He then later worked at Tiertex. In 1989, he was hired by LucasArts, where he worked until 1999, mostly on Star Wars video games. Since 2000, he worked at Retro Studios, where he developed the camera system for the Metroid Prime Trilogy and was senior engineer alongside David Kirsch. Haigh-Hutchinson died in Austin, Texas after suffering pancreatic cancer on January 15, 2008, at the age of 43. He is survived by a wife and two daughters. The credits in the Metroid Prime Trilogy versions of Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption now have a dedication to him.
