[@demonicsplinter]

Nice to see a mod with the spirit of the old high-quality ones we saw back in the day. New concepts, voiced characters and detailed environments are looking pretty good Edit as of mod release: Definitely lived up to the presentation showcased in this trailer. If you haven't gone and played it yet, go do that! Excellent production-quality work by a small team.

[@jaredf6205]

I forgot Portal 2 was even old in the first place.

[@somesortofgeek]

Got any recs for high quality portal mods with that sort of stuff?

[@demonicsplinter]

Portal 2 is tough, because most of the good mods were for other Source games. The only ones I can think of are Portal Stories: Mel (of course) and Aperture Tag (even though it's a paid mod, which is bizarre). When I said this, I was more so referring to the general status of Source modding, like Factum Solus and Rexaura for Portal 1, or Half-Life 2's MINERVA and The Citizen. Of course, not to say all other Portal 2 mods are bad. It's ironic... the game's uniform world design makes it one of the easiest games to make maps for, but difficult to make a story-enriched modification. There's also issues with flows, good puzzle-design and the like that can bog down an experience pretty bad.@@somesortofgeek

[@delaneyelekes8660]

Suggestion: I think the cores might sound a little more natural with a very subtle robotic/digital filter over their voices! I think their voices are good but, something about them feels weirdly more "human" than Wheatley and ESPECIALLY other cores did, and it sticks out. Wheatley might be the only core in the series to not actually have a digital sounding voice because, for some reason, he sounds fine without it.

[@yuzufruit6505]

It’s probably because British people aren’t real anyway so we don’t need the extra effects to add to the immersion

I'm pretty sure its gonna have to release if its using P2CE since P2CE would also have to release I think, I'm not sure how that works exactly though.

[@StefanH]

Thanks so much! To clarify, this is a standalone mod. We use the Strata Source engine, which P2CE also uses, but our branch is entirely separate. I have regularly kept up to date with their features but our engine doesn't include all of P2CE's features. You will not need to have P2CE installed to play this mod. Other P2CE mods might have this requirement, but this mod is sort of a special case.
