It turns out that I just did an update to Goyave - Expert. This puzzle is more 'convenient' than Versutia I think.
Yes I believe in you ;D

This was actually a pretty clever puzzle. This was also the first puzzle of yours that I managed to solve with minor hints of your walkthrough video. The first hint that I needed was quite a meh move. It was the elevator jump where the player shoot portal on the upper floor by jumping just before the elevator is lifted up. My attempts with Versutia has been heart crushing because I cannot solve it yet. Though I have not completely forgotten it. Some day I will solve it, I believe in myself.

Very mixed feelings with this one. The decent puzzle is overshadowed by obscure execution (Piston jumping, the pointless Button etc.).

Just for the sake of art: https://youtu.be/zsP7-fgY_XA

Thank you for making

Wow, Cracken ...
That hidden button just turns on the laser. If it's pretty much pointless, yes!
Thanks for playing guys.

Very nice map with some cool ideas, though I don't know why that hidden button exists. It doesn't add anything to the puzzle and is pretty much pointless. The portal surface you have to shoot by jumping on the lift as it's going up didn't bother me too much, as the arrows were a good enough hint. The rest of the puzzle was very good and enjoyable though. I also liked the visuals. Thumbs up.

Waouuuuu ! Drôlement complexe, j'ai eu beaucoup de mal à comprendre ce qu'il fallait faire...Chapeau !

I was a bit naughty on this one too: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/878625635429002792/C2B5D88FA3E52569A8A90947281AF307878977BD/

excellent map. needed a few hints but thats expected when i play your maps.

drolement fortiche la mamy ;)

Comment ça abusé?! Je t'ai raconté l'histoire de ma grand mère? :P

encore un puzzle qui m'a bien pris la tête; j'ai du voir la soluce pour le piston.. (histoire de me donner ..un petit coup de piston, ok je sors)

sinon la fin bien bien bien abusé comme d'hab, mais je prends l'habitude ;)

Haha :)

My solution is far different from your solution :D LOL !!!

Nice looking map and nice puzzling (me too I'm 'against' that piston - still doable after a couple of tries); the initial part is somehow funny); good work on portaling; (one note: the goo in room where is a chell decal panel it's not killing the player); good work overal.

...after a long hesitation, I finally decided to listen your wise words
and make the beginning more friendly, thanks ;)

While there is a good puzzle in this map I'm quite upset about the so-called naughty thing. It's borderline trolling in my opinion. I spent 20 minutes looking around for nothing and even noclipped at the end still finding nothing. Then I looked into your video for that clue. Not cool. The other naughty thing wasn't a problem for me because I had seen what to do in the previous noclip incident, but I'd say that's a similar borderline trolling case. Why you taint an otherwise very good map with such ideas is beyond me. Ils sont fous, ces Français!

Haha, come one...it really isn't as complicated as that ;
especially for an experienced guy like you :p
And you have F6/F7 of course.

This test is a very good one untill you get to the piston platform jump - I'm not that skilled to make it. and then the part where you have to move the cube on the other side of the fizzler - I failed only once, but I didn't wish to try again. It's like the map is taunting me like "Skillz, bro! Haha".

Lol, I had thought of that ; much easier with the cube...well done.
Thanks for playing everyone.

I did everything correctly except one step: Screenshot1 , Screenshot2 .

Very hard....thanks for the walkthrough....

Lol that first button is such a troll. Interesting infinity lasers test and nice take on the theme (but I can't solve it xD)

Map vraiment sympa niveau design et les puzzles sont originaux mais trop complex pour moi ^^
gj

Thanks a lot Requiemsoul, well done.
I admit that the platform can be frustrating but if you understand well how to do it's very simple...walkthrough in support :)
Glad you liked it!

Amazing deubt using hammer. Fantastic details , the puzzle is superb, complex and very imaginative. Added to Favorites ( In Spite of frustrating plattform. xDD ).
grating-fizzler method. I knew this fun trick. Lucky for me!

Thank you Skyferret for playing, yeah as you maybe seen it below it's my first Hammer map and I still have many things to learn..thanks for your advices ; much appreciated ;)

It has some methods I've never thought of, so I had to watch the video. I like the way it looks. The only thing I noticed was my frame rate dropping. It might need optimizing. It may be that a lot of brushes need to be func_detail. Type in......mat_leafvis 3......into the console during game play and it will show where vis leafs are being mapped out. If you see less of those, that is good.

@Daoud Baba, Maybe you misread my comments, but what does likes and dislikes have to do with saving and loading? F6/F7 has and still is my best friend since playing community portal maps for over a year! I was expressing my taste about the puzzles, and even though I complained about some things it didn't stop me from enjoying and finishing Polux's map!

Merci! oui je m'en doutais pour le bouton et le piston...mais bon ce serait trop facile sinon :p
Je sais me servir de Hammer maintenant ;)

Really cool and challenging map !
@Brave : Did you know F6?? It's the saving game key, when you press it at an strategical moment, you never need to "Restart all again" xD
@Polux : Félicitation pour ta first hammer ! J'ai pas trop aimé le boutton caché et le coup du piston même si je connais ce concept et que je l'ai déjà utilisé differement...En revanche le reste était très fun, bon mix de skills et de puzzles...Je me serais presque cru dans un de mes tests xD

Ok, well done, all is intended except the laser part..too bad.
What can I do about the 'model not packed'?
Thanks for your advices.

Yep....
Prototype, 32min?! ^^ I'll check that tomorow, thanks!

Sorry Polux, my 2nd disliked is at the fizzler walking sideways with the cube, if you or the cube hits the fizzler you practically have to start over.
The ending was fine getting a new cube if a mistake is made.

My (long) blind run I agree with Brave about that jump, I found it very frustrating. Same with the beginning, I don't like hidden things. Once past them the puzzle was pretty good. I think I skipped the laser assembly in the corner, I don't remember actually finding a use for it.

The hammer work was impressive for your first map.

Thank you both for playing :)
Yeah, I expected this kind of remark Brave about the jump...
but I succeed 9/10 so I left like that..
You have to destroy the pavers before, then it's easier.
I do not understant your second point ;
simply drop the cube again...

Jgaultney you are very 'crafty' :p
Well, all is fixed now I think..thanks again.

I solved the map almost the same way as your video except for this part in the demo [www.dropbox.com], and you'll see me showing the portal bumping at the steel walkway leading to the room.
The puzzles where good except for two of them.
1. Didn't like how I got higher height going up the piston platform to shoot a portal on the upper floor, it was dumb luck that I figured that part out in frustration while jumping up and down in that area for over 15 minutes!
2.At the exit you have the player trigger a new cube, but fast portaling is required, and if you mess up before saving, the player has to practically start the map over!
Overall most of the puzzles where fun to figured out, and for your first hammer map... well done Polux!

A great looking map and the difficulty level is hard, not medium/hard. :) I managed to do
one (small) part of the puzzle differently from your video. To get upon the ledge to enable
and use the lightbridge, I was able to stand on the laser relay opposite the broken
glass upper wall and jump up and portal the panel in front of the laser collector.
I tried your way but it wouldn't work for me :) I had all of the rest of the puzzle figured out
except for one place near the end where I was completely stuck and couldn't finish. Your
solution was to carry the cube while it was on the other side if the fizzler .
I would have never thought of that. xD In any case, it was a great puzzle. Thumbs up!!

Nice map, nice work on design, and.. hard puzzle with some crazy stuff :p
