DJUTMOSE'S PROFILE

There is a pivotal moment in the plot of my game, early on, which involves the murder of a young girl about 7-8 yrs. old.

The murder is done by the villain, who is a sadistic cult leader, who forces the main hero to witness the act.

The act leaves the hero of the game with major emotional scars and a burning desire for revenge against this villain.

I *could* change the identity/age of the person who is killed, but there is a theme in the story of childhood vulnerability and the murder of the kid really works with this.

It’s supposed to be a horrible moment, traumatic and terrible, it’s not presented lightly by any means.

I’ll probably only show the actual death as a quick flicker of animation, and describe the aftermath with text on the screen or something, to try and make it more tasteful whilst letting the player know what has happened and why the hero is so upset by it.

Will I have trouble finding places to host the game/project? I know there have certainly been very gory and brutal RPG Maker games before, but would this be too much?

I want the game to be somewhat “R” rated and mature in a tasteful way. There will be sexual content and blood, maybe very discreet non-frontal nudity. There’s no way to do my story without most of this stuff.

The murder of the child is really the only “mature” element that I could change if I absolutely have to, which is why I am asking the question here.

My biggest concern is not having a place to promote the game and possibly host it.
Thanks
