Hi Y’all, today I will show you how to debug game dev tycoon with the webkit inspector we all know and love.
Game Dev Tycoon is build on node-webkit, which allows you to use remote debugging.
This makes development a lot easier and more fun, especially if you’re used to working with the webkit inspector.
With Steam
- Right click the game, and click ‘Properties’
- Set launch options…
- Enter ‘–remote-debugging-port=9888’ (you can change this port if you like)
- Start the game
- Navigate to http://localhost:9888/
- Click ‘Game Dev Tycoon’
- Have fun!
With standalone
I’m not even sure if this exists, so please correct me if it doesn’t.
- Browse to the EXE
- Hold your right mouse button while dragging the executable, release it, select ‘Create shortcut here’.
- Add ‘–remote-debugging-port=9888’ (you can change this port if you like) to the shortcut target
- Start the game
- Navigate to http://localhost:9888/
- Click ‘Game Dev Tycoon’
- Have fun!
