The combination of these factors made it a great choice for a failsafe solution in cases where MS Paint can't be loaded. is free to use, and more importantly, free to distribute, can run without having to install it first and can open an image via command line parameters. So I decided to include a portable version of with Outcore's installation. I eventually realized that I could include another image editing software with Outcore, and use that instead. I considered creating a fake substitute for Paint, but that would be waaaaaaaay too much work for such a rare edge case. Since this solution was not feasible, I had to go back to the drawing board. Also, what if the player doesn't even have any image editing software to begin with? Not only that, but I would also need to contact all the volunteer translators to translate the new lines. I could make Lumi ask the player to use another image editing software, but then there would be no way for the game to react to the player opening that program. The fact it can't be used sometimes made it quite difficult to solve. The reason I made a game revolve around using Paint was that I thought every Windows PC would have it. This causes Outcore to soft lock, preventing any further progress. Sometimes it also fails because some of you deranged lunatics decided to uninstall Paint from your copy of Windows. Unfortunately, sometimes that's not possible due to the game not having permission to access Paint. The "let me try something" bug Very early in the game, the player is tasked with drawing a key to open a safe by using MS Paint.
