Portal 2: Aperture Science Perpetual Testing Initiative

[David Thomsen]

Has anyone made any test chambers using the new Cooperative Testing Initiative from Portal 2? There are so many levels already after only a couple of days that it's hard to get any noticed, so I thought if the Eurobricks community could share puzzles in this thread. That is, assuming there are enough people in this forum who play Portal 2 to make it worthwhile. I think Lego fans will have an innate skill for this kind of design work.

I haven't published any puzzles yet, but I will if I think there are enough people here who might play them.

Technically, the newest addition is the Perpetual Testing Initiative (video below). It really has flooded the game with new with content. I've mostly stuck to playing the best rated collections and so far, I haven't been disappointed, though I think that the one Valve gave 'Employee of the Moment' status to is far from the best one. Absolutely loved "12 Angry Tests," which was clearly made in Hammer as opposed to the new editor and includes a nice little side story that could be inserted into Portal 2 fairly seamlessly.

How about everyone post their favourites, as well as any that they make and submit, and we can use this space to discuss them as well as concepts for tests that you'd like to see, etc.

Don't know what we're talking about? Educate yourself.

I've uploaded a level now, it's basically me playing with some ideas to see if I can make them work. My steam workshop address is:

It has a lot of random stuff that doesn't actually mean anything yet, but which was fun to make and will maybe be incorporated into future levels.

Is this Co-op only maps or do People with no friends Single players get some love?

Also do you think the best ones will they be available as DLC for PS3? My PC is like 8 years old.

Finally, Where;s our Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Valve?

Actually, it's single-player only. If you want to make a co-op map, you'll have to build most of the map in the level editor and then use specialized Hammer tools to add the co-op only elements.

For much of the past week I've been playing Portal 2 with most of my free time because of the PTi. It's just so wonderful. As of now, I haven't actually made any chambers. I'm planning to make a few though, once I get a hang of the editor. Be on the lookout for me!
