The Story

The Koi Hotel was established 350 years ago by the city’s leading Yakuza clan. This exclusive establishment was a large residence, reserved primarily for the the clan, its associates and family members. 

The interior decor has gone through multiple facelifts over the years but the interior zen garden was maintained and touted as one of the most beautiful and tranquil locations in the city. 

While the Koi Hotel maintains its luxury status, it is nowadays open to the public. The hotel is frequented by corporate companymen (who utilize the premises for business dealings) and also long-stay, very affluent residents. 

Welcome to the Koi Hotel people. 

Design Notes

This cyberpunk battle map is one of the most colorful pieces I've drawn thus far. It was my way of experimentation and pushing the limits in terms of color harmony and mood. It is a very tricky thing to balance, let me tell you. 

I drew massive inspiration from Altered Carbon's Raven Hotel and then sprinkled bits from the Japanese-style hotel in Umbrella Academy's season 3. The rest of the stuff came from within.  

Map Chaining & Future Plans

The Koi Hotel chains currently chains together with the following maps: Skybridge and Yakuza HQ. There are two more maps that I plan to put out in the near term that will expand on this theme further - Yakuza Bathhouse and Japanese Gardens. Stay tuned for that.

I have a cool idea for and plan to expand on that zen garden and turn it into its very own battle map. You guys might really like this one if you're into the Yakuza and cyber samurai theme. 

Map Variants

There are 3 variants that come in this battle map pack. 

V2 - Seating Area

This variant replaces the center solid spiral gold statue (the Yakuza's symbol for universal wealth and harmony) with a double couch seating area. 

Samurai Guardians

I really enjoyed drawing these giant guardian statues. For your info, these statues stand about 8 ft tall. The initial design intention was to have a glass showcase of ancient cyber samurai armor types. However, these could also represent spiritual guardians or even better, cybernetic guardians that come to life when the Yakuza's safety is compromised. 

Samurai Guardians V2

This is the combination of the V2 map and the Samurai Guardians.

Thanks again everyone and please go vote on the recent poll if you haven't already. The poll will drive the future creation of maps.
