Thx for the posts 💕 Good points re: Alva/Zo/Petra, but their (partially) oppositional stances to their tribes provided hooks that made it easier. Beta and Seyka were hardest bc of their importance to Aloy. We didn't do a perfect job but we sure tried hard! #HorizonForbiddenWest #HorizonZeroDawn

Love this. Great shots. I'm curious - which of these characters do you think was hardest to write/edit? (Not counting Aloy.) #HorizonZeroDawn #HorizonForbiddenWest

Amazing shot! Reminds me of one of the poems Demeter referenced in #HorizonZeroDawn: Watching the river through a window of trees... spring rain falls --Kobayashi Issa #HorizonForbiddenWest

This is so freakin' awesome. It's like my childhood on two shelves. I must have read A Tolkien Bestiary, in the lower left, a thousand times. Goes without saying that Tolkien is a huge influence on #HorizonZeroDawn and #HorizonForbiddenWest. (And all sci-fi/fantasy games!) Bravo. #booksky

Great pics! Working on Tilda's bunker was one of my favorite experiences of #HorizonForbiddenWest. If you ever in Amsterdam, you can see the actual pieces at the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social.

That spot went through many troublesome iterations during development. It's great to see it looking so vivid!

This reminds me of some early concept art for HZD that I loved. Great shot! #HorizonForbiddenWest
