Debug Mode

The debug mode (or dev mode) is a function for the developers to assist in creating the game. With some small modifications to your copy of the game you can reactivate the debug mode and take advantage of the many special functions available there.

Enabling the Console

In your Evil Genius install folder, go to the folder DynamicResourcesConfig and open the file Default.ksb with a text editing program like Notepad.

Add the following line at the end (before the final hyphens:

ToggleDebugCommands:Ctrl+D

Add the same line to the file Current.ksb (if it exists).

Restart Evil Genius and press Ctrl+D (make sure numlock is off if it doesn’t work the first time), then press the ` key (that is the key typically just to the left of the 1 key and above the Tab key on english keyboards).
