Well, I've been talking about it for a while now, so I guess it's time to show it off. Basically the mod is trying to recreate what Portal was like in the beta stages with various textures, maps, particles, and models. My part in the mod was working on the particles and my job is pretty much done. We managed to put the hand back on the portalgun. The Crosshair has been remade, although it isn't fully functional yet, it will still look good.

There's going to be a completely new campaign, a few bonus maps made by the guy that did Portal: Still Alive, and a lot more things that weren't mentioned such as the placeholder character Valve used and the crusher.

We also do have a website as well. Project-Beta (http://www.project-beta.com/index.htm)
Our Project Lead. Hunterbrute, plans on releasing the mod on Oct. 10th, but I will try my best to get it released earlier.

Wait, those meat grinder things from the original trailer?

I fucking raged when they weren't in the actual game, good to see someone putting them back. :iamafag:

Dayum Caboose, brings back memories of ExitE :)

If only I had my maps still on my pc, I made quite a few that were based off the trail footage.

Old particles ftw but will you also have the fire ones?

CaveJ is working on a side project for remaking the alpha fire portals. They aren't really ready to be showed yet because they look atrocious. The alpha fire portals are really tricky to recreate.
EDIT:

Well, It's been a while and I'm here to say that Portal: Project Alpha has been released (http://www.moddb.com/mods/portal-project-beta1/downloads/portal-project-alpha1).
