Still an Important Part of Science

Cubes, buttons, portal flings...
Turrets, doors, a radio that sings...
These are a few of Science's classical things.

Note: this map looks best with shader detail set to at least high. I also recommend turning on antialiasing if possible.

My first attempt at making a Portal-themed map within the confines of the Portal 2 game engine. It's a tribute to (though not an entry for) the P2LC group's "Fizzled Out" competition. I included the missing sounds for the soundscapes, as well as a few other specials such as 2 different GLaDOSs. There's even a hidden signal for those persistent/keen enough to find it. If anything seems to be missing, please let me know.

Interesting fact: in the original Portal, the soundscapes were context-sensitive. For instance, if the intention was to go get a cube, a certain soundscape would play. If the intention was to fling, another soundscape would play. In my map they are only partially context-sensitive. However I still encourage you to take a listen, especially if you are an amateur Hammer mapper.

Estimated difficulty: easy-medium for the pro, medium+ otherwise. Estimated completion time: 10-15 minutes.
This test, in addition to having no fizzlers, also has no cube droppers.

Enjoy and good luck!
