 Environment Layout and Asset List: When designing the layout of the environment I wanted there to be a staircase between 2 levels so I could place a large window to look out of onto the city when using the stairs, I also wanted the staircase to breakup the level a bit so the environment wasn't as flat. Asset list: Pictured below is a list of some of the finished assets I have made for the environment.  Possible Future assets: Bar props:  Beer taps  Bar shelves Bar fridge  Coasters Beer glasses Shot glasses Additional furniture: Booth Couches Rectangle tables Lighting: More neon lights  Chandelier Misc: More railings  Fog machine Speakers Stage lighting  Additional Cables Sound equipment e.g. turntables VR/AR Lounge  Advertising screens Neon Signs Graffiti and stickers

Environment walkthrough and Backstory: Backstory:  The Nightclub environment is set in a sci fi world in which humanity has colonized dozens of star systems.

I chose brutalist architecture because of the focus on bare steel and bare concrete construction.
