12, before I joined Discord. ASM takes place in both old and new aperture, and feels like an authentic, Valve-made game. As a playtester, I can highly recommend you put this on your watch if you haven't already.

Planned Features
- A full, 4 act story, with a mix of new and old characters,
- 2+ new environmental styles, recognizably Portal but fresh,
- A full, original soundtrack,
- Various new custom elements, including the ability to fire your own High-Energy Pellets,
- Custom assets, higher quality asset remakes, and new variations,
- More to be announced!

Hello everyone!

Fiffle here with an update!

As you can see from the title, we've been taking little steps with the mod, but the team's been making good progress on pre-development work! I'm here today to show you what we've been doing.



Team changes:

Since the last article, we've had many people leave to work on other projects, and we've had a few new people join our team.
Farewell November, Nautom, SkillfulDomat, and CreativeCipher, thank you for everything!
We wish them all the best of luck in the future and we're excited to see what they work on next!
Welcome to the team Kabubu and Iambread!


New modeler!

We've begun working with the talented Kabubu to remake and reimagine some of the original models from Portal 2. You may know him already from this tweet where he remade 2 models from the original game!

Here's what he's worked on so far:


(sorry about the gap!)



We're excited to work more with him on expanding our asset palette and increase the quality of the mod.
Thanks Kabubu, your work is incredible!


New art studies!

Recently we released 2 art studies for the mod.
The first one is for the new chamber style. This level is not intended for the final game, and everything is still being worked on and subject to change later on down the line.
New Style Art Study!

The second one is for our conductivity gel. We played around with the colors and particles, this is what was settled on. Once again, the gel is a work in progress and subject to change later on.
This gel system, while not final, shows how the gel functions and looks pretty well. The video is missing damage, sound, and some particles.
Gel Visuals Study!


What's next?

There will most likely be a long gap between now and our next article. We don't want to show everything we do and aim for the highest quality possible on what we do show, but because of our lack of developers everything's moving quite slow.
For more frequent updates on the mod, consider joining our Discord server!

Please consider joining the team! We have positions open for mappers, a writer, a sound designer, programmers, and more! Check out the Discord server to see all the positions we have available!
DM me (Fiffle__Sniffle#2182) to apply!


Thank you for reading!

I appreciate the support from everyone, and the rest of the team does too!
Thank you for an amazing first year of development, we look forward to this next year of making this mod a reality! I would like to thank the team for helping me along the way.

Thank you so much MoonBased (Azul), November, CreativeCipher, Iambread, Erin, SkillfulDomat, Nautom, Luger_Mann, Kabubu, Antek1234I, Orinji Neko (tons of non-development help and support), TheCCguy, the Thinking With Portals team, the creators of the asset's we're using (placeholder or final, will be credited!), the Firelance Studios team (assets and support), Erin-Rose Webs (non-development support), Fajr, and of course, you (which we could not do this without!)
Have a good day everyone, Fiffle out!
