Become a sponsor to Mark Sowden
Hi there!
I'm "hogsy", aka Mark Sowden - based in the UK, England. Primarily working to preserve video game history through TalonBrave.info and other initiatives.
These initiatives include open-source projects for the community such as OpenHoW, a reimplementation of the classic Hogs of War game that was originally released for PC and PSX, and Invasion, a recreation of Valve's cancelled Team Fortress 2 iteration from 2003.
Beyond that, I also do reverse-engineering for various games on the side and document my work. A few examples of which I've provided below.
- The unseen animations of Into the Shadows
- Triton’s HDV model format
- Exploring the deep, with Bullfrog’s Creation
- Sentient Textures
- Dark Vengeance Extraction Utility
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to chat! I'm available on Twitter, Discord (hogsy#9210) or via email.
With this amount, I could dedicate all my time to TalonBrave.info, OpenHoW and other open-source projects.
