Magic Shop – Modular Building Kit Concept

Structural

A majority of walls, floors, and structural details can be modular. This would include a single type of floor tile and ceiling tile, 3-4 types of wall tiles a horizontal structure, and a vertical beam structure. In addition, windows can be reused just about everywhere.

Large Items

Larger props like counters, shelves, cabinets, and some tables (debating) can be reused. Additional props on top of these surfaces will help to differentiate them and cut down repetitiveness. Two types of cabinets of slightly different sizes and styles will be made. Barrels will be identical besides the items in it (and possibly a closed variation). Shelf lengths will vary and table sizes as well.

Small Props and Clutter

A majority of the space will consist of clutter items. Many of these will be potion bottles, maps, jars, candles, books, and so on. Many of these items will have the same model with slightly varying textures. This will be the same for some wall props like drawings or notes (the shopkeep’s notes and schematics within their workshop for example).
