I just want to clear up what is the criteria for PG for this Jam?
Usually it's non excessive gore, no nudity, avoiding topics of suicide.
Is a little blood okay? Guns? I was going for a little mystery/suspense narrative
Question - what about character death? My game has a character death that is not graphic/detailed or homicide/suicide/etc. It's just something that happens. I'm not sure if this is the right game for this jam as I obviously don't want it to be traumatizing to encounter a character death so I thought I should ask so I can know whether to plan and submit something different. Thanks!
Hi there, it very much depends on how you handle the topic. Generally speaking I'd say try to stay away from the topic, we want this gamejam to be open to everyone, and to be as inclusive as possible.
If your game does include suicide, make sure there is a warning in place that is very visible for everyone to see and it should be fine.
