First 2 mins of Chell’s Legend
by Generalvivi on June 14th, 2011
Time for an update! So it’s been a while and I know you are all wondering what’s going on and when THE F IS CHELLS COMING OUT I MEAN WTF JUST RELEASE IT ALREADY!!1!!. So I felt that I should not tease you and just show you the intro I’ve been working on for Chell’s Legend.
It’s still a work in progress but I feel like it’s in a good enough state to show off. I hate not showing you guys stuff so this is the first step towards a pledge to give up the goods (so to speak). I recently just got a new job and am having to deal with moving and all that fun stuff. So sadly I’m not sure I’ll have the time to finish Chell’s the way I want to, BUT! I’m not going to leave you guys hanging, I’ve put together a small plan for Dev releases (similar to how I’m handling Coretex Cluster ) SO DON’T WORRY MY FRIENDS! The Legend will be released one way or another!
Don’t forget about the steam group and all that awesome Jazz!

Hey all! I figured it was time I released the original song created for the Chell’s Legend Trailer! I hope your ears are ready to be tingled by the wonderful music of Cosmic Dreamer. Cosmic has been mostly in the l4d community helping out with such campaigns as Dead Before Dawn. I was glad he took the time to help out with Chell’s Legend and hope to see more of his work in the future! If you would like to hear more of Cosmic’s music check it out at the Apple Store!
Lost Love - Behind the Scenes
by Generalvivi on March 19th, 2011
Hey all! March has been such a crazy busy month, first week I went to GDC (which was awesome) and then I traveled to Green bay to give a speech at ITT Tech followed by traveling back to Cali for a business trip. Well I finally got back to good ol Madison and I’m buckling down and screwing on the mapping hat. I thought to myself what a better way to celebrate then to release some behind the scenes footage of one of my older trailers.
I’m sure you can recall the sad story of the two companion cubes split up by forces out of their control. This sad tale will hopefully have a good resolution one day but today is not that day :(. In this video I explain how their journey was started and constructed with my BARE hands. I hope you’re able to handle a relapse of emotion because we’re about to take a trip back in time.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

Warning! Trailer Incoming!
by Generalvivi on February 7th, 2011

Trailer day is a wonderful day in a mods life when it gets to prance around and express itself. Today, Chell’s Legend comes before you as a small and humble mod with high hopes. In this trailer I present to you Part 1 of Chell’s Legend, I’m not quite sure how many parts there will be but whatever it takes to tell the story!
I’ve been working diligently on the project in hopes to get it finished before Portal 2. Most of my work recently has been on the story. Gameplay is important to me and I want to make sure I hit quality over quantity.
The trailer you are about to watch (or skipped forward and watched already) was constructed by Fearlezz. He is a talented mapper currently working on Factum Solus which can be found on Moddb and Desura.

Tutorials? Needed?
by Generalvivi on January 2nd, 2011
So it has been brought to my attention that I should have a training map to RE-teach people normal portal gun mechanics. I found a pretty decent place to put it and a semi “hey here is a tutorial” way about doing it. My question, is 1 room that contains : 1 button , 1 fling , 1 gap to portal across, enough for teaching someone how to ride a bike again?
(super wip shot from hammer)
In my head this seems like a very straight forward oldschool portal puzzle. Grab the cube, hit the button, and magic happens. Could I be missing anything or should this cover all my basic needs?

Big Tv + Steam = Awesome!
by Generalvivi on December 21st, 2010
I just recently purchased a laptop and I noticed it had an HDMI slot on the side. I decided to hook it up to my family’s tv in the living room. This turned out to be sooooo awesome! Even the sound came through the 5.1 surround sound speakers. I played bits of css / portal /and machinarium. Here are some pics of me playing the new portal mod “Blue Portals” and then Chell’s Legend :D.
This vacation has really givin me the time I need to sort some things out with the mod. I’ve been trying to focus on what will take Chell’s legend to the next level and what I can do to help it continue to grow. I really want to be able to keep releasing content and add in user created stuff as well. I’m Hoping to release the mod on Desura, it looks like a great platform to release on and has a lot of great tools for developers like myself. I really can’t wait to jump in there and start releasing content!
More to come from me as the holidays move on!

Welcome to the Team!

I would like to take the time to recognize our newest member to the team Cosmic Dreamer! He will play a vital role in creating music for our story moments in Chell’s Legend. Currently he is working on the official trailer track (gets excited). Cosmic has worked on many mods in the past including the recent Dead Before Dawn that came out for l4d and now l4d2 (which I also worked on). Not only does Cosmic make awesome music he also works in the editor to help find bugs and issues with maps. If you haven’t heard his music before give a listen!
