An image showing my fursona.

My fursona. Art by PineapplePickles.

If you hadn't figured already, I hail from the UK, England. And yes, I do fulfil the stereotype of consuming lots of tea. These days I'm living with my partner and our cat in a small village in the South East, surrounded by elderly folk and sheep.

I'm heavily into data preservation (particularly around games) and run a site called TalonBrave.info, which is named after a character that was to feature in a game you may have heard of called Prey. The site is a bit of a branching spider, with other associated projects and sites, such as The Data Dungeon. I've dumped quite a few different pieces of software over the years, many of which can be found on the Internet Archive.

Reverse engineering various file formats and games is also a big hobby of mine (you can find some of my work published on both TalonBrave.info, and here).

Besides computers, I also love to write, whenever I get the chance and motivation to do so. For a long time now, I've been gradually fleshing out my own fantasy universe, though who knows if it'll actually go anywhere.

Finally, I sometimes produce music though it's completely for my own pleasure and something that I'm not doing as often as I used to, sadly - creative blocks suck. If you're interested, you can find my SoundCloud here.

Portfolio

Below is a list of various projects I've worked on over the years. 

It's a little awkward putting a range on some of these, as it doesn't necessarily mean I worked on the project continually for that long or that I'd completely stopped at that point, but hopefully gives a rough idea of how long it was a focus for.

* = There's an official remake of Hogs of War currently in the works, and I've stated that I'll take my hands off my own project until I know what's going on with that, as it's basically aiming to do what I'd wanted to do anyway. Depending on how the release goes, I might or might not revive the project.

Gaming

This list is likely incomplete. I've tried to sort it from latest to oldest, but of course my memory gets a bit hazy when it comes to the older lot.

I'm always looking for people to play games with! My PlayStation username is hogsy_ and on Steam you can find me as just hogsy.

2025

I've had a bit less energy this year, so ended up playing games a lot more. Also went back to playing a lot of games on the PlayStation 3, just because.

Anime Watched

Here's a list of various anime shows I've watched over the years. They're listed here partly for my own convenience so I can track what I've seen, and whether I'd enjoyed it or not.
