The Rise and Fall of The Flame in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
summary
A four‑mission optional arc is pitched as a 47‑slide pitch and takes three years to ship, adding a new cult enemy faction, an ally NPC Wraith with custom team‑up stealth rules, a boss fight that preserves an important NPC onstage, and Spiderbot innovations like jump jets and web‑pull puzzles. Development splits missions into separate 8–10 week milestones, creates lighting guides to fix comprehension, scales back complex puzzles, and delivers expensive set pieces (indoctrination loop, train derail) that mostly succeed under tight budget tradeoffs.
