#AllHallowsDreams - UGC Guidance

Dreams UGC Guidance – All Hallows Dreams

Hey Dreamers!

As All Hallows’ Dream 2021 is fast approaching, we wanted to remind you that we have community and moderation rules for Dreams creators to follow when DreamShaping. These requirements also extend to all UGC created for in-Dreams events and/or promotion such as All Hallows’ Dreams.

Before you start making your spooky creations, we are sharing some pointers which should help streamline the submission process and enable us to showcase as much of your awesome content as possible.

• Remember folks, Dreams is PEGI ‘12’ / ESRB ‘T’ / CERO ‘B’ and content inDreams should be appropriate for these ages. See the respective ageratings board websites for helpful guidance on content suitability for the above ratings.

• Be mindful that content featuring realistic and/or graphic blood, gore and violence may exceed PEGI 12 and/or internal Mm content criteria and may not be permissible. This may include but is not necessarily limited to dismembered bodies, severed bodies and other such gory details. There is a distinction between realistic human-like corpses and characters with cartoon-like features and the latter is more likely to be acceptable.

• Be wary of including UGC that glamourises the use of alcohol, tobacco and/or narcotics. By this we mean showing the content in a way that suggests it is desirable to use these substances or it could be interpreted the content encourages the use of substances in some way. For example, a decorative cigarette prop may be permissible, however a player smoking cigarettes and gaining in-game benefits such as points and/or power boost would likely not be permissible.

• Always remember to submit content for inclusion in any Dreams event that has been created by you and is original. If you are unsure whether something is your original content, the safest approach is not to include it within your UGC. Examples of content may include but are not limited to entire games, characters, environmental assets such as trees and rocks, music, quotes, and lyrics, or third-party brand logos. This is intended as a point of reference only. Note that UGC is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and there may be some occasions where we do not permit UGC in Dreams events. 

We may update and amend this guidance at any time.
