And all three replies are strawman fallacies. Totally ignoring the issue I was bringing up.
@Pancaek Why should I have to? Why should one topic be taboo, but others just fine? A joke in another game "What has an arm and four legs? A pitbull on a playground." Apparently wasn't going too far.
But "Would you call a transexual mechanic your tranny tranny?" is. A pun. Even though the joke isn't even about the joke, it's about the reactions of the characters in the game to the joke. Which I explained to Liberty, which is a pretty ironic moniker given the subject.
Why is a joke about a dog tearing apart a child okay, but a bit of word play isn't? They're just words, and they're being used in jokes. Any perceived malice is entirely in your own head. Why should I be held responsible for your sense of humor, or lack of one? Why should anyone?
Or having a character called Faggot Cake. A double or triple pun on fairy cake, cakes of coke coal (pieces of coke coal are called faggots), and pork faggots (a dish so named because of the resemblance to coal). Beyond that it's just a silly name. He's also the healer of the group, a role usually given to female characters (the game is largely a parody/satire of RPGs), and several of his skills are Fairy Magic.
That's the point of this post, which you totally ignored. What is the line? Why is the content of any horror game, considering what most of them are about, more acceptable than puns that use "naughty" words?
@Zeigfried_McBacon I never said they had to do anything. What decency standards? Further, since you didn't personally know what the jokes were, or their context in the game, you're making ASSumptions.
Although that's really irrelevant. Since my post was about the nature of "being offensive" in the first place.
What makes the content of any given horror game more acceptable than mine? Why is it okay to maim, torture, murder, and destroy for the sake of deliberately causing fear, disgust and other negative feelings okay? All of which could be highly offensive. But some jokes that MIGHT upset someone aren't?
Obviously knowing that a horror game will do those things isn't the issue, I tried to give fair warning and I got punished for it.
McBacon. That could offend vegans.
Sailerius, your tag line "did someone say angels" along with that picture, could offend someone.
Practically anything can offend people these days. People go out of their way to get offended at things. It seems to be some people's hobby.
I doubt anyone would take some vegan getting "triggered" by McBacon, or any game with animals getting slaughtered and/or eaten, seriously here. Most people wouldn't even consider that those things could offend anyone.
So why is their offense lesser than that of people who can't take jokes about ANY subject matter?

Censorship
I just had a game submission denied for being "deliberately offensive". Despite stating clearly that I don't find anything in my game offensive, nor is it intended to cause offense. It's a comedy game. They're jokes. When I put in the description that some might find it offensive, I was trying to think of all those precious snowflakes that might find it so.
I guess that's what I get for trying to be nice.
But this really isn't a rant to complain, I just want to know why I should have to play mind police for everyone, and can't/shouldn't use jokes or content in my games just because it MIGHT offend someone.
Why should any of us?
After all, once fair warning has been given, any reaction they have is self inflicted.
When did the act of policing become the job of the content creator, instead of the consumer?

[RMVX ACE] Addiction State
I'm wanting to create a state that a character gets added to them during one area, where they get addicted to something.
Nothing will appear to happen for about 3-5 minutes (game time), then they will get a message telling them they are craving another "dose". Then they essentially suffer from hp drain (poison) till they get one, which resets the timer.
They can get rid of it by using the standard Inn event, which includes complimentary rehab services.
I'm just not sure how I should set up the state/timer events.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Kravenhurst Asylum 2.2.0

I would like to know where i could find the key to the lockbox in the third floor
Where the note tells you it is. Phil is down in ms (maximum security).
Look where you started.
Summoner of Sounds
Here are my three submissions.
Melancholia
Hunted
Behind You
I was feeling rather dark and set upon, so I did some music that matched my mood.

Kravenhurst Asylum 2.2.0
author=o0Dragon0oauthor=acidhedzI'm having the same issue as Cas_Ling, but I've checked all the lockers on the BM and floors 1 and 2 several times, but can't seem to find it...author=Cas_LingI'm thinking you probably haven't found the key for the third floor, it's in one of the guard's lockers.author=acidhedzI understand that I have to get the key to the admin area, and it is with a guard, but where is he? I only saw the rookie, and though there is a lockbox, when I examine it again it says 'No new development' and the admin area is still locked.author=Cas_Ling1st floor in the admin area, you have to get into there first.
I have the key to the doctor's office but I cannot find her office, the other door on the 1st floor, the door on the third floor and Cell A and C on the second floor are locked. Where do I go from here?
And what is the salt and water balloon for?
It's a weapon.
I figured out the problem, the door bug I thought I had already fixed was worse than I thought. I'll have the new patch up ASAP. Actual location of the key(s) you need is(are) in one of the 2nd floor cellblocks. It'll be one of the ones that would kill you no matter what you did when you went inside. I have fixed it so those doors will work properly now.
Let's Play -- Suggestions!
I actually made my game 'Jack to the FUTURE!' to be played on youtube for an audience. It may be the first game designed with that dynamic in mind from the start.
It isn't a short game, but there are difficulty levels if you want to speed things up.
It's a comedy RPG. Think along the lines of... what if Mel Brooks and Stanley Kubrick got together with Hunter S Thompson and Deadpool to make a classic NES RPG spoof/satire, then based it around youtubers, and you might have an idea of what it's like.

New here..list me most Fu$%d up and surreal games?
Both of my games have surreal, messed up, mind screw and all around strange elements. But I also like to layer things in, so there is no guarantee you will notice what I'm up to.
While I always make it possible to figure out what a game is really about, I feel no need to make it easy on you.
Excepting the times when I'm not actually up to anything, but I also don't feel a need to reveal when I'm being obvious.
