Deutsch • Re: Luanti for Youth Work - Dimensions of Laws and how to get a "legal" use of the Game

Thank you, very good Ideas and Informations.

Because LUANTI is considered a Game Creator Plattform (https://usk.de/game-creator-plattformen ... endschutz/) i think a lower IARC for luanti will not be possible.

U need Parentcontrols for sure.

For the idea off doing a stand alone new minetest/luanti for kids, i think that should work.

sadly the answer from USK not really helping. ... When i find more time i will reconnect with them

"wenn sie ein Luanti für Kinder bauen möchten, wäre es angemessen, den Fokus des Produkts auf Crafting, anstatt auf Kämpfe, zu legen. Dadurch würde automatisch die Gewalt wegfallen, welche der ausschlaggebende Grund für ihre IARC USK 12 ist. Wenn diese Elemente dennoch eingebaut werden sollen, müsste die Darstellung der Gewalt reduziert werden. Das heißt, Gewalt gegen menschliche Charaktere nicht aus first-person-Perspektive, ohne Blut und ohne realistische Reaktionen. Der IARC-Fragebogen ist da recht eindeutig in seiner Abfrage und nimmt Entwickler*innen mit Hilfetexten auch an die Hand, wie die verschiedenen Elemente einzuordnen sind"

If they wish to develop a Luanti for children, it would be appropriate to focus the product on crafting rather than combat. This would automatically eliminate the violence, which is the main reason for its IARC USK 12 rating. If these elements are to be included nonetheless, the depiction of violence would need to be toned down. This means no violence against human characters from a first-person perspective, no blood and no realistic reactions. The IARC questionnaire is quite clear on this point and also provides developers with guidance on how to classify the various elements."

I think one should orientate more on minecraft. NO mod integration, local play only. maybe even no PVP

But implementing: That as a parent oder educator through manually customizations you will still have options - f.e. adding LAN/WEB PLAY, mods, and SKINS...
