Hello, I just started working on a cafe project, and I was wondering what type of things I could add to this lobby to bring it to life, and have a player hooked to venture further. This is just the start, around 30 minutes or so of work, and I always struggle on the hook. Please feel free to tell me ideas that will bring the spawn to life. (Hot Air Balloon Landing Area BTW)
THEME: BEACHY VIBE ON A FLOATING SKY ISLAND.
I think what you need is to place some grass around and add some more trees that aren’t on the edge of the map. I also think that the lighting is a bit off. The sky tells me it’s night, but the map tells me it’s day. Also, try adding some potted plants around the spawn pads. Maybe a bench and a glass table. Overall, I think it already looks amazing.
I really appreciate the feedback, just incase you didn’t read it, that platform is a hot air balloon landing platform.
Oh, shoot! So sorry, I didn’t see that haha.
Hi! I think you should remove the decal of the spawn pad as I personally don’t think it looks as nice but that’s up to you. Also same as what Goldengolom772 said, the lightning is a bit off and I think you should add a little pond or something and more trees in the open space.
I actually really like that pond idea, I’ll take that into account, thanks!
Your welcome, good luck on the project!
I cant help but agree with @Stealthninja606 and @Goldengolom772 that the lighting just doesn’t necessarily fit. I would honestly just recommend you change the TimeOfDay to be at least like 4-18 (via 24-hour clock). Also all of the empty grass area just isn’t sitting well for me. I get that its a hot-air balloon landing spot, but that’s still no reason not to at least add in like a hook for you to tie the balloon too, or some stairs to lead up to the hot air balloon.
I’m going for a low-poly design, and I just started so not all the terrain things are down, should I still add like realistic grass? Also, I appreciate the feedback for the hot air balloon spawn!
Well before we talk about the spawn, I suggest using a different skybox.
Remove the decal from the spawns and enlarge the area. In my opinion, I think the spawn should take place in the fountain and then add boards such as “Top 10 Donator” and other stuff like pets and crates.
Trees should be organized when you place them instead of just placing them randomly.
I suggest starting on the building so we’ll get an idea on the placement. Also the mountains are too low in my opinion.
So essentially,
Could you include more things to include to the hot air balloon spawn if it was larger?
Sure, what is your theme of your cafe?
It’s a low-poly cafe for a fast-growing group. I want it to appeal to players, make them choose this group’s cafe, over others.
Theme as in like “beach vibe” or “city vibe”
The cafe is built on a floating island in the sky, I’m probably going for like more beachy vibe.
If it’s a floating island in the sky I would you recommend spawning inside the hot air balloon surrounded by clouds which then attaches to a dock with anchors.
That’s what I’m going for, kinda like Koala cafe and their boat. However, I know that will be something different and cool to players, but I’m not sure what types of things to have on the island to really you know, appeal to players.
I would suggest going to Google Images and searching up floating island concept arts, there is a lot of results and normally you get tons of ideas + your own imagination to create something.
Thanks, I really appreciate your feedback and ideas! 
I think a beach vibe is pretty appealing.
You could have the spawn area on a pier over the ocean with a path leading to the restaurant/cafe.
I also recommend moving the spawn under the map it’s self; not to the point where the player spawns under the map. The spawn should be to a point that you can’t see it.
On the beach area you could add t he following:
• Palm trees
• Beach towls
• Umbrellas
• Folding chairs
• Beach toys
