Fun fact: The reason for their name: They really loved the Legend of Zelda franchise, and their favorite color is yellow, and Link does look really cool when he is wearing yellow armor.

They eventually grew up a bit and decided they wanted a name that doesn't affiliate themselves with another company or franchise, so they added a 'G' and found a cool picture. They could have gone for a completely different name, but they didn't want to confuse people and Linking-Yellow sounds really cool.

Happy Easter!

Happy New NepNep Year! OwO

@Volian2, I don't mind at all. Thanks for asking. Sorry for the late reply.

Hello! Can I use your enemy script (companion_button.nut) in my map?

Happy New NepNep Year! :3

omg you read it

Why wouldn't I read this?

you will never read this but i know your history with rage... i will not forget this.

i like your Portal 2 maps

im gonna be baldsy like my assistant BillCipher told me too, and just send you a friend invite to talk about Portal 2 stuff

hiya! you are a awesome map creator! I hope we can be friends!

1: User Generated Content. Like portal maps.
2: Because I don't know how. I would love to though.
3: I can help a little. I'm too busy to pump out maps the way I use to, but I can always offer suggestions, answer questions, and write simple vscripts to make your jobs easier. As for making full maps for your mod, that's very unlikely.
I recomend against trying to make a mod at the moment. If you and someone else can map well, make custome maps for the workshop. Experience from smaller scoped projects should help you in the long run if you want to try making a mod in the future.

Might I ask two questions? One: What does UGC stand for? And Two: Why don't you upload your videos to Steam? (EXTRA BONUS QUESTION): Could you help make maps for a mod I am making? I am not the best at hammer, and I have watched most of your hammer videos for help. I do need more map creators, though since only me and someone else are making maps for the mod.

That's mean. :(

Some sonic is bad, some is not bad, I care about my life, im not gonna freaking kill my self, lol.

lol

Eh, doctor who? I also love that show!

And im also trying to find a way to get the unused adhesion gel back ive been wanting to play with that gel ever since i heard of it.

Hello linking_yellow could i perhaps add u as a friend cause im trying to learn how to make a new gel for portal 2 but havent found anyone that can teach me

Depends on how much time I have. If I have a completely free week, which is rare now, I can usually do it in that week. If I have 2 free weeks, and I am going all out with a team, it can take those 2 weeks.

Linking, I was wonder how long it takes you to make a map (that is good).

I just used entity logic. A friend of mine put it into a mod for the pti, and put it on TWP as "Bluemod". If you want to try disecting it, have a look there. That was for my first hammer map, so I recommend recreating it to make it fit higher standerds as appose to just coppying it. If you just want me to tell you what I did, I added a func_brush, a logic_measure_movement, a gel spreyer(better if you do 2, so you can make the gel streams look different.), and a game_ui. I set the logic_measure_movement to track the players eye direction, and set that same direction to the func_brush. I set the func_brush to not be solid, becasue the Logic_measure_movement puts it inside the player, which would otherwise keep the player from moving....

... I then parented the gel_spreyer to the func_brush, so it would follow the players movement and eyesight without being inside the player, blocking the sprey. I set the speed of the sprey to be very high, giving the gun a far range, and a ton of acuracy, and set the spread to be very low, which increased the precition. I then used the game_ui to activate the blue gel fire on when attack_button1 was pressed, and dissable it on unpressed. I did the same thing for mousebutton2 and the orange gel. Assuming you know how to use hammer, it shouldn't be hard. As I said, I made this in my first hammer map, so it's not very complicated. If you don't know how to use hammer, just use the bluemod on thinkingwithportals. Also, I made this before Aperture Tag was a thing, so don't let people tell you that you coppied it from that mod, lol.

Sorry to bother you, but I must ask: How did you manage to implement the Paint Gun in your Tempor(t)al III map? I'm looking to use this mechanic in the future and would like to know how to use it. Was it keybinding? Modding? Please let me know! Thanks! :D

Well all of those who locally tested it for me locally didn't seem to run into this problem but that may have just been luck. Therefore I will probably try and do something else to the level to make it more clear, but I may not get to it for a bit cause I'm trying to milk the rest of the summer as much as I can. :D Regardless, when I finish I will message you if you and your crew want to put it in another video.

Trying to find out where to go is not what makes a puzzle engaging. I recomend highlighting the area the player has to go in some way. Lights are a great way to do this, but since you are using hammer, you might be able to get mroe creative. If you have to point the player where to go outside of the game it'self, then you probably havn't communicated the objective to the player well enough through the game, which is poor level design. Honestly, it was hard for me to follow what was going on because we are still trying to get a screenshare option that works, so pomeran may have just missed something obvious, so let us know if you really think it was that obvious, but if you want to change the level and make it convey the objective more clearly, let us know, and I'll try to get it in another episode.

Hey you recently did a video that included a playthrough of a Portal2 level I made and I wanted to give a hint in case you wish to try again. You should see other areas that you can access if you look around a bit. Namely in the room you were stuck in. You can find it via flying like a blimp. Try flying out of the portalboard facing straight up. It's the one next to the goo on the other side of the grate. Look around while you're in the air. I haven't seen this problem before so I was a bit suprised to see you get stumped there... Nothing against you though! Thanks again for testing my map! Yeah and the laser room's lightning needs help...

Thanks for the chamber review, you guys have given me a lot to think about for future submissions :)

Hey guys, thanks for letting me know about my test chamber - it turns out the file was corrupt, which explains why no-one's played it since the last update! I've re-published the chamber and it seems to be working now.

I love doctor who

Hey, I like your Depths of Android Hell Portal 2 map, it's pretty inspiring.
I'm developing a workshop series that takes place on the moon ( http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/p2moonbase ), involving voice actors, mappers, and animators. Can you give me any tips or suggestions for making/directing stuff like this? Thanks!

Yo, my map is public now. (sorry I just gotta make sure y;all know as it was all blooping out) thanks :3

I can off you max pyane3 with season pass, or mirror's edge, trine 2, for your witcher 3 ??

i added you, so let me know if u r interested.

SORRY BUT IM DELETING YOU FROM MY LIFE! *clicks delete* LOADING... ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ 99%. ERROR! It is impossible to delete our friendship. You
mean so much to me. Post this to 10 people's walls who you never want to lose. If you get 3 back, you're an amazing friend. :)

I really appreciate your work guys on making a bunch of new stuff for a game, such as scripts, scetches, music pieces, new objects but most importantly on my opinion, a brand new storyline connecting everyone with everything!
My tip: you could as well work on a new Half Life episode or mod, people seem to love you a really lot, when I firstly saw your group about this seeking for help on a guide Halo made (thanks a lot for driving me here!), I was really surprised there is a group for it, I also attend Harry101UK's vids on YouTube and I admire everyone's work in the "Portal 3" group, despite from the fact that everyone is doing a big or small part of their work.
Thanks a lot for caring for the game and have a good life!

me working on it recently? yes, everyday. coding, logo, and other stuff

Thanks for working on it recently. No one else has been for a few months, but seeing your work is inspiring me to try to get things going again. My new semester is starting this next week, but if it's anything like last semester, I suspect I'll have the time. Differences are, I have one more class then last semester, and I am much more comfertable at my new school, and know what time I can spare.

and yes im referring to portal revolution

well i made logo and have done lot of coding tho

but i really want maps to beta-test ;(

...I also am interested in replacing one of the mechanics with the really neat one I am almost finished with. (Replacing the tracking mechanic with Linking-Yellow Gel, which likely only has days left of developement.)(I'm assuming that your referring to the Portal: Revolution(Portal 3) Mod) Maybe now with the new year, we can try to get more people involved. The mod has been woken up from near death quite a few times, and I'm sure it's still got some life left, as there are many good ideas going for it.

Nope, We don't have a clear set of expectations for mappers yet. I was working on some, but the leadership of the mod team started desolving at the end of the summer. And I got pretty busy with other stuff. I've been hoping that I would have the opertunity to finish the custom mechanics before the mod got back on it's feet. The mechanics are still not finished, however I have made some really neat advancements. If I can get some help with the new mechanics, I can sooner focus on getting the mapping assignments ready...

is there any maps for me to beta-test?

@arlyn, Please don't send random links. There has been a lot of links sent out to me that are malicious, so I will not click any link unless I completely understand why. If you really want to trade, send a friend request. I'm going to deleate your comment in case it is malisious so no one else clicks it. I hope you understand if it was deliborately sent.

It's not in plans at the moment, but some of us are working with the second famous five for another colab map. It's just not going very fast at the moment.

Will the original Famous Five ever make another map together for Rage?

In my opinion, you are one of the best Portal mapmakers ever. Also, check Super Hexagon sir, I think someone *cough me cough* is beating you in several levels.
