MartianCraft is an American-based software company. The company has launched mobile and Mac apps such as Briefs and TouchPad. Rob Rhyne and Jeff LaMarche founded the company in 2009. The company has acquired a number of app-related companies including BitBQ, Dragon Forged Software and Zarra Studios.〔 ==History== MartianCraft's Briefs app was first discussed in 2010, following its development and submission to the Apple App Store. The app was quickly compared to other apps, such as Google Voice that have had their app under review for a number of months by Apple's review team. The app left MartianCraft's app in limbo for the foreseeable future. In 2013, MartianCraft launched their Briefs app. Briefs was initially launched as an iOS app in May 2013, and the tool was created for prototyping iOS apps. Macworld featured the app explaining that while the app wasn't for programming apps, explaining that it was therefore not a direct competitor to Apple's Xcode. At the time of release, Briefs was said to cost $199 and allowed the user to develop a working prototype of their app. MartianCraft was featured in Gizmodo, after they wrote on their blog about Apple's design changes when they launched OS X Yosemite. The analysis predominantly covered the icon changes Apple had made to their operating system. In February 2014, it was stated on Storify that the consultancy firm, Empirical Development were to merge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://storify.com/fretfulfas785/apple-donates-dollar-100-million-in-products-towar )〕 Following the announcement, one of the founders of Empirical Development featured in ''Fast Company'', discussing the legacy app updates for iOS7. Later that month, MartianCraft acquired BitBQ, who were in control of the TouchPad and NumPad apps.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://martiancraft.com/blog/2014/05/martiancraft-acquires-bitbq/ )〕 TouchPad was then redesigned for iOS7 in 2014. The redesign came on the popular app, which was acquired by MartianCraft years earlier. Later in 2014, MartianCraft acquired the Denver-based software developer, Dragon Forged Software, which was founded in 2004. The software company had primarily focused on developing Apple-based software before their acquisition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://martiancraft.com/blog/2014/10/martiancraft-acquires-dragonforged/ )〕 MartianCraft therefore took over the control of Slender, Resolve, and Trivium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://prmac.com/release-id-59908.htm )〕 The final acquisition of 2014, came when Zarra Studios was acquired by MartianCraft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.veooz.com/news/qHmrOfb.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MartianCraft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
