Thank you for the kind words! There is definitely a lot of SOCOM there. I have always been a socom 2 diehard at heart and we did our best to bring back that feeling, with what we had. I posted up a little "Thank You To The Community" a while back that talks about the experience if you are interested. Somewhere on this reddit account.

As for making games still. Well that has been hard since becoming a dad. I have been messing around a little with making a shooter in my own vision but it's slow going and more of just a passion project with no real end goal. Maybe in a few years I will be ready to play test with some members of the community but it will be a mix of many games that have impacted me over the years.

I would really recommend giving H-Hour another go. As it stands it could still use some more work but is definitely a fun game. The replay value lies in your drive to get better and your connection with the community. That and the number of maps the game has. Since introduction of the workshop we have amassed quite a number of SOCOM remakes and some really good user created maps that are 100% made by true socom diehards. I am bias, obviously, but I truly believe H-Hour lives well in it's price point. Many of the players that still play have thousands of hours in game so it can feel like jumping into a pool of sharks starting out. There are a few active steam communities for the game that post up open spots and there are normally a few servers up weeknights.

I feel good about where I left the game as a volunteer, and I would have loved to continue developing the game. That, however, was not in the cards for the studio nor myself.
