Space Oddity?
For Geeks and Trekkies only:
In Border Village, the continuity of space is a little messed up.
Keen goes into the door of the first stone hut. Inside it, the door is behind him, so this means that the perspective has been reversed from what it was outside.
So when Keen goes underground and runs to the left, this would be equivalent to running to the RIGHT, relative to the initial perspective (=when Keen was outside the hut). So when he climbs up the pole and exits from the second hut, he should be somewhere to the right of where he entered the first hut... If space in this level was logical, that is!

Re: Space Oddity?
Never took the time to look at it TMST, but I've always had the vague feeling something wasn't right.

Re: Space Oddity?
Maybe the whole back part of the houses are mirrors. That'd explain it.

Well if you all wanna take is so seriously... :-) They probably did it because if they made it go the other way the path would stick off the beginning of the level... Dunno,

Re: Space Oddity?
Naw, KeenCommander, because if you look at the TED5 editor, you can make a door link to any area on the map. I'm guessing that it probably wouldn've confused their target audience.

Re: Space Oddity?
Hmm... Maybe they were thinking of a cut-away type of thing when they made it? Although that still doesn't explain why the windows don't match up to the front. *Wanders off to puzzle over it*

Cybernetic Dream is right, if you think of it in terms of what those doorways are actually programmed to do.

Another possibility
Here's a possibility... what if the doorway that you see while you're inside the huts is actually a BACK door to each of those huts, and the huts are in cutaway view mode?

Re: Another possibility
Why would Keen then walk out of it?
