Titmouse makes games. I wasn’t aware of that factoid until this afternoon, when I came across Titmouse’s press release leading off with the statement “We Make Games.” Just to be clear: today, Titmouse announced the creation of Titmouse Games, a games studio that makes games.
If you’ve ever watched Metalocalypse, cheated for Achievements in Avatar: The Last Airbender, or slashed dudes in Afro Samurai, you’re familiar with Titmouse -- they did the animation for all of those properties.
Titmouse's first project as a studio looks tasty. It’s an RPG called Seven Haunted Seas, and you can view the newly released teaser trailer at the game’s official Web site. As you may already suspect, the visuals are dripping with personality and vigor. The story isn’t a slouch either -- you play as a hardcore pirate who has been punished by the gods for challenging them. The punishment is death, but as the trailer’s narrator concludes: “... there is redemption. You will have to claw your way through the hell you created for yourself to the one you created on the Earth.”
I’m excited for it. Any opportunity to be a zombie pirate is a blessed one. Way to go after my heart, Titmouse.

Quite frankly, they've been around the block more than one.
On a side note, NVGR, I wonder if Titmouse is almost done in making Season 3 of Metalocalypse.
Ah yea.......

Alright, so the trailer has piqued my interest. Seven Haunted Seas is now officially on my radar.
*snicker*
I love metalocalypse so this sounds great.
I love the animation, Here's a neat little tidbit, it's all done in flash.
It started because one guy got it in his head that for some reason you win if you say Titmouse first when Metalocalypse ends. But we got tired of that so we just started Titmousing at random times and winning. It drove him nuts and that is the only reason it stuck. But since we have spread it to Adams County Jail, Phillip's Ranch CA, and Oklahoma.
