The vertical bar on doors is a classic. Cheers for the explanations.

Heard a bit of Don Normal "The Design of Everyday Things," in this. Nice job as usual. I like your videos.

Thanks! And for sure! Norman really helped bring behavioural psychology and design practices into the video game design field 🙂
