Welcome to my profile!

I'm Mark Sowden, otherwise known as my alias 'hogsy' - based in the UK, England. I'm primarily working to preserve video game history through TalonBrave.info, The Data Dungeon and other initiatives. Also founder of a development group called OldTimes Software.

I've been involved in 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.

• Small Furry Creatures
• Triton’s HDV model format
• Exploring the deep, with Bullfrog’s Creation
• Dark Vengeance Extraction Utility

If you want to know more about me, I also have a personal blog here with a dedicated 'About Me' page here, feel free to check it out!

Contact me if you have any questions or just want to chat! I'm available on Twitter, Mastodon, Discord (hogsy#9210) or via email.
