Community Guidelines

• Malicious or abusive content or comments toward creators or other users.
• Revealing an individual's personal information (for example a real name, contact information, address or government ID numbers).
• Hateful content or comments that promote or encourage violence, or whose main purpose is to incite hatred toward individuals or groups based on race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, political orientation and similar characteristics.

• Using third-party content (art, music, sound effects, fonts, writing) without permission and without crediting the source.
• Any copyrighted content you are not allowed to use.

Only upload work you made yourself or have permission to use, and credit your sources in the novel's Credits. If you believe your own work is being used without your permission, contact the team with a link to it.

Art, writing, voices and music made with AI tools are allowed, on two conditions:

• Say so. When you upload a novel, answer Yes to Does this novel contain AI-generated content? and describe which part is AI (for example "the backgrounds were generated with AI"). Players see a Contains AI tag on the novel's page, and can tap it to read your description.
• The same rules apply. AI-generated content must follow every rule on this page, including copyright, and you are responsible for having the right to use it.

• Graphics of nudity, sexual acts or pornography.
• Non-consensual sexual acts, or promotion of sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, kidnapping for sexual purposes and sexual slavery.
• Illegal sex acts, including but not limited to bestiality, necrophilia and incest.
• Any sexual content between characters must respect the age of consent (16 years old) under United States law.

• Brutal, extreme, extended or graphic acts of violence, and terrorist activity.
• Depictions of sadism, or glorification or promotion of inflicting harm on others.
• Glorification or promotion of self-harm.

• Posting unsolicited or unwanted content or links is not allowed.

Before you upload a novel from the app, make sure you have:

• A Kohana account. You need to be logged in to upload.
• An icon for your novel.
• The estimated minutes of gameplay, at least one genre and at least one language.
• For every language you select: a title, a synopsis and between 1 and 3 banners (16:9 images).
• Your answer to Does this novel contain AI-generated content? If it does, a short description of which part is AI.

• Every novel is reviewed by the Kohana team before it is published.
• You can follow its status (In review, Accepted or Denied) under Settings > Homepage Upload Status, and turn on Submission status notifications in Notification Settings to be told when it is approved or denied.
• Reviewers can see your AI answer and description, and may edit the description if it needs correcting. It stays with the novel after it is published.
• Novels that break these guidelines can be declined, or removed after they are published.

• In the app: use Report on a novel's page, or on a comment.
• By email: write to [email protected] with a link to the novel or comment.
