Really surprised this hasn't been in any games yet. It would make an excellent CQC map.

You could probably recreate something similar in Rust with plugins and a huge building made of Armored walls where loot periodically respawned in the hallways.

Try Kowloon's Gate, it is set in the Kowloon Walled City, which is what you picture is.

Do you guys even game? Seriously.
>>
>>336943875
Even better: it focused on a supersized version of kowloon. In the Shadowrun Universe they tore down the original walled city and built an even bigger, shittier one.

And then they left some eldritch horror that feeds off negative emotions to fester in the center for a couple of decades.

Makes me wish they fleshed it out more in the game.

Read up about it. It was literally hell on earth, and the Hong Kong government had been meaning to get rid of it for a long, long time.

The high-rises it consisted of were also made by the residents themselves, meaning the construction quality was incredibly poor and posed possible danger to people, as it could crumble together at any time.

It only took so long for it to get removed, as so many people had to be relocated, and the fact that the police had no way to infiltrate for so many years.

If Kowloon is the favelas, you wouldn't want to be any of other China's cities.

The maker of that map was a Japanese I believe, he/she was interviewed by a mag ages ago.

Said the map was inspired by Kowloon's Gate, when the game itself was inspired by the Japanese conception of Kowloon Walled City.

The Triads run the place there, that's why. Honestly though, going by what the old generation said, the place is much safer than the rest of Hong Kong at that time.

Thieves don't operate inside because the Triads would chop their hands off if caught inside the walls.

It always interested me how criminal organizations do a lot good. Sure the U.S.'s Italian Mafia extorted money, killed people, etc. But they also were pivotal in their support of gay rights in the 70s. They brought Jazz to the U.S. by controlling the bars in New Orleans, and they also protected black business owners in NYC and Boston from racist demonstrators and criminals.
