Hello Fellow Racketeers!

This week, we'll check back in with Darren who's been working on getting Jimmy's streeet in the Bronx looking just right.

Day and Night

Part of keeping the Bronx real is having a true day/night cycle for Jimmy to navigate. Day and night lighting aren't only about asthetics, but also determine who is about/available to trade with and influences police presence. Importantly, the night lighting scheme is about conveying that maybe the streets aren't the safest after dark....

Similarly, the exterior of Shifty Adam's Bar needed to be a welcoming oasis in the night time, but still looking appropriate for the area. We think it looks just right!

Keep hustlin'
