Interactive Media
Onteca is an interactive media company that works with some of the most difficult emerging technologies in both the creative and digital sector.
Onteca was established in 2001, since that time we have produced interactive content for a wide range of clients including the BBC, AMD and John Moores University.
Our success is due to our work with innovative technologies and content development, and more importantly our staff whom have unparalleled experience and expertise.
One of our main aims here at Onteca is to work with a diverse range of communities in order to ensure that access to the fast paced world of digital media can be made available to all.
As a result of this we are particularity interested in the use of novel technologies to support learning across schools, communities and higher education institutions. Thus we actively experiment with new ways of training people in the most up-to-date technologies.
Our work and training practice is virtually unique, previous trainees now work for major computer game developers including Sony, Codemasters and Rare.
Consequently we have established a very close connection to the MA Digital Games at Liverpool John Moores University where our staff teach modules and co produce on the cutting edge Directed Digital Workshop element of the degree.
Our extensively developed commercial and artistic practice is used to inform and formulate our training. It is important we have this in order to provide a worthwhile learning experience for students ranging from school children to professional games producers. Here at Onteca we believe that having both commercial and creative credibility is essential.

Tales (from far away and the house next door)
A Culture Company event.
Stories from the past. Technology from the present. A whole new world!
'Tales' was a cross platform event for young people combining animation, drama, dance and film. Together with Toxteth Tv and a whole load of Merseyside schools, we created and modelled the world of 'Tales' and it rocked St Georges!
"Liberatis"
A Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO) designed by young people.
With the support of Mediabox, Onteca have worked for the last 5 months with 50 young people from all over Merseyside designing a MMO roleplaying game.
'In the beginning there was good magic and bad magic. The good magic and bad magic shaped the world and creativity flourished. It appeared that life was perfectly balanced. For a time men lived in peace until one corrupt man Evito Libertas used the powers of bad magic against creativity.
You are one of a few humanoid characters who have survived an earthquake and are moderately mutated but not corrupted. You will be sent on a ‘quest’ to retrieve ‘Gold pieces of Creativity’ from Mutants Bosses of each level to restore creativity and balance to the world and bring back it's freedom.'
