NPC Glow-Up Month: Thanks to You! | HFW

This past month I finally had the chance to slow down on the heavy technical grind and focus on something fun: giving Horizon Forbidden West’s NPCs the glow-ups they secretly (and not so secretly) needed.

• Zo traded bulky armor for breezy tropical vibes.

• Varl discovered the magic of tactical ventilation.

• Beta got a face refresh and lighter gear—no more “cauldron hangover.”

• GAIA ditched grandma’s curtains for swimsuit goddess energy.

Normally, projects like these get pushed aside by bigger, more demanding work. But this month I was able to dedicate time to these reworks because of the generous support from my Patrons. Your backing gave me the freedom to experiment, polish, and release these playful mods without worrying about the clock.

Instead of me pretending to be some lone fashion guru of the apocalypse, let’s be real: these glow‑ups only happened because you, my Patrons, kept the lights on and the coffee flowing. Without your support, Zo would still be stuck in armor, Varl would still be sweating in silence, Beta would still look like she pulled an all‑nighter in a cauldron, and GAIA… well, she’d still be rocking grandma’s curtains.

So thank you for making it possible for me to spend this month tinkering, laughing, and releasing these free projects. You’re the true MVPs of this apocalypse runway show, and I couldn’t have done it without you.
