Would uploading a shooting game on Scratch be a bit extreme(No blood). i am making one  but want to know if its okay with other Scratchers.

You should use your judgment for this type of thing.  In general, we see projects with varying degrees  of violence.  Our community of users also have varying degrees of tolerance.  If you think the project is too violent for someone who is sensitive to violence, you may want to reconsider sharing it online, as it may get flagged and/or removed pretty quickly.

That said, we do see many projects which include violence which are not flagged or removed because they don't really bother anyone that much.

Here is a good rule of thumb: if it is violence against a person, or specific group of people, we would likely remove it.  If it is general violence (war games, shooter games) and does not contain blood, we would likely allow it.

Again, use your judgment.  We won't censor a project for containing violence, but we will if it seems particularly aggressive or offensive to our community.

On another note, I would encourage you to explore making games that are not violent -- since there are already so many war/shooter games available.  Pushing games in a new direction is what has made Will Wright's Spore so heavily anticipated 

Good luck!
