I know there’s already some IARC Questionnaire Guidance for Fortnite-standard chat elements, but it would be helpful to expand that for other built-in game elements.
For instance, you might offer guidance for the “Violence” category, considering standard Fortnite combat features or environmental damage (ala deathruns):
- Would those styles be considered “realistic” or “fantastical”?
- Are Fortnite’s cartoony characters “a pixelated or childlike style”?
- Is the standard 3rd-person view considered “close-up” or “distant” perspective?
For the “Fear” category, you might give tips for other built-in game elements (e.g., the fiends or certain sound effects) that you consider to be “scary” or “horrifying”.
Since the island moderators are rejecting islands that don’t match their IARC rating, they clearly have expectations. Sharing those with us will make everyone’s lives easier.
Oh, and it would be great if we didn’t have to re-publish the island just to re-submit the metadata. Right now if you try to resubmit to fix the rating questionnaire it says “this version has already failed content moderation”.
