Horizon Forbidden West

The sequel to 2017's critically acclaimed Horizon Zero Dawn, developed using Guerrilla Games' in-house DECIMA game engine.

I was involved with further advancements of DECIMA's visual scripting and Animation Graph systems, as well as the development of a new Surface Shader Graph system. In 2025, I presented some of this work in the talk 'Nodes and Native Code' at GDC, Game Access, and devcom.

The game won the BAFTA Games Award for Technical Achievement in 2023.
