[QUOTE=SXBIG;50394864]Are any of the Portal Mel devs working on this, cause it feels familiar.[/QUOTE]
Technically yes, Lamarr helped some with Portal Mel.

Well, God I hope he wasn't in charge some of the stuff that irritated me so much about that mod.
I'm willing to bet that because of the 80s esque portal gun and the mod's title, that this takes place right after GLaDOS first goes online.

I recall it taking place when [sp]wheatley took over aperture[/sp]
Hello everyone, just noticed this thread that Rich was so kind to create even tho I had no intention to do myself.
I'll try to address some questions you guys had so,
WARNING BIG WALL OF ANSWERS!
[QUOTE=bitches;50392064]What is this mod? What's the premise as it might read if it were on a Steam store page description?
How long do you think until whatever this is is ready to play?[/QUOTE]
Premise:
The story, triggered by the p2's events, will branch off into it's own, shedding more light on Aperture's past as the player explores its old abandoned parts, experiments kept secret and its relation to Black Mesa as a new major threat slowly rises.
It is more story oriented rather than test intensive.
Also there's a heavy Half-life influence in the environments and will also bring the two games a bit closer story wise.
About the second question... what better way to put it than with the great phrase "These things, they take time :( ".
[QUOTE=Zadrave;50392069]It reminds me of the plasma rifle from doom. Very boxy shape.[/QUOTE]
Although not the overall design, the energy exhaust vents on the side were directly inspired by the plasma gun from Doom 3.
Shown off here:

[QUOTE=TornadoAP;50392523]It's being developed by Lamarr? I'm going to be severely disappointed if there isn't an easter egg in the mod where a turret espouses how Israel and BLM is all to blame for what's going on in the mod.

You might be confusing me with Lama[B]r[/B] (one r only), although easter eggs [I]will[/I] be present. :)
[QUOTE=download;50393010]So, was the pulse/gieger counter inspired by FO4?[/QUOTE]
It's just something I came up with on my own, never played any of the Fallout games myself.
[QUOTE=Mattk50;50393135]This game needs a really disturbed portal shooting sound effect to fit the theme of the game.[/QUOTE]
The video above should give you a feel on the gun's sound design, which Spencer (sound designer) and I've been putting alot of work into getting right.
[QUOTE=lxmach1;50393552]It bugs me how much light the gun doesn't receive at all; not when they approach the door, not when the door opens, not when they step through, etc. I wonder if that's an engine issue or a dev oversight.[/QUOTE]
This. P2 modding is very limited given there's zero access to code. As stated above it's an engine thing that'd require nothing short of Valve themselves fixing it with an update. Might as well throw in few more projected textures in the limit that's currently one being rendered at a time.
When working on PS:Mel, we did contact them to fix the projected textures they broke with an update though, and to our surprise they actually responded with a fix.
So might give it a try at one point myself.

I was responsible mainly for the animations and particle effects for the things like the portalgun and scenes including this one:

Had no involvement in story or gameplay.
[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;50395710]I recall it taking place when [sp]wheatley took over aperture[/sp][/QUOTE]
Yes,I released a video of the intro although a bit dated (3 years now).

Hope that answers some of your questions.
[QUOTE=Lamarr;50395924]wall of answers[/QUOTE]
Seriously good job on this. The portal gun animations look amazing

I'll play this mod
Portal was a fantastic series, as annoying as the memes it spawned are. I'm looking forward to this - you guys' work is easily Valve quality, better even. This could be sold as an official expansion based on what I've seen so far.
[QUOTE=AtomicSans;50392026]I adore the 80s portal gun.[/QUOTE]
looks *slightly* too shiny though. idk what the terminology for this 3d stuff is, but a matte finish would really nail down the industrial look it has

Played around with the material settings for quite a while before ending with the current look, I find it looks the best this way rather than the overphonged mess thanks to how source handles phong shading.
Do you plan on having custom wheatley narrated sections, or is it just going to be you, trying to get out of aperature?
Because if its the former, would love to see harryuk doing voice lines.
His wheatley voice isn't spot on, but there are pretty much no Stephen merchant impressionists out there, let alone ones tied so closely with portal's universe/games.
Wheatley is not making an appearance, and it will be a silent mod for the most part. No companions planned.

That is some great news, got tired from infinite "adventure with the core" stories already
Christ was that intro video made 3 years ago? Keep it up Lamarr, you kept me going throughout my Source years.
Here's the General Game Discussion thread if anyone is interested.

Shit. Well at least now you have to add it as a monument for my fuck up. Hell, I'd be willing to voice all the lines if you want me to.
Lamarr is a godlike map maker. I have nothing but high hopes for this.
This looks so official, hope it's eerie!
