Is a game I am planning to upload too violent?

It has blood, quite a large amount spawned everywhere with stamp. It is mostly for the artistic style instead of mindless violence and also acts to sort of show your progress. It is not human enemies, is this inappropriate or not?

It sounds a bit messy, but only you have seen it, so only you can judge...

If I upload this and it turns out to be too violent, will it simply get removed or do I risk a ban?

You should be okay. If it is removed, you will know not to do it again.  wink

I can't seem to play it... it tells me to press a green arrow, but I don't see one anywhere. 3:

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Is a game I am planning to upload too violent?

Hmm... it is a very well made game.  smile


I'm not sure what so say...  hmm

Maybe you could make it a bit less realistic? Maybe make the blood green or something?  hmm  That would be safer, and also make it a bit less... excessive...

Zombies are dead right? They have probably lost a ton of blood already...

I tried using green but it made the zombies themselves completely invisible.

A lighter green? A darker green? There are many shades of green...

It should be fine, just warn people in the description if you are worried.
Krazy killer on scratch has a lot of violence and it has got popular rather than removed.

I say remove the blood altogether. It makes the zombies harder to see

Re: Is a game I am planning to upload too violent?

Well blood is a natural thing, right? We've got a ton of it INSIDE us. I think the only time you'd need to worry is if you included serious injuries or internal organs, lol  big_smile  And like you said, you aren't using human enemies, you've got zombies instead, so yeah.

Well, the blood is a bit excessive for one shot.

I agree.  It is a well made game though.  Thanks for sharing, very motivating to see cool stuff like this on scratch!
