Looking for inspiration help! If MM was a place, what kind of places/buildings would exist here? MM related places, buildings, monuments etc. Your own buildings are welcome!

On top of my head:
- MM HQ/great hall
- MBR HQ
- Maple Museum

Thanks in advance!

I like the idea of a building/facility dedicated to MBRs; you mentioned an HQ here, and on the forums it's stated to be a colosseum. I interpreted it to be a lab in my upcoming MBR, but there are a lot of ways you could visualize this as an interesting location.

Different buildings representing different forums and/or discord channels could also make sense, e.g. museum of spriting (or maybe it's a modelling agency if we're talking about characters), theatre of animations, maybe a high-security bank containing all the resources, bookstore for comics, airport with maps as different tourism locations, etc etc.

And then just common areas where people socialize, maybe a park, mess hall, dormitory or something else similar.

I like the idea of having locations for the different teams. This could represent the actual animators, or their characters. If it’s the characters, maybe it’s a dojo/gym for those into fighting animations. Maybe a comedy club? Or maybe a big open area for folks into the big DBZ style fights.

Spriting teams could include salons, makeup/hairdressers, clothing stores/boutiques, etc.
They could have blacksmiths and armorers to represent custom weapons and armor.

The mods just have an actual office building, and/or a security room with cameras that watch over the threads/discord server.

Maybe some locations could even match the different areas of the discord server? Quiet calls/streams are just like projected movies at a park/drive in theater.

I like the idea of a school or classroom existing, where newer people submit their work and get feedback.

Just some ideas off the top of my head!

To represent MMVs, I feel you could have some sort of Hollywood/Film studio as a setting

Since MM is very focused on action animation, a maple colosseum, some type of amphitheatre, or even over the top dojo. Leptis Magna, Circus Maximus
