Why game developers can’t get a handle on doors

• mikewhy 6y ago
  Kerry Davis from Valve gave a talk on doors a couple of years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWjxGL8PDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OWjxGL8PDM

    Unfortunately, whomever edited the video only shows the speaker and not the content of the slides, which makes it pretty hard to follow the speaker's points. For example, the speaker will mention examples of doors, but no doors are shown, only the speaker looking to the side (eg. seek to 34 minutes in the video). There's also no link to the slides or accompanying materials that would help understand the material that I can see. Unfortunate, since it looked pretty interesting.

      There is another recording that seems to have the slides: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9kzu2Y33yKM https://youtube.com/watch?v=9kzu2Y33yKM

  If I was a game developer, doors would be binary objects. Sort of pocket doors (or even pocket universe doors)

  Doors are tricky to design in real life equally. Lookup Norman Doors.
