Anino Games is a Philippine third-party game developer for different platforms founded by Niel Nagondon who is often acknowledged as the pioneer of the gaming industry in the Philippines.[2] It is composed of two sister companies – Anino Entertainment, which focuses on PC, console, and virtual reality games, and Anino Mobile, which develops mobile games. The company takes its name from anino, a Tagalog word meaning "shadow".
Anino is often credited to be the first game development company in the Philippines.[3] Among their award-winning original IPs are Anito: Defend a Land Enraged (IGF 2004), Anima Wars (IMGA 2006), Anito: Tersiago’s Wrath (Nokia Series60 challenge, Singapore 2003), Deep Interactive Pursuit (Best Casual Game nominee, IMGA 2007), and Word Archery (Indie Game Showcase 2007).
Anino Games is now known as Anino Inc. It currently focuses on developing a range of Social Casino Slots for mobile and PC.[4]
In August 2014, Anino Games was acquired by Bangkok-based developer Pocket PlayLab and was renamed as Anino PlayLab.[5]
