Do you guys want interior or moon first
both
steel apexBOT
midnight forge
Idk
wise sage
what's the concept you're using it for? Depends on that imo
tardy rivet
you mean what interior i’m making?
i’m making a catacombs interior, similar to tolians egypt one (i think it’s called tombs) but make it a little less egypt-y and more paris catacomb-y
so tighter spaces, darker areas, lots of bones and other things
also there’s going to be less common grand rooms which are very big rooms
wise sage
then I think that texture should work well then
Do you have any plans for a sewer interior at some point btw? I really think it'd fit hydro
tardy rivet
i could make one, but itll take some time since i’m just learning interiors and moons
still pretty new to modding
midnight forge
i could make one, but itll take some time since i’m just learning interiors and ...

Im literally working on the entrance right now

tardy rivet
I’m working on modeling the entrance tile right now
If anyone wants some sneak peeks
But I do have generation working, including fire exits and such
tardy rivet
trust me it will look better with textures
tardy rivet
midnight heath
Looks good
tardy rivet
thanks!
tardy rivet
yes yes
I decided to start texturing and lets just say it looks awesome right now
its hard to see with the grid lines but
theres a tile on the floor and the escalators have textures
tardy rivet
first tile finished! all I need to do now is give the untextured walls a glass material in unity and then do the fine tuning stuff also in unity!
and the pillars are textured its just far away so you cant tell
tardy rivet
Imported into unity and glass material is done :>
midnight heath
looks good
tardy rivet
thanks!
tardy rivet
i removed the glass because I'm going to make the store fronts fill those spaces instead
midnight heath
It's a mall?
tardy rivet
yes
midnight forge
LOOKS AMAZING. 🤩
midnight heath
looks really good!

Who gave you those suggestions
tardy rivet
thank you!

Who gave you those suggestions
you did

*gasp
midnight forge
i have 6 more tiles planned
What are they
tardy rivet
Fine heres the list:
Straight Hallway
L- Shaped Hallway
T-Shape Hallway
4 Way hallway
Food Court
Basic Store
tardy rivet
i widened the doors and made the top ones large, i feel like it gives the tile more life
this is probably going to be the final change for now, I will start making the stores now
tardy rivet
hi fan
tardy rivet
I currently have 6 store variants planned
feel free to check them out in the docs link above!

tardy rivet
tardy rivet
some variants of the new tiles
they are one sided walls for optimization but you can probably figure out what they are
1 - 4 door hallway
2 - Big bottom t-shape that will always connect to main entrance
3 - Standard t-shape
I havent decorated yet, please give some suggestions to make it look nice
I did do stores but I'm redoing them because I dont like how they turned out

how about this?
and then I just rearrange a bit and then I have a sign for the entrance
I played around with shapes in canva thats the only way ik how to make logos
glass bane
Oh ! I'm curious to see how it will turn out, good luck with it
tardy rivet
thanks!
tardy rivet
ok
chilly pulsar
heres what it looks like
each individual store has certain props to fit it
(candy store, arcade area, etc)
its a level from the upturned
(meaning all of the assets are from zeekers himself)
tardy rivet
hmm
I dont know how I feel about it, it just feels a little bland for what my vision is
Maybe its just the lighting in unity
marble lotus
i still think the vision for a mall interior would be combining mall and airport themes
tardy rivet
hmm
maybe
they are pretty similar themes, so I think they would work pretty good together
an airport without the plane stuff is similar to a mall
like with the restaurants and the stores
marble lotus
many airports are straight up shopping malls too
tardy rivet
yeah very similar
that made me think about adding some shuttles that take you from one part to another though
chilly pulsar
I dont know how I feel about it, it just feels a little bland for what my vision...
this isnt the final ofc lol
tardy rivet
some airports have that I believe
chilly pulsar
if i ever made a mall interior it wouldnt be that empty
tardy rivet
is that the entire mall part in the game?
chilly pulsar
is that the entire mall part in the game?
yeah, but if i converted it into an interior (which i decided i wasnt gonna do a long time ago) i would have made my own edits and added my own assets and possibly rebuilt the room
im just showing the textures and some of the models if you want them
theres shelves, signs, etc
a clothes store
mirrors, couches
alot of stuff
but i think if you made all the assets yourself that would work fine too, do whatever your creative vision is
tardy rivet
Ooo
can you send me the level?
the gate textures I might want for something
and a couple of those prefabs you mentioned
untextured vending machine i'm working on
I dont want to add snacks because
- I dont feel like it
- I want to give it an abandoned feel
but not overgrown abandoned
like recently abandoned
chilly pulsar
I dont want to add snacks because
1. I dont feel like it
2. I want to give it an...
you could just add empty wrappers...
otherwise it feels kinda lazy
idk
tardy rivet
yeah maybe
chilly pulsar
rats get into old vending machines and eat all the snacks out of the wrappers
so it would be very plausible
id reccomend taking a look at some of the assets in playzone, theyve got great vending machines and stuff
mainly in the more non play themed sections
tardy rivet
can I even look at the assets in playzone in unity?
ive never figured out how to do that
like take other mods into unity
chilly pulsar
like take other mods into unity
uhhh
you cant really do that unless you rip them
which generally isnt good to do unless they give permission
id just ask them about the assets / inspect them with imperium freecam ingame
tardy rivet
ohh ok
tardy rivet
so something like this?
finite crane
I dont want to add snacks because
1. I dont feel like it
2. I want to give it an...
Having nothing feels far too flat tbh.
Having a few in there does make sense, since if the mall was abandoned you'd reason to believe some were never eaten until they expired
tardy rivet
ok i’ll add some snacks
chilly pulsar
so something like this?
yess
dont forget to add the numpad and drop area to your model
and maybe a card reader / money insert bit
midnight forge
Add a rubber room store
chilly pulsar
full of rats
midnight forge
tardy rivet
dont forget to add the numpad and drop area to your model
i do need to add that
i was thinking ab doing it with textures for the drop area
where it’s just like open here or something
finite crane
I would suggest using Bezier curves and an array modifier for the metal coils inside
tardy rivet
ok ill try that
tardy rivet
these bezier curves are hard to make circles with
glass bane
heres what it looks like
tardy rivet
getting more progress done with vending machine, used a circle with screw modifiers instead
so now you can see the spirals connect to each other now
tardy rivet
@chilly pulsar can you send the upturned rip you have?
chilly pulsar
<@856689661149184000> can you send the upturned rip you have?
not at home right now but ill try and find it when i get home
tardy rivet
ok
tardy rivet
i made a chip bag yesterday and i’m trying to make a candy bar of sorts
tardy rivet
how do i check lol

yeah the chip bag i can smell the polygons
dont ask how
but if you placed it a ton around it might result in some
"performance issues"

plucky sigil

tardy rivet
what
finite crane
i got the springs in the vending machines down to about a thousand each
Like... You just... Use a triangle. Its such a small element that anything more is wasted geometry because of the game's post processing
finite crane
I angled it like this
hidden sluice
?
Mb I was at work
Yeah probably what jacuj said, though I'd like to see the whole vending machine to really be able to tell for style. From just an optimization standpoint though, I agree, the springs could probably be yoinked altogether since they'll likely be obscured by snacks anyway
finite crane
Lethal's style is very simplistic and low poly. Frankly what I did is still a bit overkill when compared to some of zeekers' stuff
nimble vector
Zeekers stuff is somehow over optimized in some areas and wildly un-optimized in others but man when it IS optimized it's REALLY optimized though half the time you wouldn't know just by looking.
It's kinda a wonder the way the game is built that it's almost it's own philosophy..........God that sounds pretentious but you get the point.

nice i got it with these polys
finite crane
A little too thin in the gaps? gotta remember items need to fit in there
tardy rivet
like this?
finite crane
yeah
tardy rivet
this is the model with redone springs
i might have to make the textures myself because i cant find any good ones online
for the keypad and such
tardy rivet
i had an idea yesterday where the apparatus room is called the apparatus cafe and the cafe surrounds a giant apparatus prop in the middle but idk where i would put the apparatus
tardy rivet
idk if I will add actual textures to the chip bags and candy bars because i dont think they need them that much
they could just be solid colors and i think it would be fine

2 hours of texturing this fuckass bag of chips
tardy rivet
i didnt know you were working on it that long lol
finite crane
Actually 3 hours now that I think about it
nimble vector
.....I just realized something. How will the tiles load and generate? Will the mall be mostly Big semi-static tiles with smaller store tiles generating in the store spaces or is something else entirely?.
finite crane
seems like the most straightforward way of doing it
tardy rivet
yeah pretty much the only way
plucky sigil
2 hours of texturing this fuckass bag of chips
bro you cooked so hard
for a bag of chips thats crazy
i love it
finite crane
at this point you should probably make the vending machine functional
plucky sigil
XD
tardy rivet
that and the escalators
plucky sigil
could be like the vending machines from cozyoffice
tardy rivet
but its too hard😭
plucky sigil
even with JLL?
finite crane
that and the escalators
this might help https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/pacoito/itolib/
plucky sigil
yeah, itolib andJLL are the answer for more wacky things like functioning elevators or things like that hehe
tardy rivet
i dont think anyones done escalators before
finite crane
actually, you should just be able to use the company cruiser parenting script
plucky sigil

tardy rivet
yeah, but i would have to animate the escalator

i hope not
shy aurora
<@161039146008182784> How would one go about making an escalator in LC <:ThinkO_...
I forgor
It does depend on how you're thinking of implementing it
Don't really need a library for it also, it can be done with vanilla stuff
Bozo Ferris wheel's pretty much just a bunch of PlayerPhysicsRegions attached to the spinning wheel through PositionConstraints
Gotta make sure to eject the player when they reach the top/bottom, or else they'll keep following the physics region
I'd show pictures of how the Ferris wheel's set up but I have no power at the present moment
Probably should animate the escalator motion too
tight lily
You could make it a flat escalator so all you need to do is make a scrolling texture
tardy rivet
like a flat ramp?
chilly pulsar
2 hours of texturing this fuckass bag of chips
its peam.
tardy rivet
yes peam indeed
hidden sluice
do you have any name suggestions for the halloween store?
Bingus bongus bolongus
Trust 🙏
tardy rivet
maybe
tardy rivet
Something like this
alright jacuj helped making this but now all i need to do is get a scrolling texture and get the player able to move on it
he also had a good idea where i can implement the chip bag and candy bar as scrap and have them be pushed out by the vending machine
midnight forge
chilly pulsar
waht
nimble vector
2 hours of texturing this fuckass bag of chips
Bloody legend here
Perhaps this one could help with texturing? I'd like to see some of this style in the mall. It be perfect as scrap or an item in a grocery tile.
tardy rivet
yeah that’s the plan lol
nimble vector
WOOOO- i cannot express how exciting of a team up this feels. That might sound silly but you two would be dynamite together.
tardy rivet
lol hes been helping out quite a bit already
tardy rivet
this could work actually
now since i don’t have actual stairs im going to have to make some
since malls also have stairs as well as escalators and elevators
nimble vector
Sick dude, also i don't know why but for some reason the council in my tisms within my brain decrees that:
"the textures being made to blocky yet smooth like a PS2 graphic while keeping to lethal company's style would be most fantastic"
Idk why part of me wants that.
It's also assuming the physical model is still going to be made like a flat ramp
nimble vector
.........I'm not psychically linked am I?
tardy rivet
maybe
nimble vector
tardy rivet
do you guys think this lighting is good for the entrance?
plucky sigil
Ominous
nimble vector
Yes though maybe a dim light fixture or two could be a nice touch. Maybe a fake skylight so there's dimly lit bright spot in the middle?
It's hard for me to say because I don't know if it has lights, if the lights are broken, and other things.
It looks spooky and still visible put it that way, it looks good.
tardy rivet
i already have a fake skylight at the top
nimble vector
Ah
tardy rivet
tardy rivet
I need an opinion on this
The first option will be better for that tight lc feel, while the second will be a better mall appearance but the downside is the open areas which will take away that tight feeling
i personally lean towards the second option, because I feel like the single mall tile is unrealistic while multiple mall tiles is better for realism yet takes a teeny tiny bit of immersion away
maintenence halls would basically be the entire interior
but i just want to see how you guys feel about it
finite crane
Maintenance halls? Like a basement area or something?
plucky sigil
A mall is not just one room with stores at the sides
That would be more like a street center or smth
tardy rivet
yes i know but people have suggested that
tardy rivet
Maintenance halls? Like a basement area or something?
yes like a bunch of employee rooms and such
finite crane
Nah you just make one large tileset for the mall hallways, and a second set for the stores, then you have the stores connect to the hallway set only
plucky sigil
Other mall tiles can be tinier
They dont need to be that crazy
But having only 1 mall tile makes 0 sense
tardy rivet
but i also have people wanting back rooms/maintenance tiles
tardy rivet
But having only 1 mall tile makes 0 sense

yes that’s was i was planning on
plucky sigil
First of all, i highly recommend it haha
Its basically a movie
In youtube
Same creator of the backrooms video
And, most of it happens on a mall
Its an amazing inspiration
Has all of what you are saying
finite crane
Watched it myself, actually really nerve racking, especially by the end
tardy rivet
is that the one with the rolling giant?
finite crane
Although, I think the mall could use a more interesting overall shape
plucky sigil
One is 12 minutes, the other 42 or smth like that
plucky sigil
Although, I think the mall could use a more interesting overall shape
Which one?
finite crane
this one
plucky sigil
Lunqr's mall or the oldest view haha
tardy rivet
i think he means this
finite crane
nice
tardy rivet
yeah i could try to make more varieties of shapes
finite crane
I mean kind of just overall
chilly pulsar
when in doubt oldest view it out
tardy rivet
i think i’ll stick with the main entrance being the shape it is, but the only main shape change other then squares and rectangles is a large circular atrium
about three stories tall
chilly pulsar
Watch it pls i beg you <:perceive:1208563314842533918>
oldest view is genuinely peak
how the fuck did kane 1:1 an entire god damn MALL
and make it look that realistic
plucky sigil
Kanepixels is a master in what he does
I really look forward to the backrooms movie
tardy rivet
Watch it pls i beg you <:perceive:1208563314842533918>
i will, i’ll also take some reference pictures and you guys can lmk what you think
plucky sigil
Yippeeee
tardy rivet
how the fuck did kane 1:1 an entire god damn MALL
he modeled it entirely, or was it a team?
plucky sigil
Alone
tardy rivet
wow
plucky sigil
He did everything
Its based off of a real mall
That was destroyed in like
2006?
tardy rivet
i saw the first few minutes of the first episode and it was pretty realistic
someone told me to watch it but it was a little slow and i was looking for references
tardy rivet
sorryyyy
plucky sigil
I died because of that
plucky sigil
Why:0
tardy rivet
well i think the winner might be obvious since i don’t think many people will be scrolling up for this
tardy rivet
Why:0
i don’t know
i just came to a point where idk what else to do but have so much planned
plucky sigil
You could start wotking on other tiles
Sometimes that same thing will then let you go back to old tiles with more inspirations
tardy rivet
you’re right you’re right
ornate tundra
i mean entrance tile can be large theres no problem with that
you could set it up so main tile is big, and has many "doors"
(hallways connecting to main entrance tile, some fairly large and some tight-nit)
which you want to do is up to you but both would work
ornate tundra
if we're considering this tile for example there could be a wide tile connecting to where those escalators are, and stores along the walls which i assume is the idea
the tiles that can connect there would just match the width of the room and branch out to whatever
some can have smaller doors on the sides that specifically connect with thinner tiles for variance, etc
tardy rivet
that’s actually the plan lol
finite crane
tardy rivet
what is that
finite crane
idk, just seeing if I can make the overall design look more interesting
tardy rivet
i mean i see the vision, it looks more fancier than it has to be though
tardy rivet
maybe
tardy rivet
either that or really simple cubes

have you asked Matt and pacoito to have references of their mods?
thats like the one i want the most haha
finite crane
A kind of "ring" like in this pic
plucky sigil
What about something like this for main entrance?
more than main, that could work as another mall tile
finite crane
hu?
nimble vector
As long as they feel correct walking through and are roughly the same size with a small margin of difference I think it should be fine. Most mods in design aren't exact or super precise and neither is the vanilla game really.
tardy rivet
have you asked Matt and pacoito to have references of their mods?
what mods?
tardy rivet
Is this too big? im trying to normalize the tile sizes
it might be to small
nimble vector
have you asked Matt and pacoito to have references of their mods?
????
nimble vector
it might be to small
I find that a little surprising actually
tardy rivet
i would like to have 4 smaller stores on the bottom of each side and 2 large stores on the top of each side
tardy rivet
im talking about width and height here
hmm
finite crane
Wait... Large stores uptop? That doesnt make sense
tardy rivet
i don’t know the size in comparison to the old entrance
nimble vector
Some malls have a layout like that
tardy rivet
Wait... Large stores uptop? That doesnt make sense
i saw references that do have that
finite crane
I would have thought having the largest and thus most popular stores at the bottom make most sense
nimble vector
It's because some malls their lower floor is below ground so architecturally it's easier to build bigger spaces on top then to do it in the bottom where you have to deal with ground and the foundation.
nimble vector
Some malls also start on the higher floor instead of the lower floor as well.
finite crane
nimble vector
That's another reason
tardy rivet
I would have thought having the largest and thus most popular stores at the bott...
maybe they love money and would want customers to walk through the stores and have potential to see something that catches their eye, hence more money
nimble vector
Oh I didn't even think about that
nimble vector
Yes please
finite crane
Also this is definitely gonna need JLL because of 4 tilesets 💀
tardy rivet
4 tilesets?
nimble vector
Well at least we're not trying to pull a notezy and making something mechanically new entirely.
No shade on them though, I enjoy their pioneering and innovation.
finite crane
Uhh, no.
Hallways
Small stores
Large stores
Maintenance
If you combine stores then small stores can spawn upstairs and vice versa
nimble vector
Oof
And I'm guessing we REALLY don't want to mix maintenance with hallways either.
finite crane
From my understanding only tiles from the same set can spawn, provided their bounding boxes dont intersect
no
Like
You can define what tileset connects to what connection point, but not any specific rooms
So hallways connect to hallways, and the store spots can be set to connect to the small and large store tilesets respectively
nimble vector
Well it could be worse. It still seems pretty manageable.
tardy rivet
well technically i dont have to do tilesets but instead i can do sockets
nimble vector
At least it's not like the half life moon's interior
tardy rivet
only two of the same sockets can connect
nimble vector
At least it's not like the half life moon's interior
Roughly 6+ sets and upwards of 130 individual tiles.
tardy rivet
so i could do large store sockets, small store sockets, mainetenence hall sockets and so on
plucky sigil
bozoros and playzone
so you could have the buzz arcade be based off playzone
nimble vector
so i could do large store sockets, small store sockets, mainetenence hall socket...
I like this but don't sockets have some weird bugs when they're used like this?
tardy rivet
I like this but don't sockets have some weird bugs when they're used like this?
not sure
plucky sigil
bro i forgor the name
tardy rivet
merry go round
tardy rivet
yeah ill reach out to them
plucky sigil
both have the most potential for the mall hehe
btw
whats that wooly toy store thingie?
tardy rivet
just a generic toy store
plucky sigil
why is it in regular stores i mean
you dont wanna do a reference to toy store from wesley?
tardy rivet
oh because its a non mod store
tardy rivet
you dont wanna do a reference to toy store from wesley?
Ohh you're right
nimble vector
yeah ill reach out to them
Actually getting their help at some point might also be worth looking into if you're already going to reach out to em', more hands couldn't hurt.
tardy rivet
i forgot about doing a wesleys toy store reference
tardy rivet
Actually getting their help at some point might also be worth looking into if yo...
pacoito's been helping me with making the escalators work
nimble vector
Oh sweet
finite crane
Sooo, the hallway tiles are gonna be 6x6 (on the blender grid anyway)
That means they should line up perfectly as long as you get the bounding box right in unity
nimble vector
That sounds good
nimble vector
I think they're doing both
finite crane
Yeah, ill make the entrance a bit more grand
Just a straight hallway seems a bit too basic
nimble vector
I like your work flow
finite crane
I mean, main entrance is gonna be part of the hallway tileset, its just gonna be a unique tile; the one that generates first
finite crane
I like your work flow
Ive never made a moon before 
plucky sigil
Just a straight hallway seems a bit too basic
i kinda like the one right now
i would less change the current one and instead expand more on other ones
the feeling of, entering the interior, and be presented with a massive room with stores at all sides, second floor
finite crane
Im thinking ill make an intersection, and then make a unique tile for main where its a variation of the intersection with a hallway already connected to it acting as "main entrance"
finite crane
The same feeling as the mansion, where you enter this grand hallway that offshoots into smaller hallways that are coated in stores and advertisements
plucky sigil
exactly
finite crane
Like this
plucky sigil
but even bigger, and crazier hehehe
nimble vector
Ive never made a moon before <:yoiled:1181287712943259738>
Never have I, I can't even code
plucky sigil
we are literally talking about that in the other thread
tardy rivet
i would like the hallways to have a shorter height then the main entrance though
plucky sigil
its not necessary to know how to code
tardy rivet
maybe no second floor on the hallways?
finite crane
huh?
tardy rivet
like in the hallways theres no second floor
finite crane
Why tho
plucky sigil
wa
nimble vector
You could make it so in the Hallways the second floor on the connecting bit which connects to the store area ends and curves off to bathroom or maintenance like areas with the rest of the hallway being this big open area.
tardy rivet
wdym
tardy rivet
yes?
tardy rivet
its for stores
nimble vector
Like instead of the store area just kinda ending awkwardly the hallway tile could have second floor like bits that end with guard rails and a part of the floor that leads to doors marked as bathrooms or employee only maintenance areas so it's not just abruptly cut off
tardy rivet
yeah i could do that
nimble vector
And also the floor and guard rail instead of it being flat and rectangular has a curved end.
tardy rivet
in the entrace tile?
nimble vector
And also the floor and guard rail instead of it being flat and rectangular has a...
Like if you rounded the corners of a rectangle and took one of those rounded bits starting straight and curving circular into the wall.
In the Hallway tile when it connects to the store tile.
I'm just thinking on how to end the floors on the sides without it just being flat and just blocked by wall or rail.
Like this
Top is the back area of the store tile that connects side to side floors (which would probably have stairs or escalators) and either side is it's own floor.
The bottom rounded parts would be where the hallway tile and store tile are cut but connected.
These corners are where a bathroom or maintenance door would be located like I mentioned earlier.
This would probably be for the top floor because it's up in the air and it's the floor that gets cut off from the hallway since the hallway has no second floor.
Bottom floor would just be flat and normal.
Actually wait
Sorry looked back at the layout from the model above
This probably how it would more look like.
Idk you get the idea
tardy rivet
sorry i really don’t understand
tardy rivet
this confuses me
finite crane
?
nimble vector
It's the literal shape of the upper floor
I'm trying to show visually what I'm describing
tardy rivet
are the red lines themselves the floor or the space in between them
nimble vector
They are the floor themselves, it's an outline.
It's the left and right portions of the upper floors
It's this
tardy rivet
in the main entrance?
finite crane
Dude what are you even talking about?
nimble vector
Lunar said that they didn't want the hallway to have a second floor and I saw this and I thought "that would just make the upper floor look cut off"
So I thought about essentially an end area for each side of the upper floor
Ending like a curved bit that has doors for like employee areas or bathrooms.
Just don't doesn't look like it's being cut off abruptly.
Idk
tardy rivet
so just curve the railings?
nimble vector
And part of the floor, that part is just like style flourish. And then just doors or something at the end so it's not just empty.
Anyway sorry for my autistic ramblings I don't always know how to coherently describe what I'm thinking.
tardy rivet
its all good, coming from a person with adhd that was hard to process
tardy rivet
yeah me too lol
finite crane
I still dont get it, why are we scrapping the second floor?
tardy rivet
idk tbh
nimble vector
Idk something about making the hallway a different height or the hallway not having a second floor. The store tile is fine.
nimble vector
I think we all need to scroll up
tardy rivet
fineee keep the second floor in the hallways
tardy rivet
wdym?
tardy rivet
no its fine
finite crane
tardy rivet
move that circular thing halfway
finite crane
wat
tardy rivet
are you sure its up to scale?
tardy rivet
alright i guess its fine then
plucky sigil
And its properly scaled on the grid
are you pointing me with a gun?
tardy rivet
is this the hallway?
tardy rivet
are they all spread out equally?
finite crane
yeah
the straight hallway pillars are great
the intersection, sketchy
How about this
finite crane
Could put a tree in the middle, or that carousel thing someone suggested
Will do that later though, its science time
tardy rivet
Will do that later though, its science time
science?
finite crane
plucky sigil
time to watch oldest view
lets goooooooooo
these 2
the others you can skip
they are more abstract
tho, dispersal is also a good one
tardy rivet
theres no way he modeled the outside part
tardy rivet
ik he didnt but that wouldve been surprising if he did
plucky sigil
i mean
if you aren't paying that much attention
you could think everything was real
i had a few friends that thought it was real till the giant appeared haha
tardy rivet
i could really only tell because of the shadow on the floor
first of all, i like the layout of this part and the music thats playing
second of all, that was nerve-racking
plucky sigil
keep watching:3
tardy rivet
the way he made the mall looks so open but feels so tight
i like this environment too, its what im going for with the hallways
plucky sigil
tardy rivet
that was confusing but so good
tardy rivet
nimble vector
nimble vector
Could put a tree in the middle, or that carousel thing someone suggested
.....but what if....small trees here and there but still big carousel in middle. Could even do trees around carousel.
Oh wait. I see tree. Nevermind.
Maybe do carousel in store area.
nimble vector
Actually carousel in store tile could make sense because it would be like a thing to keep kids busy while the parents shop.
In my mall it was kinda like that.
That's why a bunch of clothing and shoe stores were near it.
Also I got to ask: will there be a food court tile or is it already too much?
plucky sigil
ther eis only one restaurant planned as of now
but a food court would be neat tho hehe
nimble vector
Well if you need restaurant ideas so I can probably drum up something. Let me know if you need anything.
nimble vector
I'll come back with a list. Just let me know if you guys (especially lunar and jacuj) have anything specific in mind. I'd hate to present anything that goes against the vision.
plucky sigil
Was gonna be a more modernish mall
But im not really sure if thats still the case hehe
nimble vector
well alot of the game is very 1940's and 1960's based while also having some modern 2020 elements so it wouldn't be too out there, i mean i fucked around a bit with the time periods of my naming conventions for the store names from earlier.
G.U.S.I was very much 90's based
nimble vector
here's a restaurant name list, if there's anything anyone wants that's not in here let me know.
realized how horrifically long it would be if it all was just tossed into discord so i just put it on a txt file.
chilly pulsar
hmmm… liminal house themed store that sells furniture?
i think cabin would be older furniture so liminal house would have new furniture
if my outdoor interior was out id suggest that as a gardening store
i mean technically you could do it before it releases
tardy rivet
here's a restaurant name list, if there's anything anyone wants that's not in he...
you worked on this for 2 hours???
tardy rivet
Also I got to ask: will there be a food court tile or is it already too much?
the food court tile was planned already
i should probably not just have a list for stores though
tardy rivet
how do you guys think about this?
thats going to be the code rebirth store sign
wait a minute
there we go
that looks the same nvm
its fine
cerulean token
plucky sigil
how do you guys think about this?
3 floors???? :0
plucky sigil
if my outdoor interior was out id suggest that as a gardening store
There is already greenhouse
tardy rivet
i don’t think there is actually lmao
plucky sigil
I mean
If you were to make a garden store, it could probably be referencing greenhouse
Tho a collab would be even better
Hehe
chilly pulsar
If you were to make a garden store, it could probably be referencing greenhouse
the outdoors will have greenhouse bits too
You could go either way
plucky sigil
:0
A collab would be the best
I would also love a
Tourist store, having multiple references to moons and interiors
glass bane
outside is real
It's 3d modeling, and I'm not joking, I was extremely surprised at first when I've learned it
plucky sigil
Like atlantica, atlantean citadel, egypt, tomb, maybe atlas abyss,

It's 3d modeling, and I'm not joking, I was extremely surprised at first when I'...
Naaaah
Dont mess with me
Im gonna scream
glass bane
plucky sigil
No way
plucky sigil
Oh yeah i know
He did everything by himself, and looks way too realistic
But Lunar was thinking that the outside area, where the video starts, was also 3d modeling
glass bane
Aaaaah!
tardy rivet
Tourist store, having multiple references to moons and interiors
yes that’s the tourism brochure idea
plucky sigil
For visiting unique places
tardy rivet
i could do rivaling gardening stores with one being greenhouse and another as the outside interior
plucky sigil
For egypt and tomb you should ask tolian pretty sure
chilly pulsar
https://youtu.be/U5vOW3BKaq0?t=96
i really wanna learn motion tracking to do that stair shit
Blender has it built in i think
tardy rivet
For egypt and tomb you should ask tolian pretty sure
maybe maybe
tardy rivet
3 floors???? :0
yes, theres going to be three max
