10 Years ago today, I uploaded my first video to YouTube! To celebrate, I decided to take a small break from Dark Cloud and make a video on two topics I haven't really talked about since that year, Debug Glitches and Lego Island.

This debug mode glitch is just like the runaway vehicle glitch, but you're running around instead. The path that's taken depends on the character you're playing as. I'm not the first to show this off, but I couldn't find any steps on how to trigger it, so I decided to try to reproduce it and show off an extended version of NPC mode exploring the island as Pepper.

To do this, enable debug mode by typing "OGEL", then press / on the numpad to become the Brickster, then click on the gas or police station while running at the same time, then leave the building to enter what I call "NPC Mode".

These are the paths and amount of time each character takes before looping back:

Gas station:
Mama - Gas Station, Race Track, and the Bank, 2 minutes 7 seconds
Papa - Does laps around the gas station, 3 seconds
Pepper - Explores almost every path, 11 minutes
Nick - Random
Laura - Also laps around the gas station

Police Station:
Mama - Laps around the police station, 7 seconds
Papa - Same as Mama
Pepper - Same path as the Gas Station
Nick - Random
Laura - Explores almost every path, 11 minutes
