The Emperor was to be an abandoned Casino so it had to look left alone un cared for and partially blocked off with barriers fences and light construction, it also had the story of some squatters parking their caravans and tents within the grounds using it as a place to stay.
i did not make the entirety of the location however i worked a lot on top of it to bring extra detail story telling and coherency to the scene. i also had to re-work a lot of the west side of the complex creating a Garden area that had been closed off to the public that originally served as an entrance way. As usual responsible for terrain sculpting/painting, object placement, buildings props etc, and level design.
