Sweet, I can't wait to see what people come up with.
OTOH, I can see a bunch of people making unsolvable maps to troll everyone.

I hope they require the user to complete their puzzle before being able to submit it.
That's a really smart and simple idiot check. Shouldn't be too hard to implement and would weed out a lot of trolling.
Always thought they were too short, seems half the game is spent teaching you the mechanics of the game.
Fan-made puzzles would be fun, I know most would be pretty complicated.
Funny to see how many "bogus" stuff people put in, making you scratch your head... cause you don't have to use half of it

So looks like The Sims... but instead of inane things like taking a shit and going to work jobs, you can actually play through your creation?

I'm pretty sure the actual addon doesn't have all the little guys working at computers...
It's just a level creator/editor.

Nooooo! My dreams of playing out Portal puzzles with little 2D workers are crushed! Thanks a lot Maverick.
there's really no way to check for this, only practical solution would be some sort community driven rating system. wasted time is inevitable, any sort of 'completion check' is just more data that could be manipulated by anyone who actually wants to get past it.
what I'm really looking forward to is how this will likely fast track any organised series or mini-campaign projects, I would love to see another 'portal prelude' or some such. this was pretty slow going and took forever to release for the first version when they didn't really have the proper tools.

Can't wait...but I am still stuck at the top of the builds inside the cave...with white,red,blue paint.... so I might suck at hard puzzles.
The upload button is at the elevator on the other end?
What happens if the guy who tests the map is a Portal pro... still going to troll a lot of people.
You mean like a huge level that consists of ten minutes of flying without touching the floor?
If that's the case we might actually get a puzzle game with some difficulty instead of the scripted linear corridor stroll for 10 year olds and console players that was Portal 2 single player.
There's no feeling of achievement if there's never a risk of failure.
