They both involve diverse environments, logical labyrinths, and more tame platforming than the original game.

So, having played both Blue Shift & BMS, you see the influence?

Yep. I’ve been thinking of slightly expanding the first map of BMS Interloper, by adding the Manta Platforming Island sequence between the opening level transition & the cave that the level transition leads to.

My main issue is my limited skill in hammer. I can place entities, but adding level geometry is something I have trouble with. Here’s a list of deviations to make it work in BMS:
*You still enter the same (just walking out of the cave), but now it transitions into a decrepit metal platform instead of the island that crumbles inexplicably under your feet if you stay on it for too long. *Everything is still there (the spire that goes up & down, the caves, the Controllers, the bouncy blisters), but the rotating platforms are more detailed. Those & the main landmass draw from BMS Improved Xen, but recolored to fit with its vanilla Xen.
*The HEV Scientist corpse is now replaced with a dormant HEV zombie
*The end replaces the teleporter with a platform that leads into the next cave, with a white light fixture like when you enter the Alien Grunt Factory representing the teleporter in spirit.

I also forgot to mention adding an HEV zombie upon entering the tentacle area, & a healing pool island.

Have you any experience with Hammer mapping? I need someone to help with the level geometry.

Bugger. I also did a prototype of bringing back the Tentacles right after the Gargantua Chase.

I still gotta work out sound replacements. To give you an idea of what I’m going for with the redone beginning: remember the broken catwalk platforming in Surface Tension right after the Helicopter fight, & if you stayed on 1 of the pieces for too long, it broke from it's condition & sent you plummeting?

I was thinking of something similar.

You see somebody made an addon that brings back the cut parts of the Materials Transit system?
