My deep dive into the character design, clothing, worldbuilding, and ambient dialogue of NPCs from Insomniac Games' Spider-Man (2018) and Spider-Man: Miles Morales (2020), after I spent a year watching and photographing NPCs.
Insomniac's take on Manhattan is filled with diverse faces, funny dialogue, and lively animations -- but what made it such a rewarding playground for this project was its robust photo mode. By pairing my findings with developer notes from interviews, GDC talks, and ArtStation, I try to pay tribute to their hard work on a breadth of cool details.
This video is excerpted from a longer deep dive into several games I photographed NPCs in. See below.
