I think there should be ONE level devoted to Portal-like stuff, called WORMHOLE. It would have the basics from Portal (the Portal Gun, turrets, cubes, the companion cubes, lab environments, elevators at the beginning and end, and Chell.

What do you mean "Portal-like stuff"?

Good idea. Like a LOT of teleports in a dungeon. Wonder how this will affect camera though, when in multiplayer one player goes through the teleporter and one stays behind.

PurpleSquerkle is yet to play Portal.
His computer is out of date.

It will be a one-player level, where only one character is created, and there are no exports, though the character can respawn. On top of all of this, there should be a way to aim the portal gun. For example, a fast usage to fire a wall portal, while holding it will fire a portal adjacent to the player on the floor. Turrets should be knocked over when bumped, BTW, and "using" in your left hand should pick stuff up with the portal gun. And to prevent losing the Portal gun, it should be attached/part of the Portal gun. And don't forget that there's a computer voice throughout the whole thing, with that computer at the ending, with some funny computer destruction...maybe there's a glass of water and the computer looks like a vending machine?  Or you just unplug it? And after defeating the computer, something happens that knocks you out.

First off, that sounds like it'd be very difficult to do.
Then: There's a line between parody and exact copying.
It's like the difference between having a Death Star level and having someone say of an enormous fortress: "That's no moon. That's a battle station."
I won't waste my time, though; I've said a lot in the thread about Styx as well.

That's cool idea, IF it's made simpler... I mean, it's hard to make.

@Purple: It's not an exact copy if it has a different ending, and if the computer that should be dangling from the ceiling looks like a vending machine gets unplugged instead of being torn apart and incinerated.

Although that would fall under parody, I still think it's too specific.
And difficult to pull off as well, that's my main concern, really.

What's up with this damn thread?
I read it and leave and it still marks as unread. I come back after a few minutes and it's STILL unread!
Now, hours later, it still is!
WTF Informe?

It does that for me all the time, with all threads. Try clicking "mark all topics in this forum as read" instead, that helps. ...sometimes.

For some reason the time at Informe was sometimes 5 hours behind.
