New Concept Idea Map thread

I hope this can become a main collection of ideas, basicly my hope is that this should be a place where you post maps that introduce unusual or new concepts or elements to maps.
for example, check out my aerial faith stop map:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=77904167
I'm sure there are many better ones, and if I have time i'll try to find and add other peoples maps here, maybe someday I can put them all into a collection.

To clarify, i hope that this is a place where people will post maps that show new ideas that then other people will make better maps that use those new ideas. please help spread the word if you use any of the ideas in this thread by linking it in your maps discription.
this isnt a place to just show off your new map. please only post a map if it's main focus is showcasing this new concept or idea.

I feel like I made a lot of maps with unique qualities but not with the Hammer editor.
I made a rising laser field

a randomly selected path rollercoaster
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=77649002

a track platform that runs out of refillable power. Difficult though.

and a track platform that runs on puzzle completion. This seems to be the most appealing.

a map pack where the intended solutions often seem like usually unintended solutions...

Well, I was thinking about that for a moment... I would like to launch some kind of new tag to add in the description of this kind of "new maps" ^^ For exemple #ThinkDifferent or #NewConcept, or anything else... If something like that leready exists, please tell me, and if not, this thread is a good way to launch it!

I'm really interested about this idea because almost all my maps are some kind of new concept demo X)

Here is my workshop if you want to see what I mean ;)

I don't know if this is a new concept, I only have the default workshop editor but it's a trick using lasers and creating "automated" doors, panels, platforms etc, but please check it out.

I created a strategy using two excursion funnels. When placed on the opposite walls facing each other a cube conflicting with them will remain put. I used this as a strategy for preventing excelloration so the cubes could be getly released onto a button and not ricochet against it in a map I made.

Well I really used a more complex strategy for my map involving spheres instead of cubes and button based-timing. I just talked about the cube version so you's get it.

One portal maps! Although it's not really a "new" concept we don't see enough of those in my opinion. I made a few of them if you'd like to check them out.

"Secondary Fire" Collection:

Many unique things can be made with one portal available to the player. I just wish more people could see that.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=75981433 <--- My first map. The Only map in portal 2 that you will not touch the ground.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=76162017 <--- My second map. You Must play twice. Try it to figure it out why.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=78334360 <--- My third map. Nothing that normal.

Hope You Enjoy!!
Please leave feedback after playing. Good Luck :)
Thank You!!

I made a map where you must use repulsion gel to jump up through a portal and onto a higher platform, then decided to make it into a series called gelly portal. All the chambers get gradually harder.
