Really enjoyed this took us 4 hours and then it crashed when we got to the end ;(

pretty great fap

This is still by far one of my favourite maps of all time.
I have played it many times over but still keep coming back.

One of the best maps I've ever played
Great Job!

Are You Normal? We played it for 3 hours!

The end is total bullshit. Wasted so much time.
Fix your crap or delete this

I appreciate the amount of effort that must have gone into this map, but as it stands, my coop partner and I did not have any fun completing it, and we both thought Portal Stories Mel was a bit on the easier side on release.

It wasn't that the puzzles were difficult - it was that they were all set up in a way that would wipe out all progress with a single mistake and force us to start the chamber all over again. Half of the puzzles in this are really timing challenges instead of logic-based tasks.

Miss your cue? Back to the beginning for both of you. Lose the ball? Go through the entire tedium of recovering it again. Don't realize you need to take the tractor beam with you from the first chamber? Tough shit - start all over again or noclip right back to the exit.

Thanks for the effort. In the end, our opinion: beautiful art design, poor puzzle design.

Oh my god, me and my boyfriend played this, took us 6 hours, we are tired as fuck...
...Great map!

Great map! only took 5 hours

@jingtheking Sorry for the late reply, yes, this was a solo project, I spent several weeks making this map, probably a hundred or so hours in the editor? My computer was terrible back then, so I spent a lot of time rendering the level each time a small adjustment was made.

We never actually finished it, we finished the first part then realized "oh shit, we needed the beam?!"... So yea, never finished it but I guess enjoy watching our fails?

Holy sh*t, this map is enormous and full of difficult puzzles, which makes it amazing. Took us ~4 hours, even though we used noclip a few times to restore progress lost due to stupid mistakes.

Took us like 5-6 hours but we progressed to the very end. It was difficult, it was fun, and one of the longest maps i've played so far. How many people worked on this map? If just you, how long did it take to complete this map?

Best Map i have played so far

Pretty confusing, nice looks though

dosent work with a stupid partner

최고의 맵입니다

if you like maps that are over the top and very dificult this is that map i highly recommend but only if you have like 3 hours to kill

When i want to play splitscreen, so how ???? I can play splitscreen in normal coop mod, but not in community maps... help me :(

Epic. Only a few other co-op maps compare to this long journey. Make sure you have a few hours free before tackling it, and you'll probably need a LOT of experience to figure it all out also. Thanks to the author for all of the maps in the collection.

Don't map anymore.

@Nyskrte, yeah... maybe try removing the white room with the four lasers that is shown on the computers?

Yep, sorry the train is the end. I literally couldn't add anything else to the map like a fancy outro or the editor would fail to build it.

So we replayed it, and completed the map. Its really long :D, but after going onto the train there was only a black screen...

Took us 4 hours, almost finished it at 2 am, but my friend's got RAM issues, so his game crashed as he was stepping into the train...

very nice map. is it the end after the train ? ity only a black screen there.

Good map but end very bad... Or bugged. Black screen

MY FAVOURITE CO-OP MAP UNTIL NOW! Congratulations, I really love it! Continue other maps like that! :D

Fantastic map, took us 3 hours and 3 friendships but we got eem

C'était carrément trop chiant. J'ai lachement abandonné du coup vers la fin, j'imagine. Il aurait fallu pouvoir enregistrer sa progression histoire de ne pas tout recommencer à chaque fois.
Je suis très en colère.
Bisous.

J'ai bien rigolé il faudra que je la refasse ;)

Very good map just the end is sad ^^"

The Ending is bugged, black screen.

Awesome map. Truly hardocre subquests including fun everywhere ^^
For our blindrun we played three hours. The last two subquests (laser grid and tractorbeam quest) were solveable by using noclip. Sorry, but we had no more concentration. ^^

Finally, me and my buddy Louis Cipher have enjoyed this map. Biggest thumbs up! :D

Best Co-op map I've played. Bloody brilliant!

What a great map 10/10 would reccomend to a friend. Was not expecting it to be that long and even though we got the black screen at the end, it was still a great feeling to finish it.

That took longer than expected. Great mapping!

Just played this again after a VERY long time. Completely forgot everything so it was a good refresher. Still the best map I've ever played.

Great Map:
The length is something different, and a very adventurous amount of time. I felt like I was embarking on a massive journey when I set out to play this level. The length of it just added to that experience. I don't know of any other maps in this game that take nearly this long to completely them. Also, the time you spend playing, keep you interested and in focus with the map.
It's difficult. Each and every puzzle has you scratching your head. The very act of getting to the next section of the level is a challenge in itself!
It's unique. The layout of the map, the design, the textures, and everything in between was awesome and epic to say the least. Along with that, the use of the anti-gravity and the strange ways of solving the puzzle just adds to the map. This map uses strategies and play styles I have never seen in Portal before. It's really a different experience. Never before have I seen the stuff you have to do to complete parts of this map.

This is an amazing map with lots of attention to detail, thank you so much for the amazing contribution to the Potral community. I had a lot of fun playing through this (even though it took 7 hours XD)

TRULY AN HONOR PLAYING THIS MAP WITH MY GOOD COMRADE NICK TO THE JET

Awesome map! We had to hurry, so noclipped a bit to shorten stuff, but still did it all legit. Here are the videos in case you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNiF7pxNdX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBIwVVAH_yg

Please add Tatyananumber and I on the list of the players that succeeded finishing this beautiful puzzle series. This co-op puzzle series (so far) was the most challenging for us. It has been VERY challenging to coordinate near the end. I was disappointed about the ending. I saw your notes that the map exiting to the evaluation screen is a known problem. The screen just goes black. Overall this co-op challenge was visually stimulating and sometimes horribly frustrating coordinating the puzzle solves. We did it !!!! :)

Nice and long and good looking map. Played it with Polux without headgear, and that was sometimes awful to coordinate, but really like the ideas and the realisation.

Nice work

Absolutely epic map man, loved playing it.

Didnt expect the appature logo to be portable above the large vault door. This should be made clear or explained as required walktrhough to find out!
Brill map!

You weren't kidding about the set a few hours aside part were you? lol

Thanks for the feedback, I do read all of this even though It's been a very long time since I last released something for Portal 2. Its pretty hard for me to map at this point without repeating myself or one of the hundreds of thousands of maps that have been produced, which has made me less inclined to go into the editor. Towards the end of this map's production it took my computer nearly 3 hours to build the map each time and would throw up tons of scary but ultimately meaningless overflow/full errors.

The ledges are intentional yes, I could have sloped them but I knew that not everyone would have the co-ordination, precision and timing to make the duo jumps consistantly. As for the shortcuts they were added in towards the end of the map's production.

Regarding the map's ending, it used to cycle to the next map in queue but ever since an update seven or eight months after I put the map up on workshop it broke and I couldn't find the way to resolve it.

After finally playing this map with wildgoosespeeder, I have to say that it's one of the best coop maps on the workshop. Thankfully not at all like the #1 frustrating map on the workshop , but it looks like this map, because it's a 4-in-1, wins the award for longest map to complete (which only makes the map look even more epic). Also, excellent work incprporating nearly every aspect of trust puzzle there is in Portal 2.

Other feedback:
> 3rd part has ledges that can break the puzzle...or they can be used to ease any potential frustration. It seems you've chosen the latter.
> The parts can be too punishing, but I suppose that's how you know it's a real test of endurance. Thankfully, you added shortcuts for whenever the parts get completed so that we don't need to do the whole part all over again.
> It seems that the map doesn't end, but that could just be because my partner got stuck in the exit tram....

So yeah, as wildgoosespeeder said, a few quirks here and there, but overall the map is worth it.
