Gamasutra - Inside Portal

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.

However Gamasutra have a couple of extracts from the article focusing on the creation of GLaDOS and overcoming technical issues. Very interesting and well worth a read. Get these extracts here.

Practically speaking, we didn't have sufficient time or staffing to add any human characters
I found that a bit surprising - GLaDOS was born out of resource shortages.
