Igrium did an incredible job with this one, the details like that time interference were perfect! Thank you for watching and for commenting too!

[@Igrium]

I actually ended up decompiling some of the hl2 maps and looking at how they did that.

[@zeallust8542]

@@Igrium Is it as simple as my brain is suggesting it is? Everything ive worked with in Source (not a ton, ill admit) is pretty easy to replicate over in the other games. (Also, not trying to discredit the effort put into your work, I couldnt design an actual map for the life of me)

[@Igrium]

@@zeallust8542 From a technical perspective, it's rather straightforward (aside from the inevitable glitches caused caused by Source weirdness). The tricky part is having a good enough understanding of cinematic suspense to make the whole thing work. This is where my background in film came in handy: it gave me the tools to put much more thought into when and how I construct these sequence for the best effect. In fact, almost half the time I put into these sequences was spent in Audition designing the sound.

[@zeallust8542]

@@Igrium Hey thanks for the response mate. And yeah, that whole understanding thing is my issue. Im a horrible designer when it comes to things like that lol. I understand how they work in the same way I understand art in general. Very well, however, I cant create it.

[@terrypvcringe9093]

how'd you manage the part where the whole room broke away to xen? I peed myself a little bit I was so impressed as someone who dabbles in hammer editor I was absolutely dumbfounded

[@Igrium]

@@terrypvcringe9093 It's rather complicated and *very* technical. The first thing I did was map out the room in Hammer the way you normally would. I knew from the beginning that I wanted it to break away, so I made sure to keep it small. Then, I copy-pasted the room into a separate file and used a program called Pragma Filmmaker to export the entire thing as a glTF, which I brought into Blender. In Blender, I used the Cell Fracture addon to break the walls up into lots of tiny pieces, and I made each of those into a rigid body, which I connected together using breakable constraints. I then lowered the gravity, added various force fields, and played with other physics settings until I got them to swirl around the player like that. Once I was happy with the physics, I used a simple Python script to convert the rigid bodies into a set of animated, armature-based models with bone for each piece. Each model was then exported back into the engine and applied to a prop_dynamic. (There were several technical hiccups getting this to work that I won't get into.) The final piece of the puzzle was the lighting, sound design, and all the other effects that went into it. Because Source doesn't handle lighting very well on dynamic models, you actually start the sequence in the original, brush-based room. The light flickering out then hides a teleport into a completely separate room, this one built out of the models. Once the walls break apart, and there isn't a bunch of interior bounce lighting to worry about, an env_projectedtexture and a few light_spots are sufficient to light the scene. And of course, the whole thing wouldn't have worked without the proper buildup and cinematic suspense leading up to it.

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

25:12 the map is already awesome and deserves a favorite and then this part comes and you just want to thank the creator personally for being so creative and actually going through with this

[@ngeruma]

Totally agree! Igrium did an incredible job with this, like this is Valve themselves levels of map/hammer work. The room breaking apart was awesome, the following cave/GMan glitch was creepy as hell and then, on top of that, Igrium dumps you into the Puzzle Maker styled chamber!

[@edward9487]

Honestly, I think the Level Editor in Level (as I'll put it, the "Meta Level") is more of a creepy, "somehing has gone wrong" aesthetic than just a general one. Meta Level, otherwise, was used super effectively, here.

[@ngeruma]

The level editor style completely threw me off when i saw it, Igrium did such an awesome job getting every detail of jusr right. and yeah it ties in really well to the whole multiverse idea, do you think that is what everything looks like to the bendy characters in their version? Thank you for watching and for the comment too :)

[@savasyn]

Holy crap, that was amazing!! What a fantastic adventure this took us all on. And yeah, the PeTI builder skin on the last one was both hilarious and awesome. Very clever reworking of the puzzle to keep it the same but different. Brilliant work all around.

[@ngeruma]

I loved everything about this one! and yeah i'd love to see the PeTI aesthetic become an actual thing, it was instantly recognisable and works so well with the multiverse idea Thanks for watching dude!

[@Igrium]

Thanks! Fun fact, the puzzlemaker aesthetic was what lead me to make this map in the first place. I saw the puzzlemaker models in Hammer and realized, "wait, you could put this in an actual map!" But I'm a filmmaker, so I knew I had to properly build up to it; I couldn't just throw the player in there at the beginning. That's how I came up with the trip-fest that's the rest of the map: it was needed to justify the puzzlemaker at the end. I ended up taking it a little too far :)

[@savasyn]

Thank you for recommending this map! easily one of the most enjoyable portal experiences i've ever had! Thanks again!

[@MrGermandeutsch]

24:21 - I've seen this same trick before, used in a Garry's Mod map known as *rp_Waystation* . It's not actually just animated models, but genuine physics at play here (which I have yet to figure out)! -(Same thing can be seen in Half-Life: Alyx as well, but with a different engine probably comes with a different approach to it.)-

[@HugoBDesigner]

@@MrGermandeutsch If I'm not mistaken (I was in the server where Igrium was sharing their progress), it's a physics simulation they did in Blender (which handled both the animations and the whole "turning walls into smaller chunks" part), then exported to Source. I'm probably oversimplifying though, but it's mostly smokes and mirrors. Not that it's not impressive though, it very much still is!

[@MrGermandeutsch]

@@HugoBDesigner Interesting. I may be a bit hesitant to believe that anyone would put so much effort into a map, but that's probably because my mindset is still stuck in the early 2010.

the bit at 22:00... I didn't even think about using the cubes as stepping stones. That's good. I portaled over to the other side, but the cubes probably would have been easier. I was wonde3ring why they were there lol 24:22 I would like to remind everyone that this game is twelve years old, and the engine it's running on is 19. And finally, 36:59 is such a big brain gamer move. I gave up earlier and ended up cheesing it by throwing one of the cubes up there from the lower platform. Definitely not the intended solution, but One of the things I like about this map is how the small changes in the background - Certain panels no longer being portalable, Elements moving to different areas, Grates/glass appearing, etc. Make it progressively more difficult to cheese the level. So whether you solved it the intended way or not, it's always a little more difficult, and a little more satisfying. Overall very good map. Also holy crap, dude! You're almost at 4k subs! Well done!

[@ngeruma]

Hey dude, nice to see you again, hope you are well! 22:00 I figured Igrium designed that bit with the intention of players using the cubes like that, i mean the stepping stones over sketchy water is like a gaming classic :) 24:22 yeah it's weird to thing this game can still be so impressive even though it's so old, you see worse effects in some AAA games these days, so it's a testament to how good map makers and modders can be with this. 36:59 i agree with you, the variation of the puzzle each time kept them interesting while making each one that bit harder too. i thoroughly enjoyed all of this map, story, effects, and puzzles too :) Thank you, youtube randomly decided to push this video and the numbers shot up all week, i have no idea why but i'm certainly not complaining:D Thank you for watching and for the comments too

[@ChadWho]

Just a note, no one plays games like this i.e. just play the game!

[@ngeruma]

e.g. i do :)

[@montydog990]

btw how they're doing that cool effect is a blender animation imported into source

[@ngeruma]

it's really cool to see when map makers go that extra distance like this, the amount of work and effort is seriously impressive. Thank you for watching and for commenting too :)

[@PYovck]

The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that you were trying to hard to find the jump scares

[@Axodus]

I played the puzzle before you (don't really play puzzles much) and finished it in exactly 38 minutes, I wasn't trying to match your time but I did lol, this puzzle has a very consistent playtime of about a half hour I guess lol

[@ngeruma]

Oh weird, HugoBDesigner did a video on this as well and it's pretty much the same length too :D Thank you for watching and i hope you enjoyed the map, i really loved this one.

[@naxreus959]

This map is really nice, amazing what can be done with the Hammer editor, btw Ngeruma question, do you also take Aperture TAG map requests or only Portal 2 maps?

[@ngeruma]

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this map, very impressive work by Igrium, As for Aperture Tag maps, i did actually decided ages ago that i would do them too but i've only ever been sent one, and people don't really seem interested in it, but if you want to send me any than please do so! Thank you for watching and sorry for the late reply.

[@Eevee860]

None of the modern area was made until after cave died

[@lillappy7520]

24:25 how he does it is using the engine as it already has the ability to do debris if you remember the original gameplay,the suspension room falls apart and they are moveable meaning how he does it is just manipulate the debris to move around like that

[@ngeruma]

It was more an expression of how impressive it was to see at the time, Igrium actually made all the separate pieces of debris as individual models assembled them like a jigsaw to create the room, and added individual animated paths to each piece to pull the room apart. Thank you for watching and sorry for the very late reply

[@Alexprime-ve1od]

Half Life and portal 2 are in the same universe.

[@LeonSteelpaw]

This looks fun No mention of the person in the last variant in the observation room?

[@ngeruma]

Very fun map, and you're right i didn't consider the bend in the window as anything other than what you see when you place one in the puzzle maker, but looking back ....was it an alternative us? we were just there :) Thank you for watching and for commenting too.

[@ivolano]

oh wow this is weathley playing portal 2 mods very cool

[@ngeruma]

Thank you for watching! :D

Holy shit, first time seeing a KZbin intro in a long ass while like that

Oh, fantastic! An upload on a friday this is a amazing! Hopefully my fathers friend can come over tomorrow to voice act in my portal 2 map! I hope your doing well and thank you as always for fantastic content! And this map was crazy here is me trying to work out how to make a light illuminate a room and people doing amazing stuff like this 24:01 that's some awsome talent!

[@ngeruma]

Ah the good doctor! hope you're doing well too! Yeah i was hoping to do every Monday and Friday, but time wise i think i'll have to try and aim for every Monday and every other Friday instead. Oh cool, you're going to have custom voice lines too? that's great, i'm looking forward to trying it out. This map was incredibly impressive build/design/ and effort wise. and think of it this way, the light might've been tricky this time, next time you need one, it will be easy :D you'll get better and better each step! Thank you for watching and thank you again for your kind words! i wish you all the best too!

[@TheAkashicTraveller]

Why are you making steppign stones, you have a portal gun!

[@ngeruma]

I mean Igrium clearly intended that, the whole stepping stones over sketchy water thing is a gaming classic :)

[@arcadeportal32]

Imagen if they finally make Portal 3 and G-Man comes in at the end and takes Chel.... or her portal gun

[@ngeruma]

Chell is definitely someone that G-Man would have an interest in "recruiting" Thanks for watching!

[@TheWinjin]

First of all, praise be the Algorithm for he giveth and he recommendeth Second, thanks to Igrium for creating this, it was great. Third, I absolutely love how you RRandomly do hard R in words, sounds cool :D

[@ngeruma]

Hi sorry for the late reply, and thank you for giving the video a try!, much appreciated! and i agree with you, Igrium did an incredible job with this, easily one of my all time favourites now. You mean the thing where i sometimes roll the r sound a bit? some people find it annoying :) i used to have a bit of speech impediment so it's how i learnt to say the r sound properly and it kind of stuck lol Thanks again for watching and for commenting too!

[@lilricky2515]

One of the positive things about AI, is that we can now generate whatever we want to import into levels in Cave's voice.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah that's true, i've seen a couple of maps now that put that to really good use, they still don't sound 100% perfect but they are really good, especially if you write the dialogue in the manner Cave would actually speak too. Thank you for watching and for the comment too :)

[@Igrium]

So true. This map only used lines that were already in the game though.

[@whatis4295]

That is just amazing! I'll have to check this out when I get a chance

If you have a cube going in the air from portals on the ground where nothing changes don't exactly need timing

[@realgptv01]

24:06 how the heck did igrium code that in hammer!?!?!

[@ngeruma]

Igrium left a comment here about the huge amount of animating and model making they did to get this effect to look so good. Thank you for watching!

[@Mt.Everest]

I thought that GMan in the thumbnail was Spy from tf2. Would have been great.

[@ngeruma]

You've just made me realise you never really see TF2 get crossed over into the other valve games, i know the style is very different but since valve introduced the whole multiverse thing there's no reason not to :) Thank you for watching!

[@epicalworlds2775]

I remember playing this map months ago, such a good and unique level icl

[@ngeruma]

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this one, Igrium did an amazing job with it. Thank you for watching

[@thiagogoncalves7389]

That thumbnail really shows how big everything is in Portal 2

[@ngeruma]

It really does, it seemed wrong when i was making it in Source Filmmaker, i tried adjusting the size of the GMan model but it just looked wrong, everything seems so much bigger when not in first person. Thank you for watching!

[@zepzep4423]

I rarely post comments but I gotta say, I've just watched 4 minutes through the video and i'm already positive i'm subscribing to this channel due to how utterly charming, entertaining and clever this man is. I'm in love

[@georgerockwell6124]

honestly I played the map blind like this guy did but I got bored after going into the uncomplete part and realizing that i'm still forced to solve the same puzzle for the third time over just with a slightly different solution that forces me to take just as much time to solve the puzzle almost like it's the portal version of padding out the runtime; like a good portion of the solutions in this don't even feel like they should be possible the game gives you just barely enough momentum to reach those upper platorms in the earlier iterations to the point where it feels like you exploited the map design more than you solved the puzzle; and even after knowing the solution for the final chamber it's still took like six or seven attempts at getting the laser cube to fall in the right way since you have to shoot it in a spot where it's not gonna fall perfectly straight. I feel like people are praising this map entirely for the copied Half Life 2 effects that appear at random without real purpose

[@ngeruma]

That's fair enough, i personally thoroughly enjoyed all parts of this, i found the puzzle to be about the right difficulty towards the easier, and enough to get the hang of but with enough variation to keep it interesting without it getting needlessly complicated, taking the player away from the story side of the map. i didn't really feel like i used any exploits in the puzzles but i can see there being alternative ways to solving them. There being 3 versions of the puzzle ties in with the multiverse concept that the perpetual testing initiative brought to the game and the multiverse aspect of the story in this map. A lot of the praise is for the amount of work, effort, and attention to detail that Igrium put into the build, and in my opinion the room breaking apart effect did feel like it had a purpose to the story. Thank you for watching and for commenting too. :D

[@carnosinehobs7759]

18:30 enderman noise.

[@ngeruma]

Yeah it is the enderman noise, Igrium said in another comment they were using it for a reference for the sound design and ended up including it as it worked so well. Thank you for watching and for commenting too :)

[@RobiePAX]

24:20 - "how do you make source engine do that?" Someone hasn't played Black Mesa Source Xen levels :D

[@ngeruma]

Which is what makes it even more impressive when you consider this was entirely made by one person as a passion project. :D Thank you for watching :)

its a map its always gonna be that player model

[@ngeruma]

Hey sorry for the very late reply, and yeah that player model is Bendy, the faceless representative of an Aperture employee, unless the map maker specifically makes the map use a different player model, you're always Bendy in community maps :D Thanks for watching
