Manila-Based Anino Joins FOG Studios' International Portfolio of Clients

MEDIA RELEASE

FREDERICTON, CANADA - July 19, 2007- Anino Entertainment, the leading game development studio in the Philippines, has secured interactive entertainment agency FOG Studios for representation to outsourcing clients and game publishers worldwide. FOG Studios will help extend Anino Entertainment's products and services outside the South East Asian region by marketing Anino as a viable outsourcing and development partner.

"FOG has really increased our value as a game developer," said Niel Dagondon, president of Anino Entertainment. "Our products and services have reached key decision makers in some of the world's top tier publishers and developers. They have been a guiding light as we continue towards our goal of becoming the region's most prominent game developer. Developing our game studio as a viable business has never been easier. Because of FOG, we can concentrate on doing what we do best - develop games."

"FOG's extensive client list is matched by their helpfulness and service in getting Anino out there," said Anino producer Paraluman Cruz. "It's been raining projects since we have signed up with FOG and they have helped us every step of the way."

"We began quietly working with Anino earlier this year," says Ed Dille, CEO of FOG Studios. "They were exactly the type of developer and outsource provider client we look for, talented, capable, and poised to break out to the next level. The industry confirmed our selection of this client by awarding four different projects, both full development and outsourcing, in a matter of months. That is the kind of success story that needs to be shared widely in the independent game development community. FOG exists to help people who deserve to be successful achieve that success and we are proud to include Anino in that legacy."
