Rule #7 of the site (aka R7) says: " Content (a game, image, video, story, animation, etc.) depicting nudity, sexualization or sexual/erotic activity involving prepubescent character(s) is prohibited. A "prepubescent character" is one that visually shows no sign of puberty, or if non-visual is otherwise clearly intended to represent a prepubescent character. 2D and 'unrealistic' depictions are generally looked upon more favorably. As this involves some discretion, if you are unsure ask a Staff Member. "

So if little sister has a flat chest, straight waist, no pubic hair and she is noticeably shorter than her brother, your game is not likely to be allowed on the site.

This is probably when you imply an age, but in the end leave it to the player to choose the ages.
In a game (or book or any other thing that is based on fictional work) you define the age with your description of the characters (through look, behaviour, ...). Therefore, the this little creature with a body like a 5 year old child, is actually a 1400 year old vampire simple won't work.

If you want a game with that, then go somewhere else.

For the rest, if you believe it fits into the zone's "grey" zone, but you aren't sure, open a ticket (staff) and talk with them. If they green light it, then you're save here. If not, then the character is not allowed to be on the zone and if you can't life without it, go somewhere else.

A character under the age of 18 cannot be included in an adult game. End of story. It doesn't matter if the character has absolutely nothing to do with sexuality. It doesn't even matter if they're paralyzed and never leave the bed or speak a single word throughout the game. All characters must be 18 or older. If my memory serves me right, Patreon previously banned a game that was making several thousand dollars a month because of this. One of the characters had a younger sibling with no sexual involvement whatsoever, but rules are rules.

Not only is that not allowed here, it's not allowed on steam and patreon. Mentioning school is overall a bad idea. There might be some obviously underaged (literally pedo shit) games on here that somehow didn't get the ban hammer, but I doubt a new game can avoid it.

Sounds like you're going to be super niche and have a much harder time advertising. If you plan to go on a pay site you'll be stuck, I believe, with SubscribeStar, which is like Patreon except more crippled and lacking engagement.

Id just aim for 18+ characters and make everyone happy and you able to talk about you game on places like this.

Dial it up a bracket... the main character college and the sister senior (18+). Anything else & its pretty obvious whats going on. Best way to avoid an issue is to.... avoid the issue.

Why do you think there are so many games called 'academy'.
