I can't tell you how many hours I've saved by making custom debug tools for my games, but I know it's a lot of time. In this video I share my philosophy for my debug tools, the benefits, and how I added one to my games. Now I use the Godot game engine to make my games, but I think the high level approach I outline can be easily applied to any engine. Good luck out there!
