Anas Abdin

Anas Abdin is a video game developer and a pixel artist. Abdin announced[1] that he would sue CBS for allegedly copying elements of his unreleased video game Tardigrades[1]. The game revolved around a giant tardigrade that facilitated interstellar space travel. The lawsuit was dismissed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield in September 2019 finding that the series and video game were not "substantially similar as a matter of law" and more into the Scènes à faire category.

Anas Abdin started game developing in 2011 with his first point and click adventure game "Anastronaut: The Moon Hopper"[5] using Adventure Game Studio. The game was well received Abdin created a sequel on 2014 "Anastronaut II: The Dark Side"[6] before announcing Tardigrades (formerly named Epoch)[7].

After losing the lawsuit against CBS, Abdin focused on pixel art and celebrated his success with major art galleries in Denver[8], Hong Kong[9], New York[10], Paris[11].
