Hey

, I'm Adam Riches and I've been an artist/animator in the games industry for about 4 years now. During that time I've had the amazing opportunity to work on a few things you might've heard of! 💕
Cool!
@IVSoftware
(indie legends behind Prison Architect) just announced a space game, and I nearly spat my tea out when I saw the placeholder space men sprites they were using...👀
I forgot to share some work in progress from the point and click adventure game I was working on earlier in the year. In this short game you crash your ship at an intergalactic rest stop..

Shoutout to
@PeanutButterGmr
& crew for their
#Starbound
HC series! Really fun watching you have a blast & discovering the game as you go. When you work on a game, its rare to experience it in the same way. Watch out for fall damage! 💕
This is gonna be a niche tweet but in 2009 I did a big graphical overhaul of a lil 2D space game called Space Station 13. Thought i'd have a little fun seeing what it might look like with 10+ years of pixel arting practice.
Update:
@IVSoftware
have not only apologised but worked hard this morning to make things right, and I'm happy to say that we've both reached an agreement where both parties are satisfied. All is good, everyone! ✨
