So after seeing the wr I of course wanted to play this game. So I'm horrible so I just want to start off by doing ILs. My question is for the ILs can I use the Debug Mode. Also if allowed is there a way to get debug without using a modified settings file from everest?

debug mode is allowed to be used as long as you do not use any debug mode features during your run. essentailly, you can have the debug mode on, but you cant actually use the commands or teleport to screens during your run.

to turn on debug mode in the normal, non-everest client, navigate to where you installed celeste, and enter the folder titled "Saves," in this folder, you should find "settings.celeste" Open this file with the text editor of your choice (ex: notepad). Near the bottom of the file, you should see <LaunchInDebugMode>false</LaunchInDebugMode>. Simply change that false to a "true" and the game will launch in debug mode.

good luck with your ILs!
