Gamasutra have exclusive access to a Portal post-mortem written by Kim Swift, Erik Wolpaw, and Jeep Barnett which is appearing in Game Developer Magazine and can be accessed here if you are willing to pay some money.[br]However Gamasutra have a couple of extracts from the article focusing on the creation of GLaDOS and overcoming technical issues.
