Designing a lobby, but it looks empty and I don't know what else to add

Basically the title. I’m designing a game that I’m going to call “Splitshot”, a competitive quick snipe game, and the following image is the lobby design I’ve been making over the past couple of days (i do NOT specialize in building and design). To preface, I’ve only ever programmed and over the years forgot to develop my building skills with my scripting skills. I think for what I’ve made so far it’s good, but I know it could use either some more details, assets, stuff in general, but I’m not great at mapping out design. Any suggestions would be appreciated, or even just feedback on what I have so far.

The design is really nice overall. I like the use of the texture on the floor, and the general color palette. The neon parts aren’t too distracting either which is a plus, and the paths to the different areas are clear.

I would suggest adding some greenery to fill up the corners and empty spaces. You can make small plant pots to put in the corners. You could also make recantangular versions, and place them along the the walls and have bush parts.

Alternatively if you do not want to add greenery and want to lean in to the sci-fi theme, you can add stuff like tall metal shelves, random pipes, vents (just the outer covering), electrical boxes, ladders, etc.

You can add some lighting effects to the light parts. Since you have many neon parts, I suggest making an invisible non-cancollideable part covering some of your neon parts, and having a single PointLight or SurfaceLight. You can also experiment with adding a SurfaceLight to the floor and giving it another color. The raised portion at the center could also have another SurfaceLight / PointLight with a color contrasting the floor one. Make sure to adjust the brightness and ranges so that they don’t become too distracting. Just a little bit will do.

Another thing, you could add signs to the different areas. You could go either the SurfaceGUI route, or you can make use of the ThreeDText2 plugin by XAXA which lets you have 3d parts/mesh parts of the text. https://create.roblox.com/store/asset/2273628561/ThreeDText-2

Hope the suggestions were helpful, and good luck with your game. Looking forward to sniping on it.

First off, this lobby looks great! Great lighting and very realisitic. One thing you can add is a sort of trophy case that displays which badges the player does and doesnt have
