Netflix widens deal with 'Big Mouth' animation studio
Netflix is showering more affection on the teams involved with Big Mouth. The service has signed a "multi-year" deal with animation studio Titmouse to both create multiple adult animated shows and get a first crack at any similar series the studio produces. The two didn't hint at what would come next, but it's a big deal when Titmouse has also been involved with well-known productions like Venture Bros. and Metalocalypse.
Diablo 3 cartoon, care of Blizzard and Titmouse

First Seven Haunted Seas gameplay trailer
Earlier this year at E3, Titmouse Games held a shindig for the press to promote its upcoming undead pirate game, Seven Haunted Seas. The soiree even had its own pirate band. More relevant to gamers out there, the company also showed a gameplay trailer of the game -- once. It looks like Titmouse has finally decided to let the public see what the game is all about and, if you like undead pirates -- especially ones named Scurvy Pete -- you're probably in for a treat. However, if you've been waiting for Titmouse to announce a platform for the game, you're out of luck. The game is in the prototype stage, so there are a few rough spots in the video, but it's still looking good so far. Of course, it's hard to argue with a guy that has a Gatling gun for an arm. Check out the video after the break. [Via Destructoid]
Dethgame rocks out Q4 2009, Titmouse clarifies involvement
Hot on the heels of its revelation in the Wall Street Journal, Konami and Cartoon Network have officially announced Metalocalypse: Dethgame, the XBLA and PSN title based on the Metalocalypse television series. The press release sheds a few new details about the game, first and foremost that it's scheduled to release in Q4 2009. The game is set to the music of Dethklok, including songs from Dethklok: The Dethalbum and some from the upcoming Dethklok 2. The release also mentions that players will "Fight mutants, explore the rooms and dungeons of Mordhaus and protect the METAL faithful." Oh, and there are mini-games too. According to the show's creator, Brendon Small, Dethgame will be "the most successful downloadable cartoon death metal game in recorded history." Joystiq also reached out to Titmouse, the animation studio behind Metalocalypse, for clarification on why development was handed to Frozen Codebase and not Titmouse Games. Titmouse's Sam Schoemann informed us that planning for Dethgame began before the creation of Titmouse Games, though the animation studio has consulted on the project. He notes that one of Metalocalypse's directors, Jon Schnepp, and Titmouse creative director Antonio Canobbio, have "provided input and art direction" in order to "maintain consistency" with the series.

First screens of Titmouse's Seven Haunted Seas
click to enlARRRRRge When we first heard that the animation studio behind Metalocalypse was opening a game studio, we were, admittedly, quite intrigued. It's been a while since we heard anything from the folks at Titmouse, apart from sampling their taste in music at E3, of course. Now, we have the first actual screens from the studio's first game, Seven Haunted Seas, which is the story of an undead pirate by the name of Scurvy Pete. The screens were taken from a demo build -- Titmouse is currently shopping for publishers -- and depict Scurvy Pete aboard his pirate ship and sailing the seven seas, which we can only presume are haunted.We're digging the art style so far. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer to see it in motion.%Gallery-67635%
Titmouse brings a pirate band to its pirate paaaaarty
So, we were at an E3 shindig for Seven Haunted Seas at Titmouse Studios last night. Seven Haunted Seas is a pirate game, you see, and so Titmouse desired to hire a pirate band to play the party. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the Pirates Charles. The game wasn't actually there, incidentally. That's not important, though. Know why?Because there's a pirate band.
Metalocalypse creators open game studio, announce first title
Titmouse Inc., creators of Metalocalypse, today announced that it is opening a brand new game studio. The studio, appropriately named Titmouse Games, is already working on its first project. Titmouse Inc. executive producers Chris and Shannon Prynoski will serve as president and vice president of the studio, respectively. Aaron Habibipour, whose resume includes work on the Guitar Hero series, Darkwatch and GUN, will serve as creative director. The studio's debut project is a console action RPG titled Seven Haunted Seas. It's billed as "a dark comedic tale about an undead pirate, Scurvy Pete, that returns from hell to find a dark, post-apocalyptic future where he must right all his wrongs to restore the world." Wait a minute. A pirate -- who is also a zombie -- fighting to save the world in a post-apocalyptic future? Looks like Brütal Legend has some competition for best plot ever.
