I'm proud to announce that the map system is up and running for testing. The current system allows you to upload your maps and to rate, download and comment already uploaded maps. The list is empty when I write this so you can't really check it out atm, but I've tested it and what I can tell it's working as intended.
However, as stated this is a test phase so should you find any error, glitch or just if you've got an idea, please PM me and I'll accommodate you.

I heard today that VALVE plans on releasing an update to the Developer Tools mid this week and the whole SDK update at the end of this week. Might I remind you that it is VALVE we're talking about, but I like being optimistic so this could be a big week for the Portal community.

Other updates include a minor cosmetic fix for Firefox browsers on the menu, it should be OK now, but it's yet to be confirmed. It's no biggy but every detail matters.

There was an issue with being logged out of the forums all the time which has been fixed. The forums are now working as intended(though not looking as intended, yet).


Enjoy the update.

As you probably have noticed, the design has been updated. This one is a bit more friendlier to the eye than the last one and most of all - it has drawn inspiration from the weighted companion cube!

Coming updates will include a more integrated template for the forums and the map-system.

Enjoy

The first ever version of companioncube.net has been launched.
This is just a temporary thing to get out there and start to cultivate a user base, making this a very important time for us.

Custom maps, movies of speed runs, recipes of cake; these are just a few of the things we plan on hosting. So come on, help us grow to provide Portal with the community it really deserves.
