Can’t the developer not just hide the small “scary elements” in the game for people under 13? Instead of fully removing the access?
Because that’s honestly what I will do if that’s even possible
Because I do have for a sort of jumpscare, some scary sounds in darker areas (mines) and background music vibing those areas. But i can easily just filter the sounds for those ages and disable jumpscares
Can YOU actually explain this? Because it makes less sense than a toddler playing slop.
WHAT do you define as ‘creepy NPCs’? The Mimic? Piggy?
Does that mean we can have eyes crying red parts? Documentation contradicts it;
yall have released a “forced” feature that we don’t want
what if the questionnare gets declined in the process?
what if it doesn’t go through?
once your audience tells the game is 18+, your game isn’t even allowed to be played on roblox anymore unless any person is ID verified
revert please
oh and yeah, this feature can highly be abused by <13 users to get in the act of having a 13+ account and risking to be put in danger
roblox is known to have bullies, weirdos, and allot of things i cant say on here to avoid suspension on the devforum
I’ve received a few emails about retaking the questionnaire to update my rating, but I don’t know which games it’s suggesting. It would be very helpful to me if each email actually stated which game/experience it is referencing.
would accidental or unintentional fear effect the accuracy of the questionaire? say for example an npc isn’t meant to be creepy but can come off as creepy to some or if an npc happens to drop from a height in front of the player which seems like a “jumpscare”?
RIP Roblox Horror Games.
I don’t see a need to add age restrictions for scary games as you can tell by the genre (when its done being reworked)
Lots of young people play horror games. Honestly, if they aren’t bloody or containing age appropriate content and they know that they are playing a horror game, then I don’t think anything’s wrong. Nobody asked for this update, and I think COPPA laws and legal stuff aren’t making this an issue.
This does more harm than it does good, and games that are horror but are made for all ages to play (DOORS, etc) because it uses aspects other than blood to scare players like suspense, chase sequences (which is technically adventure), jump scares, and other age-friendly attacks at the player. The definition of suspense shouldn’t be classified as horror.
This marks the end of “family-friendly” horror games like Doors, story games, phycological horror, even Piggy. Horror games on Roblox are on its peak right now and this is what you do. At this point, add an age restriction for epilepsy! 
I really think this is an unessesary updste in my opinion. The majority of games including doors and backrooms games are scary. I personslly do not think kids need to be restricted from this
Unless I’m confused about the new ratings system, this will allow more players to access mild to moderate horror, no?
The old was system based on age. The new system is based on levels which can be set by the parental controls.
Am i wrong?
Would a game where a character has a gambling addiction be alowed? (Sounds like a stupid question but ill explain)
My game will be 13+
And so, basically, the game will have a character with a gambling addiction and rhe consequences that it brings. Players will not see any of the gambling, just be told that it happened, and then showing the harmful consequences that it caused. (The game will on no way glorify the addiction and will instead br around not getting into addiction in the first place)
Any chance we can get the word “maturity” changed to something more descriptive?
“Maturity: Minimal” is confusing and verbose. It could easily be misunderstood to represent the content as being “immature” or “childish”, instead of “safe for children”.
