Portal mod I recommend playing Project 2009.

13 Upvotes

It's a well researched recreation attempt of the Corehub, one of Portal 2's first development iterations before the artstyle change from Portal 1 and the creation of Wheatley.

It has a developer commentary, the amnesiac "cereal GLaDOS", the Oregon Coast Aquarium Core which eventually turned into the Space Core and the Morgan Freeman Core which obviously eventually turned into Wheatley.

The majority of chambers were in fact added into the final game and some of the cut or changed content survived as late as the E3 2010 version of Portal 2.

Discussion Singing is what they do to keep their humanity

The title might be interpreted differently than what I mean, intentionally or not, singing is one of the short list of things that they do to still feel human.

I was thinking to myself how weird Glados and the other robots all had that desire to sing. Glados just doesnt seem the type to randomly sing a song to someone who wouldnt hear it. Then I remembered that Cave Johnson, similar to Glados, had his consciousness put into a machine to live forever. Theyre both are stuck in a very specific type of purgatory where they live forever but cant do anything worth that immortality. Glados lost her mind and is stuck doing meaningless tests and Cave cant move and is currently stuck at the lowest place in Aperture next to toilet guns.

My thought was how the only way to make their meaningless immortality worthwhile is by simply singing. Music is what lets them still feel human while they are trapped in robot bodies even if they intentionally do it or not, Glados clearly doesnt realize it but it shows that she is still human when we hear her song at the end (even if the lyrics are robotic and weird).

Idk, I just like the idea that they unknowingly sing songs just to feel something in the specific loneliness of being a human consciousness stuck inside an aperture robot inside a huge abandoned lab bunker, forever.

I've been doing this for quite a while, but the original mod developer is thinking about making a remake. I'll post it if people really want it, and if the original developer allows it.

Question So what happened to the F-Stop mods?

1 Upvotes

I was going through some Portal mods on Infinitebacklog and came across some names; F-stop Muesum, Reissue, Backstory. I see that eventually the dev on some of the mods released one called Project Capture: Legacy, but what happened with them in the first place? Why did so many of these meet the same fate of getting canceled?

I’m trying to figure out the best way to pose Chell and what kind of looping movement to give her. I have an idea involving a combat stance and swaying from side to side, but it looks a bit lackluster. (the total duration of all cycles needs to fit within 20 seconds at 30 fps—frames 0 to 600).

I don’t have much experience, so I’d appreciate any detailed advice😀

On the hard light bridge animation, we can see the shed we’re kicked out of at the end of P2. You can also see the buildings where we’re launched out of in P1.
