Making a Foddian game in 30 days

This month I, for some reason, put a stop to all my income and decided to make a rage game. Why? Because, well... I don't really know, it just sounded fun.
The game is called "This is Hell," and features a little human with massive hands trying to escape the depths of the abyss. Can you reach the top and achieve divinity?

So much respect for what you were able to do in just 30 days.... next video should be about your productivity tips 😅

tbh, that would be quite nice to get some productivity tips even though there's many out there it's always nice to see other peoples ways since it could be the one that'll help.
My favorite parts in these type of games are little easter eggs and secrets like : secret rooms, secret characters, secret objects and maybe a secret radio commercial that has a 0.6% chance of playing
You could always add a rise type mode where lava rises and kills you if you don’t descend fast enough. Im not sure if it’s a viable option for a mode or not but if it’s doable in This Is Hell it might be an interesting idea.

Oooh I actually really like that, I’ll add it to my list!
The fact you made this in 30 days, wow. I enjoyed seeing the progress each day
really enjoyed watching this thing come together :D but I most definitely won't ever play it, I value my sanity too much
Congratulations!!!
1:53 made me laugh so hard i spat out my pasta
The game looks so clean and I can't wait to see it when it fully releases. great stuff :)
It has so much character, I love it.
Wow, this is just amazing. I don’t know how you can do it. The game just looks amazing and like someone spent months on it with a 10 person team looks great. Good job keep working hard.
Been watching your daily reels, really great way of showing off your game!
Awesome! Much respect for putting this together in 30 days. Good luck for the release :)
Loved watching this every day!
This is insane, I love it. It took me 30 days to make a flappy bird clone
Dude I've been following your channel for a while now and I just gotta say, you are absolutely KILLING it!! It is literally jaw-dropping that you got this done in a month. Love your work, and love your channel. Keep it up!!
I am getting this the millisecond it releases. So excited!
This looks AMAZING!!
Seems great, I'll probably give it a try! You definitely need to change the font from that bold impact font. It does not fit the game at all.

I am so glad that your game blew up on Tik Tok, KZread Shorts did not seem to like it unfortunately... Cannot wait to try the game!
Mad respect for squeezing so much content/other stuff in just 30 days, im gonna go wishlist the game now really Quick 😁
I wonder if this is the canonical hell in Clean up in goblin isle
That crying noise alone got my like & subscribe :D
I think making the font more pixel-y would fit the game more.
cdawgVA recently played this on stream and couldnt make it past the very beginning, very funny watching the rage
“Don’t think that’s fair? Welcome to hell”
That first whimper destroyed me.

How can EA trademark Dante's inferno, that's a 700 year old story.
Def going to pick this up when I get the chance so me and the boys can scream at each other
Wow, a full-fledged game in 30 days, is amazing, I think I need to work on more game jams, to reach that level, I am not there yet.
30 days for a game 💀, bro u crazy af... its actually really cool
Love it
Adverts really are the soundtrack of hell. Well done 🤣
Beautiful game
Great Work Watt. Super cool what you achieved in only 30 days!

Surely a PARODY title like "Daunting Inferno" cannot possibly be stopped by copyright law.

Copyright, maybe.. but it wouldn’t survive the trademarking process
nice vid
Level editor would be awesome. Also a stop watch if there isn't already one
You should change the thumbnail to “dedicated cry button”. I think that’s the defining feature. 😜
I think there should be a pvp mode once you make it to heaven. Goofy arm physics and steel weapons seems fun for more content post game.
Brooooo, how didnt i see this game for this whole time?
Hell yeah
I see a hollow knight mask, nat-1 dice, Nintendo switch, and sonic rings: 6:53
now try in one day :) (also the vid is lit :D)
Gonk! :D
8:10 I am not sure if I agree or not, on one side goblins are freaky lil guys so I'd love to play as one but on the other hand goblins are too perfect so it is too unrealistic to say a goblin could possibly go to hell. Maybe if you finish the game you unlock Goblin as a playable character?
i think you should make treachery look eviller because its the last circle of hell
That's a lot of work for just 30 days! I guess with multiplayer coming you'll anti-hug the players too huh?

WASD + Mouse is supported as a back up, but the buttons offer much less control than a joystick.. so not required, but recommended!

@@WattDesigns Considering the vibes of the game a hard mode where you're locked to keyboard _only_ would be fitting
is there no combination of a set price - a discount that ads to 6.66?
but Dante's Inferno is so much older than EA
Wow
Wow, you are so productive. Meanwhile I scrape away at my lowly programming "skills"... I am better at 3D modelling (both "self taught"). Well, enough whining, awesome job! Both your games look awesome.
Can you play the game without a controller? Or is it required?
30 days… how
Looks fun lol, why not add some falling meteors which knock players off? Just in case its too easy ya know

Because they published the game Dante's Inferno in 2010(pretty cool game too!) so they trademarked it because that's what companies do. I'm not sure how the legal stuff works exactly, it probably only holds up for video games since the original work is a historical piece and thus belongs to the public domain.
Try and put it on Nintendo switch
What happened to wholesome
Lol its actually $6.66 dollars
Are you sure you want to price it at 6.99? It seems a bit much for a game like this. Note: I'm in no way an authority on that matter and I have not done research on your game's genre. It's just subjective feeling. + I'm pretty sure that Chris Zukowski advised to price games rather low. (more_copies x small_price > less_copies x big_price) Just make sure that's what you want to do.
@WattDesigns

A good question - I think it's a fair price, with Getting Over It priced at 7.99, pogostuck at 6.99, and jump king at 12.99, it's on the lower end... I may bump down to 5.99 though. With it probably being on sale most of the time I'm not too worried.
