You can pick out assets beforehand if you want to cheat but just a little bit
Example video
I made a crappy chapter in 14 mins with FE Builder. Therefore you can make something similarly dreadful in an hour.

Fastest any% (and probably crappiest hack)
The real reward was the friends chapter you made along the way. You could touch it up and re-use it as a chapter in your own hack, for example. Quick drafts are rough, but makes for a great starting place.
Deadline
ONE HOUR FROM READING THIS
Sorry, not really.

It’s 1 hour of your time, so don’t procrastinate plz.
i am now convinced that febuildergba is a torture device designed to make hacking as slow as humanly possible
is this hack playable? yes. is this hack beatable? idk i ran out of time before i could playtest it
CREDITS:
alusq for battle theme
sme for map theme
der, zoraminefae, and pik for lord anim
aurawolf for map
anyone who watched me scream about how much i hate febuilder while working on this
So I had an idea bounce around in my head. It went poorly.
First I spent about twenty minutes stuck on websites downloading 3H portraits.
Then I tried to requantise them but after spending ten minutes on Annette I decided that requantisation was a waste of time. Half an hour wasted. Then I got stuck in a maze of tables or something and before I knew it my hour was up. No chapter was even started.
In true cheater’s fashion, I went into overtime. I had to make a pointless duplicate of a map, forgot to include the event file, involved flailing around aimlessly squishing errors before it finally built an hour later. Built while not being vanilla, anyway. This is the product of suffering. Presenting…
Well, it turns out I’ve never actually made a hack before outside of adjusting some numbers, so I took this as an opportunity to try my hand at it. General progress went as follows:
Started by generating the map, then slapping characters onto it. Took me a few tries to make sure the intro events wouldn’t randomly start. Changed characters’ portraits, then names and descriptions. Started with just five playable characters, before adding two others later. Added a reinforcement near the end, couldn’t quite figure out how to make him say his battle quote in time (he takes Valter’s slot). Tried changing it to Rout All, realized that made the map boring, then switched back to Defeat Boss at the last minute. Didn’t have time to pick out F2U music so just switched to different tracks. Spent the last minute fixing the AI so they didn’t all just stand there.
And thus, I present… Peggy.
With that out of the way, here’s the patch. Have about as much fun as you would expect from a guy who’s never made a chapter before trying to make one in an hour.
Map made using FE Map Creator.
Portraits by Alusq, AmBrosiac, BBHood217, capibarainspace, flasuban, LaurentLacroix, and MiguelRojo.
EDIT: Whoops, the link was messed up. My bad, this should work better.
I made a thing! I feel like it’s good, but I’m not sure.
I present to you…
Evil Fog Wizard!
An evil wizard has kidnapped your mom and summoned reverse thracia fog: you can only see units near you, but you can only see tiles far away from you. Fight his minions and rescue your mind-controlled mom!
Featuring:
1-2 range short bows, because Pandan must suffer as I suffered.
playable gargoyle playable gargoyle (who isn’t actually playable, the talk to recruit him crashes the game)
Started with a stripped down buildfile that was prepared before, containing a number of things that are probably irrelevant but time is fake and rules are made up
Patch:
This repository also contains the final state of the buildfile; free to peruse, and everything within is free to use.
Uses mugs by Pretsel, MeatOfJustice, beccarte, and Sphealnuke from mugging blitzes 9 and 10
Everything has to be free to use to be made before and used within so the music that’s used that I made and haven’t previously released as free to use I have made such within this github repo, thus adhering to the rules (:
Presenting: Fire Emblem Endless Dream! Made and playtested in 59 minutes and like 37 seconds.
Experience mediocre maps like no other!
Enjoy undeveloped and unrelatable characters!
Fight the evil empire!
Get blindsided by Nomura-tier plot twists!
Build an army! Trust no one! not even yourself! Fire emblem: Endless Dream.
Dev process
Think of a plot twist as convoluted as possible.
Open that Speedy Comet theme from Mario Galaxy.
Start timer and open FEBuilder
Install intro skip patches!
Write the intro, make a crappy beta of the map, make the end event, put stats and short descriptions into main party and boss and throw vigarde into game. Done.
Holy sh*t I still have 40 minutes left!?
Playtest, polish map, throw more enemies, fix portraits, polish intro.
Ze end.
I find it very concerning that it has less bugs than CoBK .-.
stick to what you’re familiar with friends. febuilder isn’t faster if you haven’t used it in two years
(also that hammer time guy was supposed to take super long to talk but you had instant text on )
Actually eventing, mapping and doing the bulk of the text took me just under an hour.
Prettying it up, debugging and ‘balancing’ took uhh… longer than I should’ve spent on it.
Credits:
WAve for Ehran’s portrait, Melia for Fae’s portrait and NickT for the others.
Known Issues (that I’m too lazy to fix):
The lines of the Christmas Cavs are mixed up in their talk convo.
Chase uses Neimi’s portrait in his talk convo.
Bows are effective against Sword users for some reason.
