South Side grid streets

Generated from: Top-down pixel art layout of a South Side Chicago residential street grid, two intersecting one-lane roads lined with brick row houses and vacant lots, a rusted chain-link fence running east, a dumpster cluster mid-block providing cover, parked cars creating choke points, cracked grey pavement with pothole puddles reflecting amber streetlight, brownstone textures on buildings, muted palette of grey asphalt and rust brick and faded yellow lane markings, enemy spawn indicators at each street end, flat ninety-degree overhead view Drawn in this game's art direction: Top-down ninety-degree overhead pixel art, 16-bit chunky pixels, high-contrast stylised realism, hard-edged sprite outlines, flat perpendicular camera with no perspective tilt, limited palette per scene of four to six colours, strong shadow shapes from a single overhead light source, gritty urban texture on all surfaces, muted desaturated base tones punched up with one vivid accent colour per scene Everything is original: never draw or resemble characters, places or logos from existing games, films or brands (no red-capped plumbers, no famous mascots), even when the idea names one: take a named game's look and mood, never its characters, names or logos. No text, UI, HUD, logos or editor screens inside any image.
