The concept of the game looks super interesting, I’ll def play when yall release ^3^

The puking looks a bit much though, I do like it too. Maybe roblox would let it pass since it’s nothing bloody.

Thankss!!! :smile: Do you think anything other than the puking should be changed? I did see that coughing up blood is not allowed on Roblox so I changed the colour. Thank you for your feedback too!!

My take on this;

  1. (as the wonderful @Megalodox_Official has already stated) Restrictions keeping <13 users out.
  2. An option to disable blood/gore/possibly disturbing sounds.
  3. Some description/in-game warning concerning disturbing material, people regardless of their account age may be disturbed and report the game for giving them no warnings.

This is way better than banning 13- users, also his method does not work because that’s not how account age works.

There’s no way to check if a user if <13 efficiently, why does everyone keep bringing this up? (Yes the chat filter ‘sorta’ works, but it’ll break if Roblox makes chat filter changes)

Of course people lie about their real age, it’s Roblox; the only thing that can be done is checking for the player’s account age. It’s all that we have without asking for pictures.
It’s a kid’s own fault if they’re disturbed by what they see having taken restrictions off themselves with falsely aged accounts. Still would keep out a percentage of people who have yet to celebrate no safechat.

Not Player.AccountAge

I think what we’re looking for is this, Developer Hub’s class of Player, boolean for <13. I’m not sure if it’s deprecated, but it doesn’t seem so. Not a programmer. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You know that Player.AccountAge returns the players account age in days. So you’ll be banning people who joined 12 or less days ago and not underage users.

wouldn’t this part of PolicyService work somewhat efficiently for determining whether a player is 13 or not?

I’ve never used it personally, but it seems like it would work pretty well.

By using this service you’re also banning all players from a whole bunch of different countries, largest being China.

Roblox in China doesn’t exist anymore, and you’d have to first submit an application for your game to be checked by Roblox moderators if it’s suitable for China(were it still up). still seems like a good solution imo. any country that bans discord or youtube probably doesn’t have roblox in the first place

  1. That’s against the Roblox rules.

  2. I don’t think that’s even possible.

I don’t think you’re allowed to age lock the game like this, I believe it falls under discrimination.

Plus, moderation won’t give them a free pass because of an age lock system.

Sepcifically, I think it would be the alien growths, and blood vomiting. The alien growths kinda look disturbing/disgusting if you are squeamish to blood or any over the top weirdness. To compare, it’s kinda like puberty in a way, some people think it’s weird, some just accept it as normal.

As i said before, I don’t usually think vomiting blood is allowed on Roblox. Maybe, vomiting your stomach fluids is okay. But vomiting blood is considered gore by Roblox.

RoBio, got banned by excessive amount of gore/skin deformities and overall weird idea of the game. RoBio kinda reminds me what I saw in your little video, this is why I stated it.

Anyways, I’ve seen a game called “Survival Of The Fittest” use a vomiting mechanic, but it only used stomach fluids instead of blood material.

Also, is your alien game like Among Us?

Thank you for the useful feedback! I saw that RoBio got banned not for the gore but for the human experimentation in the game which counts as human torture and exploitation.

We changed the vomitting to stomach fluids, but the weird deformities in our game from the disease plays a big part of the game so if we make the texture less fleshy would you think that would be accepted?

And no, our alien game isn’t really inspired by among us, more inspired by games like half-life and dead space

Thanks! If I added an option to remove the gore, what specifically do you think I should change/remove?

#54

So that game doesnt violate the roblox tos, so it will def be allowed.

@MGemmy this is untrue, so you dont have to worry about “kicking users under the age of 13” as 90% of the player base is most likely to be under 13

imo, if you want to try and be completely safe, dont include blood in the vomit

on the side, you will prob need to add options to disable blood effects

This is not true. At least warn the 13-, because it’s just morally wrong to show 4 years olds dreading bloody hazmat figures.
Last suggestion is great.

chill out bro it was an over estimate on purpose that way the creators knows not to go too far with blood effects. (obviously i wasnt serious when i said 90%)

its also the 4 year old fault for turning the blood options on, and playing a horror game + the odds of a 4 year old playing a sci-fi horror and almost none due to sci-fi being advanced and horror just being horror
