Map 1: rebuild Hollywood as the El Capitan landmark
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/. 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.
