Various Municipal buildings (Police, Fire, Town Hall etc)

Small Accessory Assets:
City utilities (fire hydrants, power poles, ground transformers etc)
Fencing
Trees, shrubs, scrub grass and bushes
Trash, ground waste, rubble piles, broken glass shard (scatter tool assets)
Street signs
City name sign falling apart (editable)
Small decals like foreclosure notice, Do Not Enter tape, condemned notice, grafitti
Would work for so many genres .. dystopian, sci-fi, horror, Americana

Love this idea! I am getting "The Hills Have Eyes" kinda vibe from this kit. Out of all the ideas you posted, which ones would you be the most excited about getting in a kit like this?

Michael Reese: those kitschy tourist traps that sell alien keychains, or curiosity museums that claim to have bigfoot on display, ancient gas stations

Michael Reese: Hey Michael, sorry to get back late to the party. Benji Teurman & Lasse Bauer have some good big picture ideas, but if you're looking for specifics from my above list:
Main Buildings:
Derelict Gas Station
Truck Stop Diner
Strip Mall-style 2-floor Motel (10 rooms max)
Corner Store - Gun Shop
Secondary Buildings:
Mobile home park homes (colour options accessible in materials)
RVs & Camping trailers (2 of each, different sizes, 80's era)
Local AM/FM Radio Station building w/ transmission tower
Honky Tonk type bar (small, for the trailer park)
Vehicles: (abandoned/wrecked):
American muscle cars (70's-80's)
Ford/Chevy Pick ups (60's-80's)
Motorcycles
Golf carts (don't know why, but seems 'Americana')
Scatter & Environment:
Concrete road divider slabs (yellow paint scratched, chipped)
Parking slabs (yellow paint worn off)
Telephone/Electrical poles
Payphone booth
Native Indian wood craved tabacco statue
Highway marker signs / Road signs
City limit sign w/ population counter (name customization in materials)
- 2 sided w/ "Now Entering" ~ "You're Leaving"
- sign peeling
Garbage (chip bags, paper refuse, cigarette packs etc)
scrub grass
tumble weeds
cactus and/or dying trees
tileable stretch of cracked, paved highway (Nice to have)
tileable stretch of dirt road (Nice to have)
Basically, the kind of place you would drive up on that's not even on a map and likely won't be there in 50 years. The buildings should have interiors too, not necessarily something you can walk into but if the camera were to pan through the window glass it would see seating in the diner, shelving in the store ... stuff like that. You guys are good with details.

Truckstops and gas stations. A snake farm like in Spielberg´s "The Duel".

Also those kitschy roadside tourist attractions and souvenir stores would be fun to see
