Yes but how do people give honorable mentions to users. Do they just simply mention the creator’s name. ---

@RoboVacDev winners and honorable mentions are chosen by our crack team of judges (i.e. the makecode team), not by forum members ---

I’ve been procrastinating… I have 22 days to make a game worth an honorable mention. ---

by no excessive violence does that mean attacking via stabbing(no effects) is allowed? and would stuff like guns/firearms have to be censored or just no violent effects ---

> [@richard](#): > > Keep the games PG: no NSFW, offensive, or excessively violent content. Guess that means no guns and blood. But just simple guns I guess. ---

k so actually pretty good news since blood wasnt planned and tbh laser guns are way cooler anyway ---

Oh darn it. I thought that meant no gore. My game relies heavily on a gun. 😭 @richard could we have a verdict on this? ---

I believe in the past users have suggested adding a simple blood/gore warning at the start of their games, which seems to me like a very simple solution. ---

Personally I think no excessive violence means no blood. After all, fighting is practically an inevitability when it comes to games. I’m fairly sure they’d be okay with guns but `@richard` should be the one to decide. ---

Well… I have like 30% of what could be considered an actual game. (A small game) But I can (If I actually try) code my game really quickly. ---
