Portal 2 Getting In-Game Map Editor Next Year

Valve looking to make map creation way easier for Portal 2 fans.

Soon, you too will be able to make your own Portal 2 levels full of weird goo!

UPDATE: I've added screens of the editor--really impressive stuff.

The next piece of content for Portal 2 is something slightly unexpected: an in-game map editor.

Valve says the editor will allow users to create both single and co-op stages, and will be “easy to use,” which suggests an interface much simpler than what is usually used to build levels for games.

Players will also apparently be able to “view, play and vote on them [levels] with a simple click.”

Huh, I wonder if it would be a good idea if they would allow you to choose between different eras of Aperture Science as level templates.

Portal 2 meets Littlebigplanet? Yes please.

You do know Little big planet is far from being the first or only game to ever had an editor right? :P
