"Something Different ... Non-Euclidean" | Perpetual Testing | Portal 2 Community Maps & Mods

[@schrute8087]

it's awsome to see someone still playing portal (I love this game)

[@ngeruma]

There's a fair few people who still make portal videos, the game has such a great community still after all this time. Thank you for watching and commenting too!

[@AmaroqStarwind]

Valve totally knew what they were doing when they introduced World Portals. They knew exactly what people would do with it.

[@giantpunchprojects]

0:25 what a funny way to describe Non Euclidean spaces, haha

[@ngeruma]

not 'technically' accurate i guess, but pretty much true :D Thank you for watching!

[@lavaerrordoggo]

Um the map name (in the title) is off by one letter. It should be Euc instead of Ecu. oops!

[@lavaerrordoggo]

Anyways, good video as usual!

[@ngeruma]

hey sorry for the very late reply and thanks for pointing that out, i actually saw your comment pop up in notifications and rushed to correct the title :D Thanks again and thanks for watching and commenting too!

[@whytoexist9954]

Fun Fact: world portals are x2 bigger when placed cause valve logic. Anyways, I've played this map yesterday- interesting. I'm pretty sure ngeruma's channel is now focused on the interestingly weird maps. Ngeruma, yes: BEE2 can handle world portals, its proven on BEE2.5 (the older version of bee2), as a element called "world portal door"

[@ngeruma]

I didn't know Bee2 had that now, it's awesome they keep adding so much to it for people to play and experiment with, and yeah valve logic, so many things are very oddly scaled when you look into how they make their games lol As always, thanks for watching!

[@elytron6758]

If you still play basic beemod maps, I would love to see your reaction to my Portal TUBER series. I want to see if you can get all the optional secrets!

[@thalia3057]

There’s a link in the description to recommend a map!

[@elytron6758]

@@thalia3057 Thank you, will do...is a collection allowed?

[@ngeruma]

Collections are very much allowed yeah, i just wish i had more time to do more, i want to do collections as their own series if possible

[@elytron6758]

​@@ngerumaI understand. Time is a rare and valuable resource. My series might break up nicely into 5 episodes of 2 maps each. Again, very sorry to have bombarded your videos with these comments so much when I first released it 😅. I was just excited

[@SirHaxe]

10:05 It hurts physically so much

[@ngeruma]

* _evil laugh_ * Thank you for watching!

[@MrHeartbleed]

I realy loved the minimalistic style of the chamber, and the way it plays with world portals. Nice video.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah the minimalist look with the colours works really well. Thank you for watching!

[@savasyn]

That was a really fun experience. Loved the different aesthetic and the clever use of the world portals. And let it be noted that you cruised right through that one! No fooling you these days :)

[@ngeruma]

i at least don't make the mess of a world portals map like i used too, i'm wise to their 'tricks' now ...sort of ...some of the time at least :D As always, thank you!

[@GabeW-ko2lf]

I challenge you to the hardest map I’ve personally played. “Hardest brain teaser” by orange. It’s a four stage map. No fancy decorations or mods just really hard puzzle well thought out tbh.

[@ngeruma]

Hi sorry for the very late reply, i'll see if i can track that one down on the workshop. if you happen to have the link handy, please let me know ngeruma.wixsite.com/ngeruma/submit-a-test-chamber Thank you for watching and for the suggestion :D

[@GabeW-ko2lf]

@@ngeruma in that time I found a new harder one called pr0tal lol there’s a few videos of it online.

[@GabeW-ko2lf]

I don’t know the creator but just by looking at the techniques used its insane

[@vankor]

This makes me crave for a reboot or sequel of antichamber

[@ngeruma]

it does have that antichamber kind of feel doesn't it, i tried playing that years ago and gave up because i just couldn't figure out what the game wanted from me half the time, i might give it another go sometime :D Thank you for watching

[@cyanidethefox2160]

my Monday has become better

[@ngeruma]

Glad you are still enjoying them, thank you so much for watching so often!

[@alkalinekats8300]

Ah playing around in the collapsing black hole in aperture, always a great time, never the same twice, aperture's best test subject is not afraid to do anything I see.

[@ngeruma]

i do it ...for science! .... and someone promised me sixty bucks a while ago Thanks for watching!

[@ConnorMitch]

This is a BEE2 map. There are UCPs (User Created Packages (Custom elements)) in BEE2.

[@forbutinactive]

i love world portals, so mind bending when used like that

[@ngeruma]

Me too, they're some of my favourite ways that map makers mess with the player now :D As always, thank you for watching!

[@memor22]

Wow, this is one of the puzzles that are hard in difficulty buy you managed to not frick up and just forget the order of events I am surprised… it’s basically tradition at this point!

[@ngeruma]

this one wasn't too hard, but yeah sometimes i'm actually not awful at the game these days ...sometimes :D Thank you for watching!

[@joezephyr]

Fun video thank you. As I already said, "Off of" is usually incorrect grammar. Americans use it all the time but civilised English speakers should only use it when it is correct grammar. Thank you.

[@CMDR_RileyAngel]

Who asked...

[@ngeruma]

what gave you the impression i was 'civilised'? ;)

[@CHARSARG]

On the blue, there is a blocker thing which stops you from falling into the goo

[@ngeruma]

There is? that would explain that life preserver ramp thing then, i guess you can just walk back up to the other side then. Thank you for watching and commenting too :)

[@Jimbozinya]

I'm stuck on the "glass room" fr the blue cube, unfortunately the transition is not happening for some season, no matter what path I take or how many times I turn around. The new corridor isn't triggering.

[@ngeruma]

hey sorry for the late reply, that sucks. Sometimes these maps with lots of world portals can get kind of glitchy it seems, other than restarting the only other option would be to use noclip to get to the next area, but if i remember right that next area doesn't actually just line up anywhere near the transition point when you noclip out of the map

[@adinrichter6034]

fun fact: the beginning and ending elevators also use world portals in community created maps (at least by the in-game editor)

[@ngeruma]

those where the entrance and exit setup ones i mentioned, also apparently BeeMod does actually have the tools to let creators play with world portals in the actual map now too, which is cool and means we will be seeing a lot more of it :D Thank you for watching!

[@adinrichter6034]

ah i see! its amazing that beemod lets you use world portals now too, cant wait to see what poeple will make!

[@dominiuscz7730]

Actually this test chamber really reminded me about the game antichamber

[@ngeruma]

yeah it does have that kind of feel to it, i did try to play antichamber for a series of videos years ago, i gave up because i just couldn't figure out what it wanted from me half the time lol, i might give it another go sometime :D Thank you for watching!

[@lagoozri9568]

Thats GLaDOS True POWER, changing every scenario in an unbelievable speed

[@ngeruma]

This is totally the kind of thing GLaDOS would do with a quantum computing upgrade :D Thank you for watching

[@ImmortalAbsol]

It's Ngeruma Core!

[@ngeruma]

... no idea who you're talking about ;)

[@stacksmasherninja7266]

These world portal maps are always mind breaking. This map almost qualifies for "weird friday map"

[@ngeruma]

Yeah this could (maybe should) of been a weird Friday map, it's kind of tricky to decide what counts as which now :D As always, thank you!

[@jviper2004]

I'm still waiting for a hyperbolic non-Euclidian space puzzle

[@ngeruma]

...sounds ...interesting If you find one, let me know :D Thanks for watching!

[@HugoBDesigner]

6:00 - Funnily enough, that is a dev texture 6:03 - I JUST SAID THAT!!! 8:21 - Such as using the floor accessible panels? :P 10:42 - No, but I have watched my good friend ViiNTAGE play through it and absolutely lose his mind. He actually played all the games of that franchise, and let me tell ya, there are a LOT Fun little chamber and video, almost fitting for Friday :)

[@ngeruma]

6:00 / 6:03 other than the way Wii2 uses them, think this is the only other time i've seen them used as part of a map, they work well aesthetically in this one. 8:21 there was a floor panel?? or you mean do it from the other side? like jump to the middle then jump again? 10:42 i played a fair way into the first one before i lost interest to be honest, they're really good just i felt they kind of lacked a reason to keep going other than to prove you could solve everything to yourself, a lot of first person puzzle games have that i find. Yeah there's loads of them, the Dev's are/were really dedicated to that series. Much love!

[@HugoBDesigner]

@@ngeruma 8:21 - I meant using the sides of the wall which are in contact with the floor, so you could just portal either side of the gap then walk through normally, without the shimmying :P

[@thincreator3483]

That was neat btw reccomend the Unreal/Unity set of maps

[@ngeruma]

thank you for watching and i have the unreal set of maps on my list for when i have time to get back into doing the bigger collections like that :)

[@martinligabue]

this was so chill

[@ngeruma]

It did have a more relaxed Aperture then usual kind of feel to it didn't it :D Thank you for watching!

[@julianemery718]

Its funny when people use the term "non-Euclidian" incorrectly, usually in the form of buzzwords.

[@DevilSpider_]

Non-Euclidean refers to a type of geometry which is present on a curved plane (spherical or hyperbolic) where parallel lines either curve towards or away from each other. What the buzzword refers to is seamless portals, so the correct term should be "Antichamber-esque" since that game heavily uses seamless portals and seamless teleportation as its "mind bend"

[@ngeruma]

i get what you mean but it's pretty commonly used in game design to refer to this kind of 'extra spaces' in levels. thank you for watching and commenting too :)

[@callumstar1062]

Ngeruma good luck finding all the boxes of cereal in my map you will need it

[@ngeruma]

i will warn you now, they do crash the game if there is too many lol, it is an awful lot to make it happen though :) Thanks for watching

[@OctaviusMullius]

Haven't you already played this one

[@ngeruma]

Not this one no, i think i have one with a similar kind of look to it, but i can't remember which that was now. Thank you for watching!

[@OctaviusMullius]

I'm a huge fan of your work

[@JellyFoxYT]

I played this one. It was awesome.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah the non euclidean stuff is always fun to play with like this. Thank you for watching!

[@LorvinWolf]

this episode makes me want UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING. (anyone got the reference?)

[@ngeruma]

i didn't but a friend says it's from Doctor Who?

[@LorvinWolf]

@@ngeruma Yes its from the seventh doctor.

[@Igor-dd7ru]

Bro, its portal, every puzzle is non euclidean.

[@ngeruma]

kind of yes, kind of not, the 'usual' portaling still takes place in the same space, you just fold it to shortcut about the place :D Thanks for watching!

[@dannygorman4803]

Reminds me of the old "descent" levels like this... 200 likes now.

do you mean the quake mod? i had never heard of if, just googled descent and found out about it now, is it good? Thank you for watching and commenting too :)
