Alright, we heard you loud and clear, you didn‘t like our posters, so welcome the new and improved style I‘ve made. More coming soon, and they‘ll be animated.

seems like a step in the right direction bro

dont take my shit personally
I‘m not taking it personally

As a matter of a fact I‘m not taking this personally so much that I‘m going to have you kidnapped and locked into my basement and review every poster I made until it looks just perfect. Expect a van infront of your house very soon.

also more lighting related problems

B0EAB511EACA9249AE9C6FB10F816DD17F318309

door on the right is a bit more shawowed out than door on the left

BE3E58F404465B60F338F30B4C200BF7D6342D25

same problem here but on the opposite door


and then there's this:
24AF18A1E158DA7C995ADC2011EC97B8F5B2F2A9

because a building piece that previously blocked the right-most UIL window got removed, its weird ray effect now spans out all the way to the other side of the street

for reference heres how it looks on current version
331F9AB4EC00EECA1335191CF48C4861D328D5D7


the building difference is very very subtle but if you look you'll notice

and either way i think @Gary knows the change he's made here anyway

i dont know, have these things already been taken into account? give me some feedback here am i hunting obvious shit already being worked on or what

yorokobi sushi, the odd ugly duckling of all the businesses on mainstreet is sort of out of place imo. what could make it look better is:
  • removal of the breen posters, potentially replaced with either nothing or japanese/tokyo/city 8 posters.
  • removal of the cluttered garbage on the ground that is absent from every other business.
  • get rid of the window.
  • make it look relatively appealing, maybe change the color tone and get rid of the fact that every wall seems to be a different texture/color.
  • neon signage and lots of it
  • removal or replacement of the window shutter. people walk in and out of the backroom anyways because it gets locked and it always looked awful. metal shutter would be better.

its hands down the ugliest business on mainstreet in need of renovations.

roof is made of concrete
floor is made of paper.
left side is made of union metal
right side is made of drywall
poster wall on left is made of brick or some shit
shutter made of finally aged painted cedar

you get my point its fucking awful and out of place in tokyo, particularly on mainstreet.

not that it matters because this is only in neb lore, but you would think the kobayashi-affiliated business would actually look minimally acceptable and have the only building in the main city with paper clutter

idk, i just sort of scouted it out for the first time and realized how ugly the store is compared to literally anything, even the devil's arse.

i don't see any reason for it not to made to look acceptable/satisfactory when you have literal night clubs with neon in two other places other than it not being worth the effort, which as you are a developer i can understand.

any effort given towards this ugly ass business would be appreciated.

Maybe its just me but.. i kinda feel that this map modifications dont really add much. I've noticed very little diference and I dont know if the changes will have any relevance. Im sorry if im sounding a bit harsh but thats what I see

the plan wasn’t to change too much, was just optimisation and making more use of the footprint we have

The map has went through years of shit building up and it honestly was hell of a task to clean everything up

90% of the work is on the things you can’t see

thank you for leaving the iconic caravan palace radio in. i appreciate the preservation of the original edit's 2015-flavored stain, truly a map rich with history
