After Hours

“A very simple laser-faith plate puzzle featuring Schrödinger's cubes. I actually made this one a while ago inspired by the Portal: Revolution trailer, but I've ran into some issues with my implementation of Schrödinger's cubes, which lead me to abandoning working on this chamber. After getting back to working on my BEEMod package and making some fixes to the aforementioned cubes, I figured it would be a shame to let this chamber go to waste. So I cleaned it up a bit, improved visibility there and there, and here we are!” ~ The description of the original puzzlemaker version of After Hours.

My entry for the PMaM "Aperture Abandonment" competition. A hammerization of my map "After Hours" in a variant of my P1-P2 hybrid style. Following the emergency shutdown of the central core, a test subject wanders a sector of the facility which sustained noticeable damage in the chaos that ensued after GLaDOS was put out of commission. While functional, the test chambers were cut off from the main power grid and are now running on emergency power. Though the facility feels even more abandoned and lonely that ever, it's clear that something, or someone, must be keeping it from falling apart. Whatever, or whomever they are, they have assumed GLaDOS' role after her demise, and they're not too keen on openly revealing their presence.

The map was heavily inspired by Portal Pro, particulary chamber 15, "Cage". I also took a bit of inspiration from chapter 1 of Portal: Revolution and the first map of Portal 2's cooperative campaign.

Music: Android Hell from Portal.

• Any sorts of glitches, speedrunning tricks, cube throwing, etc.

• Cubes randomly bouncing off the wall and landing on the grates when launched by the faith plate.
