Never played, just tell me outright...

Creep is a terrain "cancer" emitted from one of the races structures (Of which all are sort of growths).
Its been called creep due to its nature of creeping along the surface of the terrain ingame.

Gameplay wise its a way of spreading your base and units faster, zerg units move faster and heal on it and other races cant build on it. It takes on rather purple/brown/grey hues.

You must construct additional pylons

So now there's a floor fungus that can potentially heal combine that may/most likey not appear in this mod and harm chell, is apparently airborne and can go through portals?

Doubtful, its most likely a particle effect and someone made a Starcraft ref...
Dont make me explain the last one either.

Fearlezz, I am very interested in seeing the NPC ally go through portals, will you be doing that often in Episode 2?

Also, will the optimization issues from Episode 1 be resolved?

[Fearlezz]

I cant say.

[Groxkiller585]

Well I hope you optimized it a bit better, lag was your biggest enemy in EP1. The puzzles would have been less stressful if it didn't lag as much. Keep in mind that Source is well known for it's stress levels on old computers, if you want your mod to be played even more optimizing is key.

I find that adding areaportals inside the portal doors does wonders for my FPS, so long as I don't overuse the doors with areaportals in them, just in key places. Hint brushes, however, have no real restraint on how many you can use, and tend to work better at an angle (I usually cut it at 45) so be sure to add a few of them.

Got some canndy

Best candy ever!

I loved Episode One, and I definitely can't wait for Episode 2. This is overall my favorite Portal mod, because it's challenging but not frustratingly difficult.

[Groxkiller585]

Please tell me you better optimized it this time, it looks way impressive but if it goes at 4 FPS it doesn't really matter.

[Jike]

Looks really awesome, can't wait for the release!
