Joyful Nonviolent Videogames

Color and Music are the Main Focuses of Newt One and Its World

— March 18, 2018 — Tech
Newt One is a cute 3D platformer that tasks players with restoring a world through music and vibrant colors. The game takes on a nonviolent approach to gameplay and instead inundates players with joy. The goal is to restore color to the world and players can only accomplish this through music and positive action. The game is entirely non-linear and the experience the player has is controlled almost entirely by their actions. The player's actions will tie into the music as they repair the world and songs play in the area based on what the player is doing.

Newt One places players in the shoes of the titular character in a world that has gone cold and silent. Newt then decides to reinvigorate the world and must do so by navigating the world and picking up musical notes and other objects that brings back colors and life. As players progress through Newt One they will be able to enlist the help of the environment and can create new paths to travel on.
