GREE picks up Dino Life developer App Ant Studios

Japanese mobile-social gaming giant GREE has acquired App Ant Studios, the San Francisco-based developer behind the company’s casual-social title Dino Life. GREE did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.

App Ant Studios was formed just over 15 months ago, founded by four game industry veterans who had racked up stints at EA, Yahoo!, TinyCo and Storm8. According to the App Ant website, Dino Life was the company’s only completed game.  Under the terms of the acquisition, all App Ant employees will join GREE, with the company’s four co-founders taking up unspecified leadership roles in GREE’s engineering and game development teams.
