Portal 2 Test Chamber Editor~Tips and Ideas

Overview

The testchamber editor has more potential than many see fit. This guide (if you can call it that) will reveal its potential.

Dont make it TOO easy

Portal 2 is a puzzle game. I REALLY dont think pushing a button to exit the testchamber and do nothing else is a puzzle. VALVe added this LDC so players can challenge other players. not to put together crap. I mean, I’m not ood at it myself, but atleast I dont make this:

Dont make it TOO hard

Yeeeaaahh…. This actually was made. And this is only scratching the surface on the weird and whacky mazes and things like that, that are INSANE!!! By now, I think you get the gist. Make your chamebers hard, but not insane like the example I just showed you.

Dont joke around

Jokes are…well…funny… But the WORST combination is jokes, and test chambers. Like I mentioned earlier, test chambers are meant to challenge people. Really the only joke that counts as a puzzle is a riddle, and Portal2 barley has any riddle elements, exept for the occasioanal jokes in the dialouge. So don’t waste your time making jokes.

Use Hammer responsibly

Hammer is a great tool for making your test chambers look more official than the tools provided in the original DLC. However, some jackass es thought it would be funny to make your chamber look like the aftermath of a nuclear war.

Thats all the worthless crap for today.

yep, you made it to the end, please dont tell anyone about this, it’s pointless. 😕
