Replace the generic boulevard facade with a stylized 6840 Hollywood Blvd block: six Ionic columns, eight stone steps, Masonic frieze/medallions, event banners, side doors, El Capitan Theatre and retail neighbours, Ovation Hollywood arcade, Walk of Fame and four-lane street markings. Add the Day and Night Hollywood venue-menu rows. Night uses a phase-time offset so a full-length shift stays in LATE while the clock starts at zero; late routine traffic keeps the street populated and the offset round-trips through checkpoint restore. Retune local-light falloff to linear attenuation, add a cool north sky fill, and use the smooth limestone facade texture. Refresh the staged gallery and map references; add geometry-budget, menu, night-offset and late-traffic tests.

# Hollywood Boulevard map reference
|
||
|
||
The Hollywood venue is a stylized reconstruction of the real block around the
|
||
El Capitan Entertainment Centre. It is a game space, not a survey-accurate
|
||
model: the landmark silhouette, street wall and approach read from the player's
|
||
eye height, while side streets and interiors are simplified.
|
||
|
||
## Real site
|
||
|
||
- **Address:** 6840 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA 90028.
|
||
- **Coordinates:** 34.10118 N, 118.34009 W (OSM way `424024147`).
|
||
- **Building:** the 1921 Hollywood Masonic Temple, designed by John C. Austin in
|
||
the Classical Revival style; now the El Capitan Entertainment Centre and the
|
||
home of *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*.
|
||
- **Facade:** a light stone/render Neoclassical front with six oversized Ionic
|
||
columns, a recessed main entrance reached by eight stone steps, ornamental
|
||
iron door grilles, a continuous crosscut-grille transom, two street-level side
|
||
entrances, and a parapet with the Masonic motto and circular medallions.
|
||
- **Neighbours:** the El Capitan Theatre (6838) immediately west, a modern
|
||
retail block east, and the Ovation Hollywood frontage (6801) across the
|
||
four-lane boulevard.
|
||
- **Sidewalk:** the Hollywood Walk of Fame terrazzo strip with brass stars runs
|
||
along the kerb; the kerb is painted red in the reference photographs.
|
||

The generated AI references live in
|
||
[`docs/screens/concepts/hollywood_boulevard/`](screens/concepts/hollywood_boulevard/README.md).
|
||
They are art direction for lighting, material scale and composition; they are
|

not texture or geometry sources.
|
||
|
||
## Deliberate simplifications
|
||
|
||
- Show branding is replaced by the venue-neutral `EL / CAPITAN / LIVE` banner
|
||
text. The building name and address are retained.
|
||
- The opposite Ovation frontage is represented as a single arcade block rather
|
||
than its full mall plan. Interiors, the Metro entrance and side streets are
|
||
out of playable bounds.
|
||
- The AI concept frames are 1280×720 references. The in-game geometry is built
|
||
from boxes, cylinders and a small number of custom arch/star meshes so it
|
||
stays inside the Compatibility/Web budget.
|
||
- The venue menu offers Day and Night Hollywood rows. Night is the same
|
||
geometry and scenario with a late-phase offset, not a second baked map; the
|
||
phase still drives sun, sky, fog, windows, signage and practical lights.
|
||
- The landmark facade uses the shared smooth limestone/stone texture rather
|
||
than the noisier granite panel tile. The whole venue measures **58,884
|
||
triangles across 409 meshes** in `test_hollywood_geometry_stays_inside_the_map_budget`,
|
||
well inside the 150k/600 budget.
|
||
- Local lights use linear attenuation (`omni_attenuation = 1.0`). Godot treats
|
||
`0.0` as constant falloff, which previously turned the night facade into a
|
||
flat yellow wall; the sconces now pool light instead.
