Yup. It's a dude who goes by the name of Harry101UK. He's a pretty large creator in the portal community having made a bunch of animations and music videos.
Yep, when Mel originally came out there were a lot of complaints that the mod was too hard. So they made changes to the majority of the test chambers and some behind the scenes areas to make it easier. The easier mode then became story mode, and the original mod became advanced mode. The puzzles in advanced mode are really hard so I only recommend playing it when you feel more confident in your puzzle solving skills. Maybe play Portal: Reloaded or Rexaura 1st, those are pretty tough.
It wasn’t even that hard I don’t understand all this commotion Yeah it was definitely hard, but isn’t that the point of puzzle games and makes the game longer
And it causes a bug, the menu changes according to what chapter you're playing, but they only made it work for the original maps, which means that when playing story mod, you'll always see the same menu.
3:00 This is acutally canon! The mod developers just put the assets from the original game in their mod. You can find the exact same newspaper and "shower salesman trophy" in Portal 2, (Spoilers ahead) right after opening the big door and hearing the first voice line from Cave Johnson.
8:17 Kill it! It’s evil. 15:40 Virgil yells at you no matter what route you take. He’s angry if you take the stairs, he’s angry if you take the elevator, he’s angry with you if you take the other rock path. 20:55 This one is Mel. I played through challenge mode, it was pretty difficult. It still has the story, story mode just has easier puzzles (challenge mode is how it was originally designed, it got nerfed and story mode was made). 22:33 Mel is inbetween portal 1 and 2. As you can tell from the post-credits scene, *_directly_* before portal 2. 31:21 I had basically the exact same experience in this section.
Also Mel and Revolution are prequels to portal 2 which is why glados' demise got referenced in them both. with characters completely different from chell the main character in portal 1 & 2
Portal: Reloaded and Aperture Tag are both good choices. Want Portal, but with a THIRD portal that travels through time? Portal: Reloaded. Want Portal, but WITHOUT portals and instead solve puzzles with the gels? Aperture Tag.
The Aperture being in a salt mine in Michigan is cannon. You find the same newspaper in Portal 2 same with the shower curtain salesman award. Cave Johnson ran a shower curtain business and made his fortune supplying shower curtains to the U.S. military during WW2. After the war he bought the salt mine in Michigan some time between 1945 and 1947. He rebranded Aperture Fixtures his home fixtures company to Aperture Science Innovators and began construction on the facility. in 1960s the older test shafts were sealed and abandoned in an attempt to hide the dangerous tests while Aperture was under investigation over countless missing people. As this was going on Black Mesa did have people on the inside leaking information to Black Mesa. Things such as the Gravity Gun and HEV suit were originally developed by Aperture and were stolen by Black Mesa. Black Mesa also may have stole the Aperture turret design and created their own to beat Aperture to the punch with a military contract. Aperture had far better and far more advanced tech compared to Black Mesa but Aperture was always too cautious and because of it Black Mesa was always able to beat Aperture to military contracts. By 1980 Aperture is going bankrupt due to their overly cautious release of tech and most Aperture tech was stuck in the testing phase. The portal project had been in development since the 50s and Black Mesa was quickly catching up. Its possible Aperture had access to Xen long before Black Mesa but they decided to shut that down due to how unsafe it was. In the 70s Aperture had been testing the ability to teleport entire ships and they had successfully teleported their ship the Borealis underground and back to the surface. Eventually this ship went missing and has not been found this is that boat that was referenced. The GLaDOS project was begun in the 1980s and she was brought online in the late 1990s after countless emergency shutdowns when she put Aperture on lockdown and began pumping neurotoxin into the Enrichment Center. Luckily they had the Red Phone contingency where she would immediately be shut down if she tried to put Aperture on lockdown. Her access to security and Neurotoxin was disabled and she was brough back online. At some point in 2003 she was allowed to use neurotoxin for a test and she immediately put Aperture on lockdown and pumped neurotoxin into the Enrichment Center killing most of the Aperture staff. The Red Phone contingency failed because she locked the control room. The surviving scientists were able to finish and install the morality core to stop her from pumping neurotoxin into the facility but she still had the facility on lockdown. Slowly she would trap the remaining staff killing them off all except for one. He was the person who wrote all those notes in the games and he suffered from schizophrenia which is why they always seemed like psychotic rambling. Only a week after Aperture's lockdown the Black Mesa incident happened which is why nobody came to Aperture in that time. After the Combine invaded they tried to infiltrate Aperture but GLaDOS killed all of them. The Combine after this point completely ignore Aperture likely labeling it a danger zone. Also most of the Aperture lore in this game is cannon. Oh yeah that octopus worker from another realm is cannon. Aperture figured out how to access the multiverse and they regularly steal test chambers from alternate Apertures. Not test chamber designs they literally steal the physical test chamber from the alternate Aperture.
I think the "boat" reference may have been an allusion to the Borealis from HL2:E2, who's dry dock you can can find In Portal 2 if you know where to look.
The “Boat” Virgil was referring to is the Borealis. In the lore of portal it was made as a response to Black Mesa’s teleportation experiments. However something happened and cause the teleportation devices on board to malfunction and it teleported to the Artic.
Portal Stories Mel- as an FYI- is supposed to INITIALLY take place before the resonance cascade in Half Life/Black Mesa(depending on which variant of that game you play- ultimately same primary story tho for that one.) which is before the events of Portal 1. However, it quickly after the beginning transitions to a period of time basically just after Portal 1- and just before Portal 2. It is safe to say that the time span between Portal 1 and Portal 2 is within the span of a couple of decades at most. Maybe a decade at least. considering Chell was probably in her early 20s when she first went to Aperture- which must've been before the events of Half Life 1- been in stasis for a lil while, woken up by Ratman, and then after the events of Portal 1- is put back to sleep for roughly a decade- which is around when Mel chimes in in this mod- and thus paves the way for Chell to be reawakened proper. Overall to me at least- and I know to some others- Portal Stories Mel is one of those portal mods that we would love to consider as part of the lore- despite it being unofficial and not made by Valve (however if Valve ever recognizes it as a viable part of the main lore for the Portal series half of the Half Life Portal universe- it would be amazing.) Also the reason Virgil in the beginning after you wake up from your long slumber of probably at least half a century to close to a century... speaks roughly like Cave Johnson- is to not cause Mel- lore wise anyways- potential death by being too jogged from a complete difference in well... *everything.* Put simply Virgil was doing it as a precaution just incase in terms of lore. If you need any other things within the game explained- I can probably answer. (being someone who has maybe played this game one too many times lol.) Also as clarification to what you just asked about at 21:23 regarding the Challenge variant of the chapters... It's still the same story and whatnot as normal- except harder. AKA the original levels as they were before final main release or whatever onto Steam essentially. Only really effects certain puzzles that were extremely hard and deemed unfit for the average player, and therefore the normal set of chapters is the revised set with modifications to those chambers that were simply too difficult for the average player. If you want a challenge(and respectively brain aneurism) I'd definitely recommend it as it's more true to the original mod when that was released on Moddb originally prior to the Steam release of the mod.
Love Portal Stories Mel! It was really fun to see your reactions to it. Agreed that the puzzles are pretty tricky. I shamelessly used a guide at several points, though was proud of myself whenever I did figure a room out on my own. As for future Portal mods: I highly recommend Portal Reloaded! It uses a new portal gun with a third portal that adds time travel into the puzzle mechanics. It’s wildly creative, brain twisting, and fun.
Mel was supposed to be the main character for portal 2 and left glados dead , but instead they continued with chell and glados in portal 2, so this is the scrapped story idea for portal 2 , and the boat mentioned in video was the Borealis witch was found in half life it was an aperture science ship that was portaled
Ya this mod plays with some expectations, it starts as a prequel to portal 1 during the early years of Aperture only to then put you in the time period in between portal 1 and 2 thus making it a midquel. I personally find this game to be challenging but clear in most of it's puzzles where as with Revolution I had multiple times where I just got stuck and had no idea what it wanted from me at certain steps without looking up a video to know how to proceed. Yes Mel did involve a more advanced tech which is not taught in base game called "cube respawning" and it does try to teach you about it early on because you would not think about spawning a new cube as a puzzle mechanic. It's one of those things you either get or struggle with if you don't. That being said the rest of the puzzles outside of some of the more complex ones are fairly straight forward in Mel. With Revolution it tends to lean into a LOT more difficult/abstract puzzle design which also involves multiple loops of the same steps at various points, which also causes frustration if you mess up midway having to redo a good chunk of progress including those loops. I guess I just prefer Mel as overall it feels more compelling and fun than what Revolution had to offer, not to mention the story is more portal connected and plausible than whatever the joke turn Revolution took later on.
You should definitely play Undertale Yellow. Its an Undertale fanmade non-canon but might be the most high quality, fun, well written, emotional, really good music- You get it its just like Undertale at rating. Its based on the Justice (Yellow) soul that fell just before Frisk (main character from Undertale). Also its Free on Game Jolt
4:21 my memory is a little fuzzy on it so I'm not sure if this is for sure but my personal headcanon isn't that you go into a deep sleep for a couple minutes _before_ doing some tests, rather the deep sleep _is_ the test
That ending with sunset, music, birds and destroyed, collapsed buildings it looks beautiful event the background main menu screen. Also the echo at the ending: "...you have been in suspension for 9 9 9 9 9 9....." ❤ The best mod I ever played and still nothing has beaten it
I just played Mel, and it is an amazing mod. It really is a whole other portal game. Even the nerfed story mode is significantly more difficult than Portal 2. Truly a great game.
I don't know if you know it but there is a mod named "Portal: Prelude" which is the prequel to Portal 1. And it got the classic Portal style that you like. (Thhis mod also got a RTX remake, you can ignore the remake)
I've never figured out how to solve 9:30... My solution was always -place cube on button with just a few pixels actually weighing it down -get on the piston with just a few pixels still on it -grab cube -piston moves me up with cube
Highly recommend trying out another portal fan game called Apeture Tag: Paint Gun Testing Initiative. It has a really fun story, 2 different endings, really fun mechanics/puzzles, and the robot in the game does a pretty good job at matching how glados/wheatley behave and speak in the main games.
There IS a Minecraft developer named Yens (not sure myself of the spelling), and its the red haired guy pictured in the vid. Jeb is who owned it before Microsoft
There's this game I found once called 'Project R4T' that is not very long but pretty interesting. I suppose you could make a short video on it. It is free on steam, and is about being able to change size. Each size can do different things, and there are also a few other things that make it interesting. Pretty cool, but again, could have more content
You should try Portal Prelude Just make sure to play the non-RTX version. The RTX is quite bad. Not only it has performance and physics problems but it has some dialogs removed due to consorship, but instead of replacing them, it just contains blanks that make the story confusing.
¡Genial! Simplemente te daré un consejo: Si juegas más mods de Portal POR FAVOR haz ejercicios mentales antes y después de tu sesión de juego. (créeme, esto te chupa la sangre del cerebro) ¡Suerte!
Hope you discover "Apriture Tag" (propably butchered the name). Basically, focus on portals has ben swapped with a focus on gells. You get a gel gun. All im saying.
Throarbin Gaming, I strongly suggest you to check out some others mods based or related on Portal and Half-Life such as: • Portal Reloaded (Free, and got The Cooperative Update) • Entropy : Zero 1 & 2 (Free) • Cry of Fear (Free, and also it's very well done Horror) • Aperture TAG (Free) • Half-Life Blue Shift (Need to Pay, and must have original Half-Life) • Half-Life Opposing Force (Need to Pay, and must have original Half-Life) Interesting Fact: Half-Life does not translate literally a half life or characters will not make to 40s, but rather Physical term [the time taken for the radioactivity of a specified isotope to fall to half its original value]... And also Gordon Freeman is not mute but voicing things, such as push of buttons and useable staff!
Now do it again but in Virtual Reality. (Yes there really is a VR version of this mod, not sure how good or motion sickness inducing it may be tho. Test with caution.)
You need to go back to Portal 2 in the retro sections...you can get a lot of history by REALLY exploring and inspecting all of the decoration. You missed Chell's science experiment, all of the news articles and such in the display cases, etc...there's a whole lot you missed (or, at least, didn't highlight) in your video on Portal 2...the fact that you noted the electronic potato battery, but not Chell's monstrosity was odd to me.
I just wanna say you are pretty hard on yourself you often claim to be stuck, you're not stuck some puzzles you get instantly some take you longer to figure out what works and what doesn't. Would be a bad puzzle game if you go through it with ease. Also the advanced mode was once the story mode and they made it easier. Maybe they are easier once you played the story version of it first but I had some sleepless nights not giving up on those puzzles when I played this on release XD

You are correct

There is a difference between fun and long puzzles, and repetitive puzzels

but instead of replacing them, it just contains blanks that make the story confusing.
it's wild how he hasn't known the main character's name this entire time. It's Chell, btw.

The main character from the canon games is Chell, not Mel. Pretty easy mistake though, but that definitely would have had you confused haha
20:53 this game is just hard
9:39 ok so that's how to do it i did my own method name brout force and geting box in the corner of the button
To know more about the "ship" play Entropy Zero 1/2
¡Genial! Simplemente te daré un consejo: Si juegas más mods de Portal POR FAVOR haz ejercicios mentales antes y después de tu sesión de juego. (créeme, esto te chupa la sangre del cerebro) ¡Suerte!
P.S.
I really want to see you play void bastards a space exploration game that if you die you have to restart the entire thing from the first Nebula
Yeah, mel is the 1 where they made an "easy" mode aka "story" mode, i to this day have not completed the original mode of mel..
18:45 Splatoon reference?
Second best mod (after desolation but that isnt out yet)
Boat? BOREALIS MENTIONED 🗣🗣💯💯
does anyone else think that Virgil looks and sounds oddly similar to Harry101UK's Virgil in "Meet The Cores 2"?
Hope you discover "Apriture Tag" (propably butchered the name). Basically, focus on portals has ben swapped with a focus on gells. You get a gel gun. All im saying.
you finally played it
Throarbin Gaming, I strongly suggest you to check out some others mods based or related on Portal and Half-Life such as:
• Portal Reloaded (Free, and got The Cooperative Update)
• Entropy : Zero 1 & 2 (Free)
• Cry of Fear (Free, and also it's very well done Horror)
• Aperture TAG (Free)
• Half-Life Blue Shift (Need to Pay, and must have original Half-Life)
• Half-Life Opposing Force (Need to Pay, and must have original Half-Life)
Interesting Fact: Half-Life does not translate literally a half life or characters will not make to 40s, but rather Physical term [the time taken for the radioactivity of a specified isotope to fall to half its original value]... And also Gordon Freeman is not mute but voicing things, such as push of buttons and useable staff!
Since when was Aperture Tag free?
Now do it again but in Virtual Reality. (Yes there really is a VR version of this mod, not sure how good or motion sickness inducing it may be tho. Test with caution.)
story mode was indeed harder than mainline portal. not sure if i even want to attempt advanced mode
if your going to play more fan portal games DO NOT PLAY FORBIDDION TESTING TRACKS or play it if you want you might now like the quality of it
Snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball snowball
17:20 what is simon blabbering about
What boat? The borealis?
You should absolutely try out entropy zero 1 and 2 for half life
Please do undertale no mercy run
PLEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSEEE
okayy, but what ship was he talking about?
Can you do portal reloaded?
later can you try portal reloded plz
portal reloaded next?
Aperture Tag next?
Do the error mod for portal 1
You need to go back to Portal 2 in the retro sections...you can get a lot of history by REALLY exploring and inspecting all of the decoration. You missed Chell's science experiment, all of the news articles and such in the display cases, etc...there's a whole lot you missed (or, at least, didn't highlight) in your video on Portal 2...the fact that you noted the electronic potato battery, but not Chell's monstrosity was odd to me.
I just wanna say you are pretty hard on yourself you often claim to be stuck, you're not stuck some puzzles you get instantly some take you longer to figure out what works and what doesn't. Would be a bad puzzle game if you go through it with ease. Also the advanced mode was once the story mode and they made it easier. Maybe they are easier once you played the story version of it first but I had some sleepless nights not giving up on those puzzles when I played this on release XD
Try Slime Rancher. Its pretty fun
you should play reloded as well i think it is hardest even harder than this mell
You should play portal reloaded
If a real portal three ever comes out, would you play it?
you should play hotline miami
Portal Reloaded next? :3
