The dining room at the hotel I'm working on has a small stage, so I made a green room that connects to the back. Really happy with how this came together.

i think that's totally fair! I also think a lot of people would be very excited to find out about your show and archival project (especially those folks digging around discogs for old country albums!)

I started work on some of the underground service hallways for the hotel, but got caught up on someone's little hideout in the old breakroom.

Paintings by Toulouse Lautrec are hanging on the wall above the booths. A cool fluorescent light illuminates the foreground. The far wall is covered in graffiti.

Over the weekend I mapped out the rooms on the right-side of the hotel. Here's a few WIP

I wanted everything to feel abandoned and repurposed, so on the top floor I have the ceiling collapsed with rain coming in, and below someone's collecting rain water for gardening.

Hey all ✨
3 weeks ago I bought an old computer off of craigslist and have been learning how to map in J.A.C.K. Hammer.

I'm working on a large hotel map for The Specialists mod — I'll be sharing my dev progress here while I learn, so if you'd like, give me a follow : )
