The blockbuster transmedia experience The Bane of Yoto, by Joshua Viola, is now available to millions of subscribers for the Nvidia Tegra platform for Android. The app is based on Viola’s four-time award-winning novel of the same name, recently released by film, video game and TV licensing record label and music publisher FiXT.

“I’ve been waiting and waiting to release to Nvidia’s

Tegra market. We’ve had to keep quiet about it for some time,” Viola says. “The Tegra audience consists of more hardcore consumers than most other markets. 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.”

Formerly a professor of Game Art and Design, and now art director for Leviathan Games, Viola’s astounding perception is unmistakable in this perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy that comes together in a breakneck paced, action-packed plot where dynamic, fully-developed original characters battle for their very existence in a brutal world.

“I personally was never impressed with comic apps I’d installed,” he says. “They didn’t work, in my opinion. So I wanted to approach that world in a different, revolutionary way. Dreamotion was our answer to that problem.” Dreamotion™ is Viola’s name for the process of taking numerous layers of traditionally generated 2D illustrations and artwork and then bringing them to life in a fully-responsive 3D world.

“It’s all responsive to movement,” Viola continues. “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.”

Drawing rave reviews for its originality and vision, The Bane of Yoto has won awards from the 2012 New York Book Festival, the 2012 Hollywood Book Festival, and winner for the Science Fiction category at the 2012 Halloween Book Festival. This is the first installment in a trilogy of science-fantasy novels by Joshua Viola. DC and Marvel comic book artists Tyler Kirkham, Nick Runge, and Steve Scott are responsible for some of the stunning visuals. FiXT, the publisher, is owned by cyber-rocker Klayton of Celldweller, who also provided the music. His work has been featured in such films as “Iron Man 2,” “Spiderman 2,” “Ghost Rider 2,” “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” and more. The Bane of Yoto merchandise available ranges from PlayStation 3 Dynamic Themes, Sculptures and T-shirts, to posters and more, all available through FiXT.
