The Bane Of Yoto: A Transmedia Experience Into A World of Cosmic Drama
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Denver, CO –
The Bane of Yoto by Joshua Viola is a transmedia experience that has it
all! This four-time award-winning epic novel is now available as a comic
App to millions of subscribers for the Nvidia Tegra platform for
Android. Published by film, video game and TV music publisher and label
FiXT, it features music by FiXT owner and cyber-rock artist Klayton of
Celldweller.
A perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy, The
Bane of Yoto’s action-packed plot keeps the adrenaline flowing at warp
speed to the very end with dynamic, fully-developed original characters
battling for their very existence in a brutal world.
Viola, art
director for Leviathan Games and former professor of Game Art and
Design, was “never impressed with comic apps I had installed.” Adding,
“In my opinion, they didn’t work. So I wanted to approach that world in a
different, revolutionary way.” And this visionary did just that with
Dreamotion™ – Viola’s name for the process of taking numerous layers of
traditionally generated 2D illustrations and artwork and bringing them
to life in a fully-responsive 3D world.
“Dreamotion was our answer
to that problem,” says Viola. “It’s all responsive to movement; when the
user rotates their device, the world comes to life. The characters on
screen animate and move as you are looking through every little detail
in 3D — and all without glasses.”
“The Tegra audience consists
of more hardcore consumers than most other markets,” says Viola.
“They’re looking for something with depth that they can really get into.
I think my comic App will allow them to do just that.”
While DC
and Marvel comic book artists Tyler Kirkham, Nick Runge, and Steve Scott
are responsible for some of the stunning visuals, the music was
provided by Klayton of Celldweller, whose work has been featured in such
films as “Iron Man 2,” “Spiderman 2,” “Ghost Rider 2,” “Mission
Impossible: Ghost Protocol” and more. Also available through FiXT is The
Bane of Yoto merchandise, with PlayStation 3 Dynamic Themes,
Sculptures, T-shirts, posters, and more.
Drawing rave reviews
for both originality and vision, The Bane of Yoto has won awards from
the 2012 New York Book Festival, the 2012 Hollywood Book Festival, and
was winner in the Science Fiction category at the 2012 Halloween Book
Festival. This is the first installment in a trilogy of science-fantasy
novels by Viola. For more information on this extraordinary novel and 3D
