Studying Game Development at University.Teacher told me that my Doors don't tell me diegetically what state they are in open or closed.Told me to study doors..Let's talk doors /v/ I know Doom 3 has very good door design as does the original Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 and ODST.What else?

>>744635925The best door in a video game is the one I don't fucking notice.If I have to press a button to open your door, that's a bad door. Just have the door open automatically when I walk into it or bump into it.Unless the door is locked for some reason. In that case, fuck you, every door should be open. I want to unga-bunga my way through everything.
>>744635925Your doors don't tell you if they're open or closed...? Do you mean locked/unlocked or what? What the fuck do you mean "I can't tell if this door is open or closed"
>>744635925>Studying Game Development at University.so when is your transition?
>>744635925Alien isolation is another game with good door design as it tells you if its locked at a glance.>>744636116When I study back in 2019 majority of the class did only a few normal people left who got jobs others will message you to ask for help getting jobs and are totally unstable
Alien isolation has good doors.
>>744635925Metroid
>>744635925The lab area of RE Requiem had shit doors. There I said it. Like why are there 100 tubes in the center?
Quake 4 follows a similar idea and I think prey 2006. Haven't played prey side make
>>744636592You mean this?>>744636443Picture?
If you ask me that's what half life 1 and half life 2 and half life alyx all fail at doors.Can't tell if prop or functional door
>>744635925using them to hide loading zones. Study Metroid Prime 1 (good usage, you can't tell unless if you are actually told this) vs Metroid Prime 3 (bad usage, extremely obvious)
>>744635925>>744636372>>744636618In terms of sci-fi doors like these, it needs great sound design and a nice weighty or sleek visual animation. Sliding open and closed smoothly with a good swoosh-thunk. Always satisfying.
>>744635925Green light or red light. Not much to it.
trick or treat system>light over a door means it'll open>no light means it wont
>>744635925You just need lights, color coding, or different door models/textures to indicate the lock status and whether or not the door is interactable.If the door is unlocked remotely, it should be visible to the player at the moment it unlocks, one way or another. Something like a spinning or flashing light above the door when it unlocks can also help players know which door they just unlocked.
>>744635925Halo sucks now.
>>744635925>What else?Vault doors in Fallout
>>744636691Half-Life 1 is kinda bad about that, but Half-Life 2 indicates most of the non-interactable doors by not giving them a 3D model for the handle, or by having the combine locks on them.Alyx was kind of the same if memory serves. If the door had a handle it was usually openable, and non-standard doors, like overhead doors, had red handles where you could interact with them.
>>744637251>now
>>744635925if they look like pussy
Dead Space and Mass Effect had the best doors.
>>744638336I don't remember me door's
>>744638336I don't know why the normandy's doors need such a complicated mechanism that have a greater chance to fail if that part of the ship gets shot. Even stuff like car windows that have 1 motor and 1 sliding part eventually breaks, why make it so complicated
>>744638248am I the weird one for never thinking about human body parts when I see biomechanical alien structures
>>744641764Weirder those lips are used as a mouth but what did they come off? Do we see a comically large ring still attached to one.
>>744638248>pussy>image of flesh wound or a ruined anus at bestboy, have you ever seen a pussy? no guys anus, ruined at that, but a VAGINA from a female human (women) ?
>>744636095This. Surely a door is visibly closed or open
>>744638248Prey has everything
>>744638248Is this door open or closeddiegetically
>>744642823Closed the lips are shut if it was wide open then it would be open
>>744635959Is this what they call "reddit spacing?"
