Description
[Easy-Medium Difficulty] Mandelbrot is a light bridge and laser redirection puzzle, with a focus on portal management. It is derived from an unpublished puzzle by my friend ViiNTAGE, called "Fractal". The visual theme (Night Therapy) is based on a custom style I created for my Portal-based Mari0 mappack, Simile Thoughts[forum.stabyourself.net].

Models:
Stefan H. - Modified Stage Light model
TeamSpen - Custom laser cubes, squarebeam corners/variants
Skotty (erikszeug)[www.erikszeug.de] - Squarebeam corners/variants

Textures:
Libbybapa - No-Respawn signage
All other custom textures by me
Wall art by me

Music: Faster[soundcloud.com] by me (safe for YouTube/streaming)

Many thanks to TeamSpen for all the help with Hammer-related issues and questions, with his many suggestions, tips and resources, as well as providing the amazing tools of Hammer Addons[github.com] and BEEmod[github.com] assets that greatly helped shape this chamber. Special thanks to Stract and MisterLambda for feedback and tips about the level design and aesthetics. Thanks to Kelsey for helping with some bugs and optimization.

Thanks to Sadiquecat, Konclan and Coffe for playtesting!

#LaserCollisionIsOff

Update: fixed Docentti's exploit, fixed Joric's exploit, fixed laser collision not carrying after saving (thanks, quaternary!), and made some small lighting improvements.
Update 2: made further lighting improvements.
Update 3: identified and fixed a major source of lag.

What a cool and relaxing puzzle. Thanks for turning off the laser collision and adding the calm music. That allowed many of us to focus on the beauty and details of the map while enjoying the logic. It looks like this map was lots of fun to make. Thanks for the smile:)
