<p>At GDC 2019 earlier this year, Insomniac’s David Santiago gave attendees a behind-the-scenes look at the open world pipeline of <em>Marvel’s Spider-Man</em>, showcasing how each procedural system was originally designed to support iterations and dependencies.</p>
<p>Of course, the reality of producing a “procedurally-authored open world” that also looks like real-life Manhattan provided a larger set of tasks than the team had anticipated. 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) Santiago explained how the anticipated and unforeseen challenges became success stories and have laid a road-map for future projects.</p>
