Has anyone ever thought of doing a Tron mod for 'Portal'? I bet if we got the right people together we could pull it off. If anyone out there is good at moding Portal, let me know what you think.

Yes I have thought of it. but I thought only of a few things:
1: I can't mod
2: what would portals, turrets, goo (if using portal 2), and cubes be doing in a Tron game?

However, I'm sure I could be a story advisor, and find uses for everything. Ideas are already formulating!

but who would be the villain? A HUGE part of portal is GLaDos. But who would take her place? It would be lazy to recycle the MCP....... Again. Maybe it could be a user! We've never played that angle before! Like in the first Tron, when they talked to their programs? A USER could be the villain! Yeah! it's be like this!

Opening Scene:
First person view. program wakes up. (imagine the death screen in Tron 2.0, but reversed.) Program gets up. Program looks around room, When suddenly...

USER: Ah, good. My new (insert program type here) has finally completed. Hello, My name is Ryan Quincy. You are called... (hear keyboard typing) Arun. You are to find and return another program that I can't seem to find on my own, designated Poller. and good thing too! this is the PERFECT time to test you out. You'll go through the "simulation grid" on your way. Using the special attachment on you.

Arun looks at his gun.

RYAN: This should allow you to get through the many sectors with ease. Well.... sort of. Anyway, off you go! (portal opens up the way out of your cell.)


It'd go something like that I'd figure. Would you like to hear how I think it'd end?

Aww, but don't you think they'd make a cute couple?

As ashamed I am to say........ Yes.

Well, Glados would start to get angry at MCPs lack of responsibility, and probably alter his personality. it'd be okay at first, but it would lead to a divorce.

Yeah, but I think that maaaybe making Aperture Science in the same universe as encom, (and thus also the events of the half life games) just doesn't feel right. But, I like the Idea. perhaps the, "ENCOM Instant Program Routing Engine," instead?

Incinerated at the end of the first game.

Then deleted at the end of the second game.

I really like the idea. I used to know how to do basic mapping for Portal 1, but not anymore. If you need voice acting I could possibly provide that. I think you guys are overthinking some things though like all the backstory. I like story and backstory, but I feel like if you focus too much on making it work this is never going to get finished.

So we have identified where you are
And what you have
And what it does

But WHY are you doing it? In portal, you're testing. You are trying to complete tests for science. But why are you accessing the functions of a program routing engine?

But why are you accessing the functions of a program routing engine? Ladies and gentlemen, we have a plotline. Let's get to work! "......." ...That's a good question. I figured that it's still going to be a testing environment, and, of course, the user testing you has a diabolical scheme ready for the engine. The program you play as is just for the tests, until he figures out what's up and starts fighting back.

AWESOME
