—Sean Horton on Metroid Prime Remastered[1] | ||
Sean Horton is an Environment Artist at Retro Studios. Having joined in 2004 for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, he has been involved with all of their projects, with the exception of the original Metroid Prime. He was a student of the Nintendo-funded DigiPen Institute of Technology, and obtained an internship at Retro alongside Ilya Nazarov and Quinn Smith for Echoes. Horton became a full-time artist for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Metroid Prime Remastered and Retro's subsequent games.
Matt Manchester said on his blog: "Icicles! Working with one of the particle artists, Sean Horton, I covered the ceiling of this room with icicles that are slowly dripping at their ends, in the eternal ebb and flow of temperature in this room between the portal to the frozen side of Bryyo on one side, and the sweltering heat of the Fire lands to the other side."
Horton and Manchester added some of the Metroid-related references into levels in Returns.[2] He continues to work for Retro as of September 2017, as a "level 4 artist".
