Hey, I tried asking the support about it but I haven’t received any substantial information.
Would adding an item such as an adrenaline shot (in a syringe) get my game taken down or would it affect the age rating? Or does it depend on the use animation?
Thanks
age rating is possible idk about it getting taken down
Unless it’s abused by a character as a quick form of dopamine, and it’s just a power-up, it’s probably fine. If you’re trying to be careful about the age rating, you can try alternatives, like a cup of coffee (?).
Parkour has that and It was not taken down.
Why not change it into an adrenaline puffer? Like for asthma (see Cyberpunk 2077 for an example). Or a salve? You could also just call them cartridges.
Syringes have made games content deleted in the past, make it a energetic drink or something else
Oh boy I love steroids! Too bad Roblox moderation doesn’t… Just make it a food or drink or something
Something like the TZP inhalant from Lethal Company? Isn’t it drug-related which makes it even more risky than an adrenaline shot?
i mean we have decaying winter stims (i love decaying winter // Arbiter Main)
they are fine for now… original game did get taken down for unknown reasons.
I wouldn’t mention decaying winter because it violates many other rules, such as alcohol/intoxication and self-harm. It isn’t touched by roblox moderation for some reason.
ignoring the uhm… allat. But still. Point stands.
Well, the TOS says (removed irrelevant elements):
We do not allow users to discuss or engage in illegal activities or encourage others to do so on Roblox. We also prohibit the discussion, depiction, or promotion of some illegal and regulated goods or activities. This includes:
- Controlled substances such pharmaceutical and recreational drugs, as well as as alcohol, tobacco, vaping, and their associated paraphernalia
- Depictions of intoxicated behavior associated with consuming alcohol or drugs
- Purveyors of illegal and regulated substances
Adrenaline (Epinephrin) isn’t a controlled substance in Roblox’ jurisdiction (USA). Source: https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/schedules/orangebook/c_cs_alpha.pdf
It’s the main ingredient in an epipen, which (afaik) are sold over the counter. That means it isn’t a controlled/regulated substance. If it isn’t a controlled substance, the first member doesn’t apply and thus ‘associated paraphernalia’ doesn’t either.
The question for you, is: will Roblox see it that way too? And if not, are you prepared to risk being moderated? It may be easier to just implement an alternative.
Then the matter of administration; it’d probably be a lot riskier to have a needle, than having some other form of administration. Instead of calling it an injector, try ‘enhancer’, ‘’
I don’t know if an adrenaline shot would be allowed, but I do know that caffeine causes the body to release adrenaline, so you could replace the adrenaline with caffeine. The only issue I see is with the needle injection. I’d just make it an energy drink, or water flavor enhancer if I were you.
