Arasaka Apartment - Cyberpunk 2077 Inspired Environment By Nyla Laurie

This environment was heavily inspired by the CD Projekt Red world of Cyberpunk 2077. My environment design was based on the idea of: what if there was a Mega Building for low level Arasaka employees? It wouldn't feel fancy and new, as some of the apartments in the business districts do, but it would show wear of something that used to be considered desirable for the average person. Imagine Neomilitarism meets Kitsch.
--------------------------------
For this environment, I focused on level design, the feel of Cyberpunk's world and lighting. Over the past two months, I made the modular kits, props and textures, as well as with support from some Quixel scans for set dressing and foliage. Along with creating the environment, I learned how to package builds in Unreal Engine, utilize audio to elevate gameplay, use blueprints to make interactive elements such as the sliding doors and establish a virtual production pipeline for my own work. I really appreciate the new challenge that this environment provided and I hope to continually push myself with every new project I work on.

All credits to CD Projekt Red for the poster designs and to Le Destroy & The Bait for their song: VIOLENCE that was originally used in the Cyberpunk soundtrack.

I really want to send thanks to Chris Ryzebol for supporting me throughout this process and providing a soundboard for all of my ideas, as well as providing his expertise to help me continue to push this environment to its max potential.

And special thanks to Liz Kirby, Adrian Castro, Mike Safioles, Pat Goodwin, Gavin Grigsby, Anthony Pitts, Zach Gainer, Bobby Hernandez and Tristan Meere for providing feedback and/or helping troubleshoot Unreal issues! Thank you to everyone that helped me fix bugs or give their feedback throughout this project. I greatly appreciate it!
