Tapjoy has announced the latest developer to participate in its $5 million Android Developer Fund: Austin start-up Digital Harmony Games. Digital Harmony was co-founded in June of this year by CEO Jeff Lujan and COO Keren Kang, formerly of Ingition-owned True Games Interactive. Both were part of the Faxion Online team, which saw significant layoffs in July. According to a statement from Digital Harmony, the studio will utilize Tapjoy's mobile advertising marketplace for its first, unannounced title. "We're thrilled to partner with Tapjoy, a proven leader in the mobile gaming space, to help expand our development platforms," said Kang in a statement. "Considering almost all the top-grossing mobile games utilize Tapjoy technology, we are in great company." Tapjoy launched its Android Fund back in June. The company has been on an executive hiring spree of late: in the last two months or so it has hired former PlayStation senior vice president Peter Dille as its new chief marketing officer, former Symbian VP Larry Perkin as its Asia-Pacific operations VP, and Veraz Networks exec Al Woods as CFO. The hires followed a $30 million funding round in July.
