God of Thunder /// KISS - Grognak's Arena in Toxic Wasteland Shelter

For every ying there must be a yang. And so for the Royal Toxic Wasteland Opera House, there must be something quite, well, yangish.
Concept:
The original idea was to do an old opera house, probably a bit neglected, opposite the new one using a similar basic layout with the more affluent or powerful upstairs and the most common of the common folk on the basic seats where they might get blood and sweat on them from the action. Urban renewal in post-apocalyptic Appalachia isn't really a thing, so maybe it would be infested by cockroaches, or rats, or (shudder) poor people.
The caged stage was inspired by the idea of the unwashed throwing things at the performers. That evolved to being a cage for, well, cage fights. From there, things fell into place.
Technical:
Grognak's Arena was built in Adventure mode and I can assure you that foundation merging in this shelter is not the easiest thing to do, at least for someone as poor at foundation merges as me. There are merges and little bits here and there, but hopefully they are seamless enough that you don't really notice.
Recording:
Recording was on custom world for 2 reasons:
The dark fog weather
The extra build budget to add fires EVERYWHERE.
Acknowledgements:
The reason I can have fires everywhere is because Talibe made me a mod. Mista Toad is intent on holding us back, even in our own shelters that can handle hundreds of light sources without causing lag but let's find ways to do it anyway. It just works, - when we fix it, yes it sometimes does.
The concert video was uploaded by Kaycee Cool. It's not a professional recording so picture and sound quality isn't ideal. Ok, it's bad. However, it was perfect for this video. Here is the link • KISS God Of Thunder - ...
I hope you enjoy Grognak's Arena

Fab! Loved the build, the vibe and the private show ☺️
Kept wondering how you edited the footage so it was behind the bars - it looked awesome! ❤❤

[@fo76kashy]

Thank you akk ❤. This was a new technique as cropping hundreds of layers per cut would have been impossible for me. There are limitations but it was ok here. I’ll share with you on Discord as it’s a bit techy for here. 😅

Der Konzertsommer geht weiter. ^^ Ich bin gespannt, wer als nächstes auf der großen Bühne steht.
Auch hier hast du eine tolle Homage und ein sehr passendes Setting für Song und Künstler erschaffen. 😁🎸🎹🎶

Thank you Muecke. 🙏🏽.
As for the next concert, it seems poor weather has caused delays, so I can’t say when it will be. No refunds are available but pre-purchased tickets will be honored at rescheduled events. 😅
