I don't mind yellow paint as much as it is a sign of the broader issue of big games trying to be idiot-proof. If a game has yellow paint I expect it to be as easy as it can be outside of giving me literal god mode.

I'd like to make a game where it's your job to use yellow paint to show the hero where to go. You'd have to predict how the level would crumble during the chase sequence. If you did everything correctly you'd get a AAA rating.
Your overall goal is to suck the player's intelligence up or so.
so a game where you become The Stanley Parable Adventure Line(tm)
yes
Very fitting ending for this discussion too, as I think its message was something like “our destination is wherever we end up” (with Stanley and the narrator making up their own story, with no regards to what the game™ had planned for them).
It was also called the confusion ending :)
quote
“Wouldn't wherever we end up be our destination, even if there's no story there? Or, put in another way, is a story with no destination still a story? Simply by the act of moving forward, are we implying a story such that a destination is inevitably conjured into being via the very manifestation of life itself—”“So we know that each door has to lead somewhere, which means that somewhere at the place where we're trying to go, there must be a reverse door that leads here! And that in turn means that our destination corresponds with the counter-inverted reverse door's origin. So, starting from the right, let us ask – will taking the right door lead us to where we're going? And since the answer is clearly yes, that means the door on the right must be the correct one. Another victory for logic. Onwards, Stanley! To destiny!”
I love these quotes.
That game came to mind first when I saw the comic
lol. Love it. You get to make the Hard Mode level into Easy Mode for the user. That would be a fun game.
You should play Doorkickers.
That genre is very popular already m8.
Seems like you need to play more strategy games.
