What this map surprises the most is how all the circular props in the game are so compatible with each other.
You're right everything did fit together really well, physically and visually. evelyncarnate always does an amazing job with their maps
Thanks for watching!
0:31 - ❤
2:45 - That's one of the many things I learned from Demon Arisen's puzzle design philosophy: always show the player what they're working towards immediately
11:10 - Infinite thanks to TeamSpen210 for providing us with the miraculous vactube entities provided by his HammerAddons toolset
14:38 - Not on your channel, no
Awesome video! Knew you'd like the Pipe Dream paradise setting, but I must admit I was not prepared for the amount of suction-based innuendo 😅
0:31 great recommendation as always! thank you!
2:45 such a simple idea but makes a huge difference to the gameplay, the fun is working out what to do, not working out what's expected of you
11:10 the fact they all work those entities work together seamlessly is really impressive, like the animation of the things inside is seamless too
14:38 yeah i had a quick search after to see if i had played it, the feeling of understanding it was just from good puzzle design then :D
great recommendation thank you so much, definitely one of the best i've seen, and honestly i thought i limited the sucking jokes quite tastefully ....i mean i really could of gone the other way with that :D
much love!
Wow, I was hoping to see you play this but I didn't think it would be so soon! Glad you enjoyed, and as always thank you for being so thorough in reading the description and finding out about all the surrounding context. Nice to know my little attempt at a Demon Arisen-style in-character message wasn't a waste of time :D. One small thing - this map wasn't actually an *entry* for that TWP challenge. It did start life there, but the challenge was to make a map in 72 hours, whereas this map took just over two weeks. I'm excited to see you play the other maps entered though - my personal favourite was Catharsis by maxdragon, though I may be slightly biased given we were vc-ing for much of the time while making our own takes on catharsis. Still, it's an excellent map, and doubly impressive since he actually stuck to the time limit! Cheers
Dont you mean "GLaD"?
I love the idea that the tubes all actually go somewhere throughout Aperture! they are such an important thing to the idea of Aperture but they're usually just a dropper in a map, this was such a great idea to give them a real presence themselves.
When HugoBDesigner recommended it, and i saw your screen shots on the workshop it looked amazing and i wanted to check it out so i did it as soon as i could, and i was not disappointed! you, as you always do, did and incredible job, your maps are always a pleasure to experience, thank you so much for being part of the portal community and sharing your skills with everyone, i really do appreciate it, like honestly if there's ever a portal3, valve need to be begging people like yourself and others to come work for them to make it happen.
Just two weeks to make this is incredible too.
I have Maxdraggon's entry in the list to do and a few others from the competition, i do want to do them too just to see the different takes on the puzzle like this.
Thanks again for the maps, and as always for watching too! ❤
Evie is incredible, all their maps are so distinctly unique. Can you actually believe they made this in just a few weeks?! If I were the one tasked to make something like this it would take me an actual year.
Just you wait until I have 10 mana!
evelyncarnate definitely does some seriously awesome work, their maps are always beautiful and work so well, and seem to run perfectly too even with so much going on like this. it must of taken so much work just getting all of these entities to coherently place together and be so visually pleasing too. just a few weeks too? very impressive.
Thank you for still watching these and for commenting too!
LOVE the concept! At first I was like "why is there a puzzle/test at the central sorter, that doesn't make sense", but the whole aesthetic is pulled of VERY nicely and it now feels like someone went to Cave Johnson and asked for more space for building a chamber and he likely yelled at them to "build it literally anywhere in the facility" and there we have it. The most Aperture thing to do, put a puzzle literally in the sorter. The tube observation room is a nice touch as well
i love the idea that yeah the tubes do all actually go somewhere and run through out aperture rather than just being a dropper in a chamber, and that would be very Cave, there'd be some kind of rant about how he doesn't pay you to ask questions about where the science goes, just make the science go!
As always, thanks for watching!
6:06 not what i expected in one of these videos ngl, but honestly imagine the posibilities. miniaturized portal tech.
...sometimes my mind wonders ...i do apologise :D
Thank you for watching
This channel is the best thing i found this year
Thank you so much for saying that, i really appreciate it and i'm glad you like the videos :D
This one took me so long. I stood around and ruminated while listening to other things. I like this map very much!
You could easily spend ages in this map just taking all the details and quality of evelyncarnate's work :D
Thank you for watching!
Holy heck... Incredible map design. The lighting, the brushwork, the organization and optimization.
evelyncarnate always does and absolutely amazing job with their maps, really professional quality level design work!
Thanks for watching :D
Awesome play as per usual. And you can definitely see that you are getting better and better. To the point where the railing demon arisen gives, basically matches with how easily you get through chambers. Very well. As always, have a very nice day and catch you later 😊
I do think i'm getting a bit better at these, i mean i should be by now or it would be kind of sad wouldn't it :D
a lot of it has to do with how well a puzzle and map is designed though, like the player should be able to work out what they need to do and the fun puzzle part is working out how to do those things, it's not fun not having any idea whats even expected of you.
Thank you for watching and for commenting too :D
That was some class A hammer work, wow!! Really nice puzzle as well, of course. Great job not only getting through but also not stopping every few seconds to take it all in(after the first couple of minutes at least)
evelyncarnate always does and incredible job with their maps, professional levels of quality!
Thank you for watching :D
I myself would not shut up about how beautiful this map is!
This one was definitely something special to see :D
Thanks for watching
@@ngerumaAnytime! Your the reason I got into perpetual testing! :D
this map is amazing, super unique and interesting! i love that literally everything is a tube lmao
evelyncarnate always does such an amazing job with their maps, i really like the idea for the style too since the tubes in portal are so important, and they all have to go somewhere right? so a part of the game based on the tubes is really fitting.
Thanks for watching!
Contrary to the ending, this map most certainly did not suck! (I do not regret making bad puns)
Never. Never. apologise for bad puns!
Damn. So many maps I've ever heard, seen or thought of before. Makes me wanna get back onto Portal 2 again
I'd totally recommend getting back into it if you haven't for a while, theres so much awesome content on the community workshop now, you have map makers and modders like this sharing professional quality stuff that rivals the original game.
Thank you for watching :D
nice one! i already submitted my map yesterday :))
Thank you for recommending and map and for watching too :D
PIPES. SO MANY PIPES. OH LORD
love the idea that the pipes do actually all have to go somewhere in Aperture :D
Thanks for watching!
@@ngeruma i imagine as pipes being a living organism, just wrapping around the endless corridors of aperture. This fulfills that fantasy
I'm still trying to solve this one (I've not finished a Demon Arisen puzzle yet), so I'm leaving you muted in the background to keep me spoiler free. But please pick and choose from the following comments based on how you believe you performed in the making of this video:
Great video as always, Ngeruma!
You're too funny, Ngeruma!
[Inside Joke]!
Demon Arisen makes some great puzzles, this was one of their easier ones though, that or i had played "Catharsis" at some point and forgot about it, but sort of retained the idea at least somehow :D
Thank you for watching and boy that [inside joke]! gets me every time!
5:32 thats Atlas's puzzel entrance
oh yeah you're right, didn't even notice that, the floor from under Atlas's assembler thing? Well spotted!
Thanks for watching
Love the video :) i just submitted a map that i played a week ago
Glad you liked it, and thanks for recommending and map :D
Very awesome video! But still I wish they hammerized one of my maps. Speaking of which, you haven’t played a map of mine lately
are you very active on any of the mapping/modding discords? maybe you could propose a challenge yourself on one of those?
As always, thanks for watching :D
yay new evelyncarnate map! every time I play one of these, I feel like I'm playing portal 3. even though its the same engine, the art/visuals make it feel like a massive graphical upgrade
evelyncarnate's maps are always so impressive, their work is totally professional level quality, rivals the original game itself
Thanks for watching
THE TUBES!!!
easily the best and most tube themed map i've seen :D
Thanks for watching
Callumstar10 .exe has stopped responding to much science (note to ngeruma: sorry in advance for my absence in your next test(s) I’m working on the map for you sorry) also ngeruma you probably have played the map has been posted a lot of times in different styles
Yeah this was part of a challenge in the thinking with portals discord to restyle Demon Arisen's original puzzle, i have a few more entries from it too, i will likely do them in the future to see the different takes on it but need to at least slightly forget the puzzle between each :)
@@ngeruma ahh ok was wondering why almost every chamber was it but remade
Amazing visuals! Will need to play this myself first. I tried hammer, I know people say it is not bad to learn, but for me it was too much. I’ll stick with beemod for now
Hammer does have a steep learning curve to get into and it's not exactly the most user friendly software by todays standards but if you can get it into it allows you to do some amazing things.
Beemod is getting better all the time, and some time hopefully soon, portal 2 community edition will be released which is going to be like hammer made by portal modders for portal modders
store.steampowered.com/app/440000/Portal_2_Community_Edition/
@@ngeruma thanks for the encouragement. Do you know if P2:CE will be more user-friendly?
I forgot to watch thIs one. I like this map because it shows how massive the tubular infrastructure is in Aperture. Also you got SUCKED through this one. Als i hacked into a aperture server from the mtcu (massive tube control unit) and i read that these tubes are sometimes used to suck other….. stuff… that’s all i can say😉
it's really cool to see the tubes used like this and this is now pretty much part of my personal head cannon, that this huge mess of tubes serves every other map we play with tubes in.
as for the other uses of these tubes and their sucking properties ...i'm not sure were you'd ever get such filthy ideas from! certainly not from me, i would never say something like that this is a family friendly channel after all :D
also thank you very much for going back and watching videos later on!
i love tubes
i like your vids
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching! :D
Tube 👍
Many tube :D
Thanks for watching
I tought it was a gd level by looking at the thumbnail from 2 inches away
Some maps are great for thumbnails like this :D
Thanks for watching
jump in the pit (I was thinking at 5:15 )
How are these mapes made?
Valve Hammer.
like @faridunique1727 says, these are done with Valves Hammer editor software which was developed to make games like half life and portal in the first place, that plus a lot of skill and creativity :D
Thank you for watching
