Supposedly RED and BLU are massive secret corporations that control the world, but there's no department stores out there with their names on 'em.

Here's some ideas:
  • Glass cases - jewelry, perfumes, watches, guns, whatever- set 'em up and then fill them; likely could use angled, straight, and round sections
  • Clothing racks - round, cross-shaped, and I-shaped versions, with varying amounts of clothing
  • Escalators - mostly just a matter of textures though a dynamic prop would be amusing
  • Wall racks - particularly freestanding wall sections with merchandise on rows of hooks
  • Soundscapes - The light, jazzy blues sort that goes on forever in elevators
  • Doors - Elevator doors, glass doors, revolving doors...
  • Merchandise - power tools, things in bottles, things in spray bottles, things in boxes, action figures of our nine classes, and so on- anything you can think of
  • Groceries - Same thing here, only fruits, vegetables, meat, and various salty (or frozen) snack foods
  • Cash Register - with several skins
  • Signs - Half off, Sale!, Clearance!, Only ___ Shopping Days Til Christmas, and so on

Drat. I guess that explains the problem I've been having then.

So much for building indoor areas that are effectively inside skybox constructs.
