'Hey, it's Cave. Chariots chariots. It seems that when you went through the multiverse transporter also managed to alter time and sent you to... E3 2010. The lab-boys are working on getting you back to the present-day Earth Prime, just keep testing for now.'

✕ ························ ✓

Difficulty: 2.5/10 - this puzzle is partly timing-based, the core elements being a faith plate, an autoportal-toggle button, and cube-respawn activation delay.

Thank you to:

• Kyleraykbs - for convincing me to just use VScript for the autoportal logic instead of losing my mind over Hammer logic. I now know VScript (Squirrel), which has been on my bucket list to learn for quite a while now.
  
• CallMeKitty - for playtesting both the puzzle and the final map. She's also been pretty helpful when I've needed someone to bounce ideas off of, I'm grateful for her feedback.
  
• MrGermanDeutsch / Ashley Ashes - for also playtesting the puzzle and final map. She had good suggestions on how to improve the puzzle, several of which I ended up implementing.

  1. Portal 2 Betapack, the contents of which are scattered all over the map. Most notably, the observation window frames, their global_ents (which I used in this map), and their model replacement VScript (which I modified to also replace cubes and the portalgun.)

The following credits are for assets I sourced from GameBanana. I modified them all to fit my own workflow, ranging from recompiling the models to a separate directory to prevent them from overriding the base game assets, to borrowing their materials to use on my own custom models for the purpose of using in this map.
The way in which I modified these creators assets, beyond moving relocating them to 'beta/' to prevent asset overrides, will be specified.
