Recently, I became a developer for a melee fighting game called “DISHONORED.” It was a new project, reaching around 80 concurrent players at its peak. I think most of that popularity came from how it was promoted on social media, especially because of the gore features showcased in the gameplay videos, including weapon finishers (glory kills) and reset animations.
Though, Not long after release, the game was taken down for having extreme violence and gore. We were told to re-upload the game without it. Since it had to be reuploaded as a new experience, we lost most of our player base, as players didn’t have it favorited or in their continue playing anymore.
We wanna bring gore back, but don’t want the game being taken down, so I’m wondering:
What are the actual limits for gore and violence,
Are we allowed blood or dismemberment if the game is age-restricted,
Can gore be added if the game is PC-only and still age rated,
Are reset animations and finishers allowed under some conditions?
We understand that Roblox is a platform aimed at younger audiences, but since our game was age-restricted and even included settings to toggle gore on or off (which didn’t let you toggle them without a even higher account age), we’d like to know how much violence or gore we can safely include without the game getting another takedown.
It’s pretty inconsistent some games have lots of gore and are Rated +13 or +9.
What you could do is have gore off by default and make it a setting, also don’t make it too realistic so moderation doesn’t get mad.
