Very old. It's very, very old. There must be wooden doors somewhere.

I'm pretty sure they have upgraded every single item in the foundation. It would be very unsafe to leave a wooden door that can be destroyed easily.

Maybe some offices?
I dunno there should be normal doors somewhere <_<
In some low level offices.

But i mean somewhere on the way to the Gate A entrance. Right now it's too easy to find and get the ending that is supposed to be hard to get.

A concern I have is with the size of the room. In order to place it normally in the game, the map generator would have to create a significant amount of space for it.
So I was thinking that it would be a better idea to place it on a lower level than the maintenance tunnel, to give free reign to the size of the forest. You would access the test center via an elevator with a level 1 restriction.
The other option would be to have the player teleport and experience a blur effect the instant you enter the forest.

Office doors maybe?

Yes, what the fuck. They should have ponies.

Well my idea would be a sort of 'visual portal' in the doorframe from the testing room to the forest, when you go through the portal the player is teleported to that room down there and can even look back through the doorframes Portal to see the testing room, once they take enough steps in that they can't immediately sprint back fast enough to get inside the testing room again, a trigger activates slamming the door shut very fast.

A great example is this video of it being in BLITZ3D:

But it seems a bit complex right now and Regalis is probably better suited to doing it, I think for a placeholder we keep the same above idea, but instead use a sort of 'Blue Mist Wall' at the doorframe instead of a visual portal, once the player enters it will blind them momentarily and they will be teleported to the forest room area (way below the map) and the door will promptly slam shut behind them, just like in Dark Souls when your about to fight a boss here (at 0:07) :

Except the fog will be a blue hue and all that. Seems feasible?

Edit:
And on the topic of they're being wooden doors in the facility -- I don't think the foundation would keep such outdated things around. The metal sliding doors are indeed much more safe and feasible for such a facility. There is ONE wooden door with a key lock that causes the key to attune to it's coordinates only; for safety reasons. It's just a possible shortcut through the facility and to some documents/items possibly. I'd like more idea's though..

It's a great idea. Not much else to say really.

Sounds awesome! If it is a way to go through to Gate A though, wouldn't come in handy if there was some sort of indication that there was something as of the sort through the short cut? Also an idea could be that at random times the shortcut could lead to just Gate A, but at other times it could unlock the way to all the gates, and other times it could lead to different gates and so on... So that way the player never knows what ending they could possibly find when they go through this shortcut. What do you think?
