METROPOLIS begins with a simple idea: a city should feel like somewhere you want to stay. The ambition is a New York-inspired Roblox experience where architecture gives the world its character and players bring it to life.

Our visual direction is built around quiet contrasts. Dark stone and warm interiors. An energetic street and the calm of a residence above it. Public spaces with a sense of occasion, and smaller places that make everyday routines feel personal.
