'Adhesion' | Perpetual Testing #206 | Portal 2 Community Maps & Mods

Perpetual Testing #206
“Adhesion”
By Prototype
Portal 2

The first chamber I have ever played featuring the totally under utilised Aperture Adhesive Gel!
Well sort of, it’s actually a very clever script made by Prototype and released to the Portal modding community.
You aren’t technically sticking to walls and ceilings, its actually the world flipping and rotating around the player, which when you think about it, is an incredible bit of modding!

I wanted to fill this description with bad puns relating to anything that sticks to anything but nothing i could come up with was funny enough and stuck.

If you are interested in using Prototype’s Adhesion Gel in your own Hammer maps, you can find the relevant files, including read me documentation, created and kindly provided by Prototype here:

These files are the creation and property of Prototype that he is very kindly sharing!
I am only linking them here for the conveinience of those interested.
If you do use these files, then make sure you appropriately credit Prototype for his work!!

Thank you for joining me as I test my way through the infinite number of community test chambers, custom made testing scenarios, mods, and player made maps available for Portal and Portal 2 through the Steam Workshop.
All thanks to Cave Johnson and his Perpetual Testing Initiative.

In (implied) conjunction with Aperture Laboratories, further testing is to be carried out in perpetuity

SPOILER WARNING:
I’m going to complete it!

P.S.
I am aware of the legitimacy regarding the cake.

Tbh, I like how the gel blobs are glitched to not instantly burst on cubes... It's surprisingly thematic with the fact that it's a _sticky_ gel, meaning that it'd have much stronger surface tension and stuff.

[opliz]

"This was an old production line of a gel the lab boys called the "adhesion gel", we stopped producing it because it made test subjects motion sick, what a pity"

[HugoBDesigner]

9:28 - This is a bug that affects all gels, actually. It's not a quirk of adhesion itself, but rather how gel bombs specifically work. BEEmod actually offers a workaround for that in the form of preemptively bursting the bomb when it comes into contact with a cube :P
18:21 - That is the _one_ thing I didn't like about this map. I feel like portal orientation is something too unclear to rely on when making puzzles

I'm also very much looking forward to Desolation's adhesion puzzles. I think the element has potential, but it's very difficult to pull off in vanilla Hammer!

[sovietunion]

I like how the gel looks like the disappearing purple glue even the little bubles

[sb_yt]

truly a creative way to implement cut content into portal 2

[savasyn]

Everything about this is awesome! The fun factor, the new ways of thinking, the color, the bad ass hammer work, all of it!! And you can stick cubes to the wall!! Love it.
Clever solve on that last bit of chamber. Bonus shout out to the Thrust Fall! :)
Seriously, huge props to you for putting out a video every single week for over 200 weeks. That is a monumental task, especially for someone who does this for fun and not a full time gig. Keep 'em coming and we'll keep watchin'!!

[MisterLambda]

This map is a marvel of technical ingenuity, very impressive, kudos to the Author.

4:08 However I do assure you that the Adhesion gel in Desolation is of much more palatable flavor. Expect to be completely engrossed in minty green freshness.

(Although obviously introducing sticky gel down your esophagus might cause some unwanted side effects, you’ll simply have to weigh the pros and cons.)

In all seriousness though can’t wait for you to see what kind of sticky gel puzzles we have in store for the game, still a while off unfortunately but we’re all hacking away at it bit by bit! So someday!

[lAmTheeOne]

When i got my son the map he had been watching on youtube he flipped! Props to whoever made this. somebody needs to compile all the great maps, the stuff we download regularly, to put it nicely, are nottt that good.

[yay_starving]

2:35 the reason this gel was completely cancelled from the entire portal 2 game is because of it giving motion sickness to the playtesters, even when the creators play tested it themselves it was so weird they had to remove it.

[fakefilthyfrank]

congratulations on hitting 900 subscribers

[beatboxthemovie]

they should put the adhesion gel in portal 3. btw it looks like the Grimace shake

[Anaerin]

This was a kind of paint in Tag: The Power of Paint, which had an on-screen arrow to indicate "down". Apparently they did try to use it in Portal 2, but it was too disorienting for playtesters, leading to some getting motion sickness and vomiting. So it was scrapped.

[Pixxeell___]

btw adhesion gel is in p2:ce but it's green, it's really fun to play with tbh

[DakelNL]

This gel didn’t make it in the game since playtesters got motionsick from it, it’s why GLaDos starts with saying how others got sick but you probably won’t

[YishaiBarr]

I think this wouldn't have been possible within PTI a few months ago. The workshop removed a few limitations regarding certain custom content.

[omicrondelta]

I love how you spend 2 years to actually do stuff 🥰

[meggubravo]

For a sticky gel it sure is hard to make it stick to cubes

[Le_Shoman]

The green gel?
The reflection gel?
Also the ad rickrolled me :(

[whyamihere]

i've seen in a video that the reason why the adhesion gel is not in the game, is because the playtesters got "dizzy". if there was a time that you rotate(like in the video) maybe it would've helped.

[strangeactuallylegume]

It’s funny to hear a slightly cheery British “Aaaand we fucked that up entirely!” Idk why, it just tickled me
