Short and to the point, it's a good doc but not very interesting. Just glad they didn't pad it with tons of code (last I remember Digipen TDD's are required as part of the curriculum and students are known for doing this).
Haven't thought about this game in years, though. What a nice throwback. I thought Portal was great, very polished with great sense of humor but ND was in my opinion a much more fun and interesting game experience (the puzzles really gave you that fantastic "aha!" moment).
I imagine it could be a pretty interesting exercise to read over a handful of these from different teams.
