Is my game allowed on Roblox?

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to find out if my sci-fi horror game will be accepted under the Roblox TOS

  2. What is the issue? I am not sure if it is too disturbing/gory to be allowed on Roblox

  3. What solutions have you thought of so far? I have considered changing some textures / colours so they don’t represent blood and gore

I will attach below a video to show the parts I am worried Roblox will think is too gory

Looks great! If someone takes that and send it to investors and parents you’ll be dead. So you’ll have to ban all 13- users.

Thanks, Is there anything I can change up in the game that would not require me to make the game 13+? I am trying to make the game as less likely to get banned as possible!

I heard something about age ratings coming to Roblox that will make this doable. Don’t know if age ratings will be coming but I guess we will see.

If player account age < 13
then
Kick.player
Message: Sorry you’re not yet suitable for this game! Come back when you’re 13+ and we’ll give you a special gift!

You should give those who can’t play yet a gift that they can use once they turn 13, otherwise they will feel upset and dislike game.

Thanks for the suggestion! I am considering making the game only 13+ but, would making a warning such as: “This game has horror elements and may be disturbing for some users. (Includes vomiting, disease etc.) Please exit the game if you are sensitive to those elements.” Make any difference?

Thanks for letting me know, I am looking for anything I can change or do to the game which will reduce the chances of Roblox banning the game!

Just be careful of people recording and exposing things in your game without mentioning your precaution mesures on the internet, might create misunderstandings against you

Thanks for letting me know, That is why I am asking if theres anything i can physically change such as the vomit colour to not be blood etc. so I don’t have to worry about anyone being too disturbed by the game!

For example if I change the vomit colour to this:

will it be more acceptable for Roblox? Or should I change anything else

I saw this on TikTok. I’m sorry to hear that someone is impersonating Mr.Banksy. I don’t think this would be against TOS.

There is a certain format for scripting, that was not scripting at all. It was an idea to help me out which is the point of this platform!

Yeah the internet is has many insecure little kids who spend their time trying to argue, not a surprise. But what do you think about the vomit screenshot I sent? Let me know if you think that’s more accepted by Roblox

As long as no loud or disgusting audios, it should be fine.

Probably Not.

Been on Roblox since 2017, and never seen a gory game as this one (Not Including those condo/illegal games.) I’m prolifically sure Roblox won’t accept this. As, most films that incorporate vomit psychics are usually marked as 14+/18+ by film directors and audiences. To add to this, vomiting also marks the line between actual gore and cartoon violence. (Roblox doesn’t allow anything above cartoon violence.) Anyways, I assume the most goriest subject, you can do on Roblox is detachment of limbs, if it isn’t too bloody of course.

But if you produce your product, I deeply recommend a setting to turn off excessive gore and gore altogether. You might experience a low player reach, if you limit a certain age rating from playing your product.

Anyways, cool subject/game idea.

Thanks for letting me know! Can you be more specific of what exactly makes it look so gory? Is it the blood t shirt, alien growths, animation or only the blood vomitting? This way I can know exactly what the issue is and can change it up or remove it

Just a quick notice that I’m pretty sure your game is allowed.
The Mimic is a prime example of a horror game that’s straight-up jump scaring people haha (and they do it really well :scream: )

If you’re still unsure, you can do one of the following things to find out if your game is allowed:

  1. Email or message Roblox DevRel asking the question.
  2. Check the ToS yourself; it’s publicly available here.
    Or both :smiley:

Good luck!
