Portal: the Flash Version MapPack Situation

One of the most popular flash games out there is Portal: The Flash Version. In fact, a few years ago a man named Hen Mazolski (my guess is that he’s not American) recreated the entire game into Valve’s Source Software Development Kit (SDK). This turned out to be one of the most famous Portal modifications ever created, and WeCreateStuff even advertizes it on their Portal: The Flash Version page! Mostly because they own it though.

But in my opinion (and many others) some things were not quite delivered as they should have in the mod.

Indestructible Core Intelligence- The Tesla Coil

Recently me and my technician, Thomas (he wants his last name anonymous), tag-teamed a project I thought of a long long long long long long long time ago for my mod ICI Laboratories, which was the Tesla Coil. For those who don’t know what a Tesla Coil is, it’s a giant metal tower that has a ton of metal rings on top of it that emanate massive quantities of electricity that stream out in random directions and is guaranteed death if you’re standing too close to it. Somehow the only purpose people have found for it in real life is to use it as a musical instrument-  which is an… interest… use for a death ray.

Back on topic, after a couple days of scratching our heads and saying “I can’t figure out how to make this! Is it even possible?” I discovered the point_tesla entity and soon realized just how insanely easy it actually is. In fact, it was so easy we ended up laughing at ourselves for how dead-simple it was (well to be more precise I laughed my head off at Tom, but I’m not sure if he laughed at all).

Indestructible Core Intelligence Laboratories

Me and my team, Blue & Bluer, have been working on a mod for Portal 2 called Indestructible Core Intelligence Laboratories, or ICI Laboratories for short. This mod is a story-driven innovative mod that… is… innovative… and… stuff…  Here is a sneak preview of some of the concept art:
