so i want to make a game where your on a secret mission thing and you are a sniper and you have to shoot the targets. there is no blood, but is this allowed, because it technically does have some minor fatalities/casualties?

1. The gun cannot look semi-realistic
2. It has to be safe for all ages, so it follows the CGs.
3. What do you mean by “minor fatalities”? Are you referring to death by any chance? If so, I would stay away from that area.

well, the sniper's job is to take out enemies, so yes, BUT there will be no blood, and all that will happen is them falling over, and most of the time it will be robots.

Yes. Generally, guns are allowed.

However, you are talking about including snipers, which are realistic and modern, and not allowed. However, killing is allowed, just don't be too gruesome about it.

If you want to include guns, then follow these rules:
1. Keep it safe for ages 4+, as the st generally uses that age for what's allowed on scratch.
2. No blood. You should be fine here, and it should be fairly obvious.
3. No realisticness. Generic guns are fine, but snipers ane machine guns are not allowed.

IDK, kind of looks semi-realistic

Look at this


And then this:



See the similarities?

As long as the characters being shot look unrealistic

I would highly say make them look like a non realistic gun so that your project doesn't get taken down


but on this type of gun

it's a bit realistic

but the reason why i think its ok is because https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/489159823 this project has very realistic futuristic guns, some of which look more realistic than the one im using

I'd say go right ahead if it's a sci-fi-type gun (i.e a laser gun), but if it's a real-world-type gun that shoots bullets, proceed with caution.
also, when you shoot the enemies, I'd say refrain from showing any bullet holes. logically it wouldn't make any sense, but I'd say have it hit them and go down bloodless with no bullet holes or physical signs of damage done. again, while it doesn't make much sense, it might reduce your chances of you getting NFE'd.
there's no guarantee that it won't, but I'd say maybe try that?

i'm not sure. because i made a remix to a game with some changes and i added pistols, so idk
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/666201000/

If the gun is unrealistic then it's probably allowed.
Sci-fi laser guns are allowed.
However, if it is semi-realistic or more, it's probably not allowed.

it depends on what you mean by targets. if you mean targets as in objects that archers/snipers will shoot at to practice, it should be fine! if youre shooting beings, then you should be careful, maybe consider another way to tell your story/game without murder

Painted weapons are recommended

That’s what I was trying to do I just don’t know how, and since that forum is just for helping others and I don’t get any gain it’s not really advertising.

True, but they’re robots they don’t have souls
