This was a very fancy mall at one point. Mombasa by 2552 is a very rich city, and the mall is surrounded by 4-star hotels, due to its proximity to the beach and one of the major freeways leading to the New Mombasa Space Elevator.

I'm going to make up some backstory:
The mall was built in 2450, demolishing several blocks of housing and an old shopping center. It came shortly after the completion of a major freeway which connected Voi to the Space Elevator. Due to it being the first major exit following the Space Elevator, it received thousands of tourists an hour and eventually was chosen as the spot for the city arena (expect to hear some more about that arena, no contests or anything involved, but I have something in store) and it received its own dedicated train line.
The mall had 17 above-ground floors and 27 below-ground floors, and was THE place to be in Mombasa. It also had a walkway which linked it directly with the Mombasa arena.

Although, MrBig, even though the mall was built fairly recently (in Halo terms), I still like your signs, and they could be adapted to fit the mall.

>If it can look better, I'll try to make it look better. I think it looks really nice.
>Bottom is really empty. What should I place here? Huh. I would think a "Welcome to New Mombasa" icon right there would be nice, since this would be one of the first places tourists see.

For the name, oh well, I don't have originality for names :\ The name is fine. :p

tell me what you like and don't like and I'll change it accordingly.

e: I just realized I should probably get rid of the scratches seeing as they can be added via detail map...

^ Would prefer it to be without the blood, and I'll add in the scratches via detail map.

Lol at first I thought my screen was scratched...

played around with some colors

thought about making a tv type version, but that may take shader work to look nice.

Oi, any other entries? Contest closes Friday.

Anywho, to keep this on the first page:
Tomorrow's the last day for submissions. The mall has now been completely textured, so now all it needs is a name.

Winners will be announced Saturday, giving you until midnight tomorrow to get 'er done (if anyone else is making a submission).

I'm really uncreative so about a day is good enough for me to think of 2 words.

Don't know if I could make a sign for you though.
