Press release:
Together with independent developer DevNAri Utomik are proud to present their next Day One release: Newt One, a colorful, nonviolent 3D platformer with music that adapts to everything you do. The release is scheduled on Utomik, your unlimited play gaming subscription service for PC, on February 14th. After being the first to offer games on release day last October, we continue to focus on bringing newer games to the platform.

Utomik shifts the way players consume games. Our highly-curated library of titles offers a wide variety of genres, focused on discovering the unexpected. Get swept up by Newt One and awaken a world fallen to the Great Slumber. This nonviolent game rewards you for how much life you bring to the game world, not how much life you take from it. Perfect for even the littlest ones to enjoy. A game truly created to put a smile on people’s face.

“We believe subscription based games are the future and Utomik is at the forefront of this revolution. Since our game has a natural appeal to those with a soft spot for classic gaming with a modern aesthetic, Utomik’s users should feel right at home playing Newt One!” – developer DevNAri

It’s our mission to unleash gaming. We bring you a weekly growing library of 700+ hand-picked games. Get instant access to a varied collection of AAA classics, retro, indie, and family-friendly titles with Utomik’s smart download tech.

About Newt One:
You play as Newt, a new tone in a musical land that has fallen to the Great Slumber. Awakening this sleeping, silent world is Newt’s rite of passage. Restore your realm’s music, life, and color!

About DevNAri:
Although we met in graduate school, it wasn’t until we were both on the Game Design and Development faculty at Brown College that we started melding our skills and building our friendship. After a bit, Dev left for Phoenix AZ, Burlington VT, Sarasota FL, and Los Angeles CA – teaching games and working on projects in related fields like augmented reality, mobile apps, and web development. Meanwhile, Ari took over the Game department at Brown and eventually moved on to be a 3D artist at Axonom.

Late in 2015 Ari posted something about wanting to make a game while Dev was experimenting with interactive sound systems. The time was right and a partnership was born. A couple years later, we’re about to release Newt One – our first product.
