Mandelbrot

[Easy-Medium Difficulty] Mandelbrot is a light bridge and laser redirection puzzle, with a focus on portal management. It is derived from an unpublished puzzle by my friend ViiNTAGE, called "Fractal". The visual theme (Night Therapy) is based on a custom style I created for my Portal-based Mari0 mappack, Simile Thoughts.

Models: Stefan H. - Modified Stage Light model TeamSpen - Custom laser cubes, squarebeam corners/variants Skotty (erikszeug) - Squarebeam corners/variants

Textures: Libbybapa - No-Respawn signage All other custom textures by me Wall art by me

Music: Faster by me (safe for YouTube/streaming)

Many thanks to TeamSpen for all the help with Hammer-related issues and questions, with his many suggestions, tips and resources, as well as providing the amazing tools of Hammer Addons and BEEmod assets that greatly helped shape this chamber. Special thanks to Stract and MisterLambda for feedback and tips about the level design and aesthetics. Thanks to Kelsey for helping with some bugs and optimization.

Thanks to Sadiquecat, Konclan and Coffe for playtesting!
