Portal 1.5, a Portal remake using the Portal 2 engine, textures, and models, also spackling in some minor retcons. Not a terrible waste of time, as it is an interesting experiment. (pun intended)
Escher Technologies, a mod by the same guy, about an Aperture-esque laboratory with levels based on the art of MC Escher. In it’s early stages, so it stll looks like a Portal ripoff so far, but I hope it improves.
Is it just me or Source can achieve very nice environments ?
Source is very capable and powerful, yes. It suits many needs, and is relatively easy to use, from what I hear.
What’s Source?
If that wasn’t a joke, Source is the game engine, created by Valve Software, on which the Half-Life 2 and Portal franchises were built.
If that was a joke, I’m sorry I like to be helpful ;__;
It was a joke. derp.
Damn your avatar fits that so well
A Portal-esque game with Escher environments? Me want.
Is that Source ? :fffuuu::fffuuu::fffuuu:
I thought for a sec thats Farcry 2
It’s almost certainly on the Crytek engine which is really the best engine currently for environments.
Edit: Holy fuck it is Source! Well goddamn!
lol and people say that Source is outdated xD but they probably use “heavily-modified Portal 2 version” xD
The SDK of Portal 2 hasn’t been released yet.
rly ? im not much into these things so how is it that portal 1.5 run on portal 2 version ?
Part of it has I think but not the entire thing.
I think they are using the Alien Swarm SDK. I mean the Portal 1.5 creators.
From their moddb page:
A complete remake of Portal on the Portal 2 engine. I’m first going to recreate the entire game, with the same puzzles, story, etc.
Strange.
Portal 1.5 is made by one dude, just so you know. Escher Tech is also only made by him + 3 people.
Is he actually recreating the chambers from scratch, or just copying them and editing them for the P2 engine?
scratch
