Portal: Project Beta

**CabooseJr** · April 6th, 2009 04:38 PM

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.

Here is a list that is from our ModDB page.
Features so far:
*New texture/Script system for crosshair
*New texture system for portals
*New texture system for metal surfaces
*Added new model of PortalGun
*Added a lot of content from Beta
*Fixed motion blur blur
*Added Beta turrets
*Added updates to the campaign mode
*Campaign is about 70% done
*New Music and sounds
*Trailer completed and coming with demo
*Demo 90% completed
*Male Player about 5% done (Still buggy)
*Mod Completion about 65% done

Here are some videos as well as the promo.

Sooo uhh, what's new besides a new gun, and different crosshair, and new portals?

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
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.

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.
