Embedded Files
We were Second Dimension Games, a small indie games team based in the UK. We are mostly inactive these days, but still keep all our frees games running for anyone to play, and may return one day as a solo dev project.
The 3 of us initially joined forces back in 2012, with the aim of entering a few game jams to see if we were any good at it. We kept making games in our spare time, alongside our full-time jobs, and 8 years later we had entered 30 game jam competitions, and released a small commercial game on Steam!
As for many people, the year 2020 changed our lives and perspectives, and we decided to go our separate ways and focus on other things. We remain friends are are still very proud of everything we made together.
Original Line-Up
Adam Summerton
Adam is the founder of Second Dimension Games, but not the leader. Due to the confusion of having 2 Adam's in the team, he is often referred to by his exotic middle name Edge. He is in charge of the main game development, as well as writing the music and handling the audio in general. He enjoys listening to and creating music, and initially started making games as an excuse to record some chiptune tracks. Since beginning the journey in development, he has found it more and more enjoyable, and now works full time in the software industry. He enjoys playing video games when he can, but barely has the time alongside a full time career, a young family and various other hobbies.
Some of Adam's favourite games are:
Night in the Woods, Life is Strange, Mass Effect, Firewatch, Kentucky Route Zero, What Remains of Edith Finch & The Last of Us
Some of Adam's non-gaming interests are:
Books by Iain Banks, Robin Hobb, Neil Gaiman, Joe Abercrombie or George RR Martin. The music of Wild Beasts, Arcade Fire, The National, Lambchop and Frightened Rabbit. Aquariums & keeping tropical fish. Spending time with his daughter.
James Crossley
James is an artist and trained illustrator, with a skill for interesting character designs. He is currently learning to translate his painting and drawing skills to digital art and sprites. Providing animation assets for Second Dimension Games, he has slowly become an adequate animator. With a love for all things mechanical, both in games and real-life. He proved this when customising and improving his gaming PC, which is now partly made from Lego.
He works full time as a photographer and graphic designer, and spends his evenings pretending to be in Ghost, whilst making beautiful pottery.
Some of James's favourite games are: Kentucky Route Zero, Firewatch, Gone Home, Portal 1 & 2, Red Dead Redemption and his child hood favourite, Wonder boy: The Dragons Trap.
Some of James's non-gaming interests are: Reading, especially sci fi. Music by British Sea Power, The National, Sufjan Stevens , Beirut and Belle and Sebastian. Art and drawing, plus his beloved pottery.
Adam Duncan
Adam is a trained artist as well as an experienced web developer. Being responsible for a lot of the environment art, he once complained that he was spending too much time drawing mud and dirt, but he loves it really. With his development experience he also assists with development and has taken the lead on a few projects.
He works full time at a charity doing website maintenance, development and digital marketing. He is the go-to guy for advice on maths and building websites.
Some of Adam's favourite games are:
System Shock 2 & BioShock, Syndicate, ADOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Heroes of Might & Magic 3, Endless Legend, complex boardgames that he rarely gets a chance to play
Some of Adam's non-gaming interests are:
