Mech Mice Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12 – Pestilence
If evil made a sound, this was it. The hum grew steadily louder with each passing second, haunting the ears with its eerie tone then boring its way into Ziro’s skull and threatening to drive the mouse insane. At times he felt the ground itself tremble in anticipation of what was to come. Every instinct told him to run but he froze. Then darkness filled the air.
Ziro turned his fearful eyes skyward and watched as a swarm of enormous flying beetles roared overhead. The squad covered their ears and exchanged nervous glances as they waited for the airborne threat to pass by, but it never did. The deafening roar of the intruders wings stayed near. Too near.
Peering through the treeline, Ziro observed the swarm had come to a hovering stop just above the open field near the Liwan village. By quick count, there appeared to be twenty-five, maybe thirty of the huge beetles.

Random Cool Mech Mice Logo

Hey there snails, today I was really bored. So I went on my Paint.NET, and just played around on it. I put the Mech Mice logo in there, and just did a random thing to it. I added the Cloud feature to it, and put it on Difference.
This is what came out:

It's kind of funny how I did just some random things to it, and came out looking like it was made by an expert.
I'm not really sure if this is close to MM though, it looks a little dark and evil. Rsnail doesn't see MM this way, I believe.
Anyways see ya later!

Mech Mice Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11 – The Path to Liwa
“Get it away from me,” screamed Streak. “Get it off!”
Ziro’s blood froze as he jolted awake in a hurry. His sleep had been light, plagued with nightmares of a one-footed owl and a red-eyed shadow chasing him through the woods. He shook his head and sat up, half expecting to come face to face with some kind of horrendous creature invading their camp. Instead, under morning’s first light, he saw Streak, running around the smouldering campfire being pestered by a furry white moth, with bright orange eyes. The fluttering creature kept following him around as he scurried about, colliding into his head.
“Get a grip, kid,” said Magenta as she woke to the chaos. “It’s only a moth.”
“Yeah, but it’s bugging me,” Streak complained. “Make it stop! I hate moths.”
“Really? I think she kinda likes you,” Ziro chuckled.
“Demo, help…please!” Streak begged, realizing Magenta and Ziro were enjoying his predicament far too much.
“No can do, buddy,” Demo said. “Who am I to get in the way of love? You’ll have to figure this out on your own.”
“Not funny, guys,” Streak frowned and swung his paw spasticly overhead, shewing the critter away temporarily.

RocketSnail/Mech Mice Update

Hey there snails, rsnail just posted an update on the RSG blog. He including a picture of a 3D room sculpted room, made by the newest member: Andrew.

Above is one of the rooms we'll be able to enter, in Mech Mice. It's the simulator room from Chapter 2 in the Mech Mice story.
Rsnail also said this:


The RocketSnail team continues to work on Mech Mice.
The Miller Brothers just got back from Andorra. During the flight they wrote the final chapter of the Mech Mice story (The book is almost finished). Cale just got back from CTN Expo in Burbank California. Did you stop by and get your free Mech Mice postcards? Screenhog composed more music, and spent some time researching Unity shaders. Andrew continues to model the Mech Mice universe. (See above). I spent the week in New Zealand speaking at AnimFX and touring Oktober Animation.
Follow us on twitter for more details

I'd like to hear the music that Screenhog composed, and lot of others do too. We'll all be able to play Mech Mice in 2013, so be patient.
See ya later.
