June/July 2025 Condo Contest (Restaurants & Stores)

Hey everyone, its time for another Condo Contest!

:convenience_store: This time, we want you to share a build involving a restaurant or store! :convenience_store:

There’s a lot of ways to go with this one, so we’re excited to see what you guys do!

For restaurants: this includes cafes, bars, fast food places, pubs, sit-down restaurants, smoothie places, ice cream stores - anywhere that serves food or drinks.

For stores: again, it just has to be some kind of store- a grocery store, record store, furniture store, electronics store, convenience store, game store- whatever! If you want to make something like a salon or barber shop, auto shop, or other specialty shop, that works too!

And, feel free to have any combination of both if you want. The sample picture was made in one of the empty stores in the Resort Condo; so if you want to show off your Resort Condo or a similar mall-style build, go ahead! As long as the pictures are focusing on your store/restaurant interiors or exteriors, it fits the theme.

:information_source: Your submission can be a regular Condo or a Workshop Game World Map.

Side Street Shops

Steam profile: Steam Community :: The General Nobody Knew

Heavily based off the slight dreary yet comfy atmosphere Half Life 2 gives off, namely inspired by the Gmod Map Amsterville.

[FEATURE IMAGE]


Welcome to the Side Street Shops.

In every city, in every town, sometimes even on every block, there’s just a small set of shops, away from prying eyes. They don’t get as much customers as the ones right on main street, but the customers they do get are regulars, loyal to the brand, and they’re easier to care for. Occasionally a tourist or a young city explorer finds their way into these side shops, and finds reasonable deals from a plethora of personalities. Some people live in the side street, in small abodes above their respectful shops, but most make their home in other close apartments. Take a stroll around the side street, and you might become a regular yourself!

Selva Rey Jazz Lounge

This jazz club has a warm, vintage vibe with dark wood, velvet curtains, and soft chandelier lighting. A small stage framed by red drapes and a lion’s head sculpture features a grand piano and drum set, ready for live music. The atmosphere is elegant, moody, and timeless. Perfect for a night of jazz and classic cocktails.

This build contains no workshop items.

For this build, I really wanted to capture the essence of a small town in the south, specifically one you would stumble upon while driving along the highway on a road trip. A staple of rural areas is the random family-owned cafe or restaurant with a little gas station/rest-stop right next to it, usually converted from abandoned buildings. Also, for overall theming, I was going for a rainy fall day in October 1988, right before Halloween.

The Moonstone Cafe is based on Mikaela Reid, one of my favorite survivors from the game, Dead by Daylight. The logo, cafe name, and color scheme are based on her character, but beyond that, I took creative liberty. I wanted to capture that “weird” energy as much as possible, so I focused on aliens, cryptids, witchcraft, and generally spooky themes to decorate the cafe.

Rowdy Rex Fossil Fuels is a gas station that is completely original in its name and design. I simply wanted the theme to be.. dinosaurs!! Because dinosaurs are awesome.

This is my very own Waffle House! I tried to build it completely off reference to the best of my ability. I feel like I did at least a decent job. Some things are missing but I feel like got the core Waffle House experience. Enjoy.

So, in lieu of some preparation work for my return to streaming, as well as Community Condos, I’ve been working on overhauling the Studio section by section, Making improvements where I can and slimming down the usage of Workshop items wherever possible.

Part of this renovation work, coupled with the emergence of this contest, gave me the idea to build this:

Welcome, one and all, to…

The Bits and Bytes Cafe!

Carefully, tenderly, and lovingly Digi-patched right into the lobby of Prizma Theatre with my own two hands, the Bits and Bytes Cafe is a comfortable, relaxing spot to grab some food, a nice cup of joe, or one of our own specialty drink mixes, all with affordable prices that our competitors hate us for!




We look forward to your visits, and hope you’ll come by and relax a while, whether it be a show night, an Open House tour, or even if you’re just popping in to say hello!

Cafe Fuka is a heavy WIP. It is based off of a Cafe in Fukushima, JP. I hope you all enjoy. I am not too happy with how it turned out honestly. It has a long way to go. It’s aesthetics are inspired by PS3 games. Enjoy. Please visit to see it for yourself.
