History

Kelseus Ltd. was founded in 2000. It changed its company name to Antics Technologies in 2004.[2] The company grow steadily since its foundation, gaining employees and producing several versions of Antics3D up to version 5.

On November 28, 2008, the company's website at www.antics3d.com reported that the software was no longer available and no future versions were planned. The reason given was that the cost to develop and support the software had outstripped revenues.[3]
