What is this game rated? I don't think that the devs want a Mature rated game.
Prostitution seem like somthing that would be corporate owned in this universe
Perhaps reframe it as the dispossessed instead?
What about "Escorts" or "Entertainers"
Or even sex worker I think is better…
If you're going to have them, call them what they are: prostitutes. This isn't a Tumblr simulator so no need to trip over yourselves trying out-PC each other.
They can be victims of crime or they can be informants. They can even be part of cases where you're hired to lure and photograph a cheating spouse and they are the bait. It would give the camera another type of job.
Hobos should probably have a special system too as informants and eyes on the street. I don't know exactly how it would work but it's a common trope in the genre.
I mean, it's not a bad idea, but this just looks like "I need me an escort in the game. Not for me... A friend would use that"
Not for personal use 🤣
nah, you just pay for their time and then beat them with a bat to get your money back.... whoop, wrong game,
...are you even talking about an existing game?
is it some kind of "Game of Life" situation?
..... ever heard of GTA? I was doing that way back in GTA3 (... wow, missed the joke)
didnt know you were able to do that
I was doing that way back when that game franchise was on the PS2..... it's still a thing today with the latest itteration of the series
Beating People up is evil grand true action would never do that
cough cough cough ...... suuuuuure.
tbf, I only played the online version with my brother, so never really got to do that...
It is still a thing but the joke's been done already so there's nothing interesting to see
Works irl too free money hack
not gonna arugue with that
Call them "Doxie" like in Blade Runner
Thats is a staple gta feature you are in the minority
A retro term that fits the setting well.
Mhm ^^!
Okay, but what is the gameplay and narrative function here? Explicitly victimizing sex workers is pretty gross, and you could instead have a more generic group of vagrants where some are implicitly sex workers without spelling it out.
They would have the same chance of ending up dead as any other citizen. And if you read the thread you’ll see examples of how they can function.
It's a setting where the police outsource murder investigations to third parties. You don't need a marginalized group that people target specifically to avoid the attention of law enforcement in a setting that already disregards core police functions so callously.
