Would a Resident Evil game be allowed? (a question for the mods)

I just wanted to know. I love Resident Evil 4 in particular, and would love to remake it. I just wanna know if it would be too violent for the site.


I might return for a little while.

Re: Would a Resident Evil game be allowed? (a question for the mods)

Hmm... I don't know! Scratch has a mixed audience of younger kids and older kids. Younger kids wouldn't tolerate it, but an older kid (e.g. me) probably would. You could contact Scratch via e-mail about the question as well.

I also have another idea: In your project, before you can start playing the game, have a notification sprite that says, "You must be over 13 (or whatever age) to play this game. Press Y to continue, or if you are younger than 13 (or whatever age), close this window/tab." And don't forget to make a script like this for the notification window:

Code:

 {when flag clicked}
show
wait until <key (y) pressed>
broadcast (start game)
hide
[end]

Never mind, you should know how to do that already  tongue

Good ideas! 12 years old I would pick, and I do recognise the Scratch audience. I'll forward this on to the Scratch Team. Thanks!

Re: Would a Resident Evil game be allowed? (a question for the mods)

I would be very careful about any game that's particularly gruesome or violent, especially if it's violence against human-like things. Also remember that a warning is not considered an acceptable safeguard to prevent young kids from viewing your project - if it's too violent for anybody, you should keep it off the site.
