Since everyone got mad about yellow paint again this year, here are 5 alternatives I propose to help players find their way around in 2026

The gaming community is currently debating the use of yellow paint as a navigational aid in video games, with titles like Stellar Blade, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, and Star Wars Outlaws contributing to the discussion. Critics argue it reflects lazy game design, while industry voices like Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledge its necessity. The lead designer of The Witcher 4 suggests that the issue lies in the contextual application of such indicators. An alternative navigation concept inspired by Ghost of Tsushima proposes using weather elements, like rain or thunder, to guide players. This method is seen as more subtle but may not suit all players. Mafia: The Old Country introduced physical road signs along routes, improving navigation without frequent minimap checks, though implementation can be challenging in diverse environments. Another idea involves making navigational hints optional and turning them into puzzles with an NPC called The Riddlemaster, which could enhance engagement but requires significant resources. Lastly, a more extraordinary navigational aid could involve a dramatic visual intervention, like a giant hand directing players, which would be memorable but costly and potentially controversial.

FF7 Rebirth director knows a whole heap of people hate yellow paint on ledges, but reckons ‘there is definitely a need for that kind of thing’

The yellow paint in video game design is a topic of debate among developers and players, with some criticizing its presence while others recognize its utility in guiding players through levels. Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, acknowledged the necessity of guidance in games despite differing opinions. Historical examples include Assassin's Creed Shadows, which initially omitted yellow markers but found players struggled without them, and Star Wars Outlaws, which introduced an Explorer Mode to toggle indicators. The design lead for The Witcher 4 noted that the challenge lies in balancing guidance with player exploration. Hamaguchi emphasized the importance of finding the right implementation for such design elements.
