The Star Wars Outlaws team has devised a solution to that ‘yellow paint’ debate.
Many video game developers have introduced yellow paint into their games, as a way of signposting players where to go next. Not sure where to climb? Look for the yellow scuffs on the cliff side. If it’s a building, maybe look out for a yellow drainpipe or window ledge. Resident Evil even features yellow locks for players to pick.
Needless to say, yellow paint – or indeed any brightly coloured marker – is a pretty common occurrence across the video game landscape. It is a useful accessibility tool for many players. And, this same paint-based path finder also features in Star Wars Outlaws. That is, unless you don’t want it to.
