Mazermind is a tool particularly developed and designed for those working with interactive and narrative multimedia productions. The application offers many new features and benefits in comparison to traditional word processors and other scripting tools:

One main advantage using Mazermind is that you easily can organize your text reflecting what type of text you are writing. Further, common concepts like characters, areas and situations are handled as objects and you can therefore describe them separately.

You can write on different levels, in overview or detail, and without concerns about what you´ve already written or not. Mazermind is flexible enough to work independently of whether your script is areabased, scenebased or dialoguebased.

You can organize the content of your script in four different windows, each window focusing on different aspects of your script. Every window allows you to see a tree view over your created objects, so you can sort them in your own choice of hierarchy and plan your script on all levels.

You can explore every object in a detailed view where attributes, descriptions, parts and associated objects are listed. This is a quick and simple way to check how and if things are linked, which gives you more control and better error detection.

Mazermind lets you link together objects like characters with their dialogue lines, items with their owners, situations with media references etc. using simple drag´n´drop.

You can now quickly create and view dependencies, associations and courses of events with conditions and consequences. At the same time as you link objects together Mazermind automatically enhances the navigation through your script.

You can make simple maps containing a selection of those areas and places you have created and see paths between them.
Situations can also be represented in graphs where the flow of action and events build a web.

Writing with Mazermind gives you the unique opportunity to make more advanced searches for content in your script.
To name some examples you can find loose ends, dialogue lines where a special word is mentioned and character descriptions containing a specific phrase.

When finished, you can export your script to other formats for different areas of use.

Exporting it to MS Word gives you the possibility to print parts of your script, perhaps for spell checking.
You can also see what your script would look like as a text prototype of the production by converting it to web pages – excellent for testing purpose!
Finally you can export your script to XML, a flexible format that can be used for example extraction of information into a game engine.

With Mazermind it is possible for a team of people to read and write in the same script at the same time. By checking in and out objects you don´t have to worry over different versions of the script or that someone overwrites your text.
Your communication with each other will be simplified when all in the team sees the same text and descriptions.
