The Portal is a single player Quake 4 map developed as part of a directed focus study at The Guildhall at SMU. The Portal was conceived as a study in how to use scripting and environmental design to enhance the gameplay experience in a level. The creation of this level was over a two and a half month period, accompanied by the time constraints usual of the school's class workload.

Development Time: two and a half months
