Maretind



Maretind (working title) is a interactive media project currently in preproduction.

The Maretind project is a gothic underwater computer game for kids that aims to bring the fantastic, yet largely unknown, life of the deep ocean ridges to life, in a setting that mixes fascinating facts with an engaging story of humor, absurdity and gothic chill. The preproduction team was put together of game developers, script writers, visual artists, programmers and science consultants.

The concept is set to manifest itself through a range of media channels. In the pipeline is a multiplayer racing computer game, an animated tv-series, and a major science centre installation.

Jon worked as lead concept developer and game designer on the project’s preproduction phase, outlining the overall setting and expression of the Maretind world, the framework story, the characters and the gameplay for the scalable computer game production, as well as outlining the main interplay between the storylines of the different media channels.
