Ambystoma Dumerilii

Ambystoma dumerilii, also called the achoque, is a neotenic salamander native to Lake Pátzcuaro. It is closely related to the axolotl, and shares many similarities with it, sadly including its status as a critically endangered species. Several captive colonies exist currently, the largest of which counts ~300 achoques and is run by nuns, who previously used the salamanders to produce a dubious cough syroup.

A map based off Blue Portals, and featuring some of its puzzle elements. I took a lot of creative liberties with the style here, as a matter of fact this chamber was made just to experiment with detailing and geometry. In the spirit of experiments I also decided to give VRAD++ a try, but I don't know yet if I'll keep using it. The puzzle here is very simple and doesn't make heavy use of Blue Portals' mechanics, but at the same time I feel it might be just a little harder than my other BP maps. Though, I am not the best judge of difficulty ^_^;

Custom mechanics used in this map are explained below:

• Water: Just water. You can swim in it, and you can't place (or fire) portals while in it.
• Zapper: Electrifies a water volume, causing it to kill players and fizzle cubes on contact.

That'd be all from me, have fun ^-^

Music: "Metal Bliss" from Blue Portals

(By the way, this music track is really nice. I also used it in the first map of an as-of-yet unreleased mappack, maybe one day I'll finish working on it.)
