Not to be confused with Albion Online, Albion is an RPG that was released somewhat late into DOS's lifespan.
Producer Mode#
Go to the options screen from the main menu and type in schnosm. The screen will flash white briefly. Now, when going into the game, the mode can be toggled on/off at any point during the game by pressing Alt and F12. Note that this does not work in DOSBox by default unless the Speedlock event is remapped (Ctrl + F1).
Toggling it on will enable the following:
- A disgruntled photograph of Albion's producer, Thomas Hertzler, will appear on the bottom right corner at all times.
- See an entire map of the level, complete with all the characters and enemies in that level.
- All spells will be available, with their max powers and only costing 1 SP.
- The "user" cursor can get anything.
- The player can walk through any walls.
- Enemies can't attack the player. The player can also end a battle and still gain XP as if they won it.
