Hello! While I am not a 60 Seconds Re-atomized speed runner, I watch quite a few streamers that run this game, and have always hated the forced wait at the beginning of 'No Item Runs'. I quickly threw together a C++ program to modify the timer at the beginning of the run to allow for the removal of the majority of the 60 second wait time required to pass before entering the bunker.

I thought this would be the best place to start a discussion around the use of a simple tool such as this, if it is proven to change nothing more than the timer at the beginning of the run, and nothing more.

Please see this Youtube link below for an example of the application which I am still working on to make as small and simple as possible, though will be uploading a Github repository for all to review and discuss. This application simply utilized the pointer that the game uses for the timer, to adjust the value to lower it to 6 seconds (This can be modified for any value). While the timer is not active, the application is simply sitting idle waiting for the timer once again, doing nothing to game data. The program is a simply C++ program, at just 108 lines in it's final build.

Is anybody interested in asking for this to be allowed? While the name of the game is 60 seconds, we don't need 60 seconds to enter the bunker, and it is just a wait of 1 minute per run to begin. over the course of an 8 hour speed run session, this becomes pretty unbearable.

As I am not a speed runner of this game myself, I think this would help provide runners a more fun time as well as keeping it easier and more bearable for the viewers of long speed run sessions, and possibly make it more bearable for new players to jump on board.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. 🙂

Github link to source code as well as v1.0 executable, this is fully functional. Simply download the release .exe and run before or after opening 60 Seconds Reatomized.

Note: If you're worried about running unverified code, you can check the source and even compile yourself. I have no reason for malicious intent, please review the code before running if you have concerns.

+1 on this. More streamers, runs, and overall life to the community would be great for Robot Gentleman and 60 Seconds. My stream is approximately wasting over 8 days doing (no item) runs per year. Would be a small yet huge advancement to the 60 seconds speedrunning community
