Video: Procedurally creating Manhattan for Marvel’s Spider-Man

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="http://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/video-procedurally-creating-manhattan-for-marvels-spider-man.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>Efficiently managing the scope and implementation of procedural systems is tricky business, but Insomniac Games did just that during development of its 2018 open-world hit&nbsp;<em>Marvel’s Spider-Man</em>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>At GDC 2019 earlier this year, Insomniac’s David Santiago gave attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the&nbsp;open world pipeline of <em>Marvel’s Spider-Man</em>, showcasing how each procedural system was originally designed to support iterations&nbsp;and dependencies.</p>
<p>Of course, the reality of producing a “procedurally-authored open world” that also looks like real-life Manhattan&nbsp;provided a larger set of tasks than the team had anticipated.&nbsp;Insomniac’s resulting procedural systems were used to author, modify and monitor much more content than planned, and in his talk (now <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aw9uyj9MAE">available to watch for free</a> on the official GDC YouTube channel)&nbsp;Santiago explained how the anticipated and unforeseen challenges became success stories and have laid a road-map for future projects.</p>
<p>In addition to this presentation, the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.gdcvault.com/">GDC Vault</a>&nbsp;and its accompanying&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0JB7TSe49lg56u6qH8y_MQ/feed">YouTube channel</a>&nbsp;offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent&nbsp;<a href="http://www.gdconf.com/">Game Developers Conference events</a>, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.</p>
