Backstage
Based on a game jam project (called Cash Please), Learning the Ropes is a title currently in early development. Submission for the Fem Devs Game Jam 2021.
The theme of the game jam was "connection". We decided to choose this particular approach, because screening is not only important to ensure safety, but also in order to see if a sex worker and their client are a good match. If the vibe is not right or if the people involved have different ideas about a session, this can negatively affect the experience.
