Debug mode/Cheats?

[MDK]

I want to take a few reproducibility screenshots on issues I'm having, but something like Godmode would be nice to have during this.

Alternatively, I suppose Cheat Engine would provide an answer as well, but the easiest would be a built in debug toggle of some kind.

I don't think that we'll make debug mode available for everyone, at least for now.

Then I'll see if I can get some visuals without it, first.

I mean, why not? If we break our games using Debug mode that's our fault. In the meantime, people can now really mess with the game to find where it breaks. There are people out there who would intentionally try to break the game and then try to fix it, and bring both the problem and solution to y'alls attention, just because they love the game and want to help. There's already people doing 1 side of this equation. If Bethesda taught us anything, it's that fans of a game will try to help fix it, because they want to see it work and blossom into something beautiful.

I personally would second the availability of a debug mode. While I fully respect your image on what the game is and how it is supposed to be played, I can see how it might be useful in several cases to have it on standby for instances where a bug prevents progress or you need to screenshot an issue.

This is how I've been playing videogames for the past 25 years.

I suggest to only release this with the intention of helping modder's and debuggers being a statement. How someone enjoys your content is not always best for the developer to decide, they should just provide the experience.
Your job ends when you get a sale of a product that someone doesn't come back to complain about no?

Enjoy your work, and others will follow suite.
