Title: Are there forbidden RPG Maker genres?
Post by: Gaming Princess Luna on July 19, 2013, 02:01:13 PM
Hello and as the subject say's, are there any genres to RPG Maker genres who aren't alllowed, like "Extreme Violence", "Erotic" or "Hardcore" stuff?
'cause I have planed for the future to make a hentai/horror game, so I would ask befor I post it. ;)
And I'm also not sure, where this post belongs to, if I sended it to the wrong topic, please move it. ;)

Uh, why would there be? RPG Maker is a tool used to make your own game creations, just like an author can use Microsoft Word to write his stories. There's no limit to what you can make, good, bad, clean, dirty. My only advice is to keep in mind what audience you actually expect to play through such a game should you release it.

So you mean with that if it's an strictly 18+ game, I should make them with password protection, so not everyone could use it, unless I send them via PM the code?  ???
'cause such games shouldn't be used by under age. ;)
The only why I asked it is, that a link to a site where you can download these games, getted deleted. ;)
So I was unsure if it fits with the forum rules. ;)

If you're asking whether you could post such a game on RMRK, then the content would have to be pretty revolting (child porn; absurdly graphic sexual violence, etc.) before I could imagine anyone here would censor it. As long as it's clearly labelled and the visual content in the post itself isn't pornographic then it should be fine. And certainly, password protecting the content is a good step too given the age of some of the people here.

That said, you might not find much of an audience for that material here either, so keep that in mind.

2. And certainly, password protecting the content is a good step too given the age of some of the people here.
1. In the post I never would use any extreme violence or porn, it was only a question if it's okay. ;)
    'cause there are maybe the one or other in my project. I would use graphiks that are normal RPG related stuff. ;)
2. I thought so, I don't want it myself, that any under age would play such games. ;)
And thank you for the fast answer, now I know what's allowed and what not. ;) You guy's are awesome, I <3 to beeing here registered. ;)

Really, the only responsibility you need to take with such a genre is that it is labelled correctly and is easy to see/find.

Hentai/horror - sounds like an interesting combination. Mind, there are some hentai out there that is horror in its own right, so it may not be as strange as I thought. I don't think I've ever seen come across anything I'd consider terrible or truly explicit. It's fictional and there's no harm/victims involved.

I would definitely provide a warning as to the nature, though. It helps people who are into that to know what they are getting into.

It seems like it's allowed, unless it falls under the extreme examples (etc) that MA listed. *grumbles*

You aren't going to do that for GIAW XI, are you? O_o

For contests, the contest administrator (i.e. you, yuyubabe) can set any rules on content for submissions. Naturally, since all judges are required to play the games and some judges may be underage and/or otherwise unwilling to playing pornographic titles, some rules on that can be warranted.

I assumed, however, that this was a general query since your genre in GIAW is Drama, not Horror, though I suppose there is nothing stopping a Drama from being horrifying :P

And as long as there's no hentai elements in the Drama! :V

I kinda figured the horror one wasn't for GIAW. 8) My problem was if the hentai stuff was going to be a reoccurring theme, or appear in the GIAW. :P But now that I think about it, I guess that would be somewhat un-Drama-like. I'm no hentai expert, though! :mad:

I am looking forward to a Drama game, though. ;_; *emotional*

No, for the GIAW XI there I will do another one, who is drama based. ;)
Is it 'cause you have to play it and really don't like such stuff. ;)
I only thought about this for a while and only wanted to be sure, not to be banned 'cause of a forum violation.  ;D

You can relax, it's not for the GIAW and it would be soonest only in the 3rd project from my list. ;)
The second one only has some Ecchi scenes, so nothing really hardcore like. ;) And the first one is free of all such stuff.  ;D
For the GIAW it's a children friendly Drama. ;) I hope I could reach as high Drama as in "To The Moon" even I think it's a pretty high goal. ;)
But I'm really melancholy, so it could be good, that the drama works for me perfectly.

@Modern Algebra
Yes, you were right, it was a really generally question. ;)

I thought that picture was of Lethrface, because I didn't really look through the link (and I don't know what either of you look like). ;9

It's not necessary to thank me. :) I was a bit of an idiot by making the assumptions about the photo (being someone else), and should have paid more attention to the posts you guys made about it. Then, I could've caught on sooner. ;9
