Description

Pull up a chair and get a drink. I got a story:

When we started to work on Blue Portals more deeply, we wanted to have things like autoportal frames, switches, and buttons lights to light up orange. We applied that to the autoportal frame first as its a prop that you will see a lot, more then the button or switches.

In some of the screens and videos back, you'll notice that its red when the Orange Portal is activated. This was because Colossal's textured skills were not all that great at the time so I had to do it cheaply.

But now, Colossal has improved a lot since February, but Valve beat us to the idea in Portal 2. And we are afraid that if we apply our original plan, people will start linking Blue Portals with Portal 2. And we really, really, don't want that to happen. After he fixed the hellish red to be the planned orange we started to wonder if we should make the buttons and switches to do the same. Again, we really don't want people e-mailing us (Mostly Colossal) that we are "stealing" Portal 2 features.

Just letting you know what we were thinking back in February.
