Hey guys,
I am writing a game for HG & has a medieval fantasy-based setting. I have written 4 chapters so far.
I just finished writing an episode and I think it is way too graphic. It’s a war sequence so I don’t know how much of it I can censor without compromising the feel of medieval war.
Can anyone suggest any unambiguous guide where I can find how to deal with this? Also, any game which you believe deals with graphic violence and sexual violence that I can use as a reference.

Think the scene in the popular game Sorcery! where the character has the choice to indulge in a puff off of some elves (I believe) hookah pipe. Nothing too graphic like poking a needle in their arm and …
what sort of content is allowed in your books? For example: bad language, graphic scenes, etc
I cannot imagine an unambiguous guide, because so much is about context. This sort of thing is often a judgment call.
