Hetzchase Developer Diary 01: It has an ending!

Without one in sight why not just make one right? Well it sort-of already had an ending, but that whole "fade to black and then disconnect the user" thing interrupted the flow of gameplay.

So how did I go about repairing flow? Well I just love the idea of doors that lead to nowhere sitting on a surreal floating platform drifting through space (the stars are kind of hard to see in the video).

Now when you reach one of Hetzchase_Nailways Seven endings you are taken here, allowing you to go back to the start, go back to the part where you obtain use of both portals, or go to a random chamber! I especially like the random door because it really can send you anywhere to any map, which can be very confusing, but as I've learned through the development process: Random = Better Replayability = Good!

Super horrible alpha version can be downloaded and played here:

instead of a level pack, you should make this into a mod; level packs are always so.... depressing.

[ianboswell]

it can work as either.

@dodgydogman

a map pack installs inside of portal.

a mod is its own seperate game, based on portal source files.

I do know, please stfu.

I was just saying that map packs always feel... unfinished, inside the game, whereas mods feel more polished with their own menus, etc.

@drakeishfyre What you just said made like so sense.

Im guessing you dont know the different between a map pack and a mod....
