Dang you did better than me with my first chamber on hammer! Good job!

Ok thank you. In the back I used the wrong by mistake portal to direct the funnel and got trapped.

There's a white surface above the funnel. It's visible through the damaged wall. Shoot it with your other portal.

To rephrase: I reached the funnel and obtained the cube. Can't go anywhere after that.

When you exit the entry room, and look back at it, theres a spot on the lower right which you can portal on.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll keep that in mind. Also, where were the non-white portal surfaces?

Also @joe98 it's not towards the right of the funnel. Try zooming in to the surface and trying again.

It feels like you published a work in progress puzzle. Here are some things to consider for your next hammer map: the lights at the beginnning are burning, please turn them down so I don't go blind. They make that area far too bright in contrast with other areas. It also gives the player poor visiblity to the portal outside the chamber. The beginning area is a bit strange, and the broken entry door isnt properly alined. The laser particle in the first room also doesn't make sense. The floor under the funnel reminds me of the coop hub, where cubes dont die, but players do. The goo in the hidden area is too high, where there is also some unalined textures. you can portal on certain geometry items that are not white, which is confusing. The ending door is placed in a very odd area, and you have no working loading screen to signal the end of the map. Anyway, I enjoyed it enough to thumbs up, keep working and you soon get better!

Reached the funnel. Can't go anywhere after that (there is a white surface up really high but it cannot be portaled)

Good atmosphere. Thanks

You can't actually enter the observation room, I just wanted to take a screenshot from that perspective.

It's an OK 1st Hammer map. It's also an OK puzzle.
I may have cheesed it tho... Where's the 1st picture for the map - the control room with the long table? Couldn't find it and didn't use it.

ok

i dont like this

thanks

It certainly has atmosphere!
Thanks for sharing.

Everything is OK now.

Thanks, got it. I'll update the map.

Where were they?

Blue error and missing textures.

Cool! I'll try playing it. I use Bee2Mod and it is INCREDIBLE. It makes mapping so much more creative. I think it's possible to make MUCH better stuff in Hammer though.
