Maps - 2019
These are my 2019 maps, listed in reverse chronological order (ie newest first).2019 was the first time I touched Hammer to try making custom chamber content, though on a very small scale and only for one map. It also featured some new technique improvements on my part, yielding more robust and more appealing maps.
You -> In a Stronger Box
A revamp of "You -> In a Box" from 2017, expanded and made harder.

Blindside
A map so named because the ideas for it came out of nowhere. It also contains the core idea of an older map of mine from 2017 that ended up being scrapped due to being inelegant and full of difficult-to-resolve design issues.

Reversible Reaction
Another one of my old, abandoned-for-years ideas, revisited, completed, expanded, and cleaned up. Also one of the first maps to set my "the name hints at a move or frame of mind in the solution" pattern. :P

Four Islands
This level was actually in the making since 2017; I created the core idea and never really expanded on it, leaving it untouched for two years. While the result is a fairly easy puzzle, at least it is a puzzle.

Flux
This one grew out of a tiny idea, and became a full chamber by simply expanding and adding new elements and tricks. It is also my first time using paint fizzlers; maybe these will help restrict the flood of white goo somewhat. :P
