About Us
We are Second Dimension Games, a small indie games team based in the UK. 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. Now it's 8 years later and we still really enjoy creating games over a weekend, having entered something into Ludum Dare for the past 19 competitions in a row!
At the start of 2018, we made the decision to take things slightly more seriously, and have now released our first commercial game Cherry Creek. We still only make games in our spare time, alongside our full-time jobs, so we're not expecting fame and fortune just yet. Our aim is to keep our commercial releases relatively small, but take the time we need to do them right. We're hoping to create a modest group of satisfied fans, and provide them with small interesting games for years to come.

Adam Summerton
Roles include development, game design, level design and music composition
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 manufacturing 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 baby daughter.

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
