The Quest for Shiretoko
Another Firefox 3.x beta means another action scene featuring everyone’s favorite open source robot. In this latest installment, our hero is somewhere in Japan, rapidly speeding towards Shiretoko National Park (and thus, the 3.1 release).
The robot himself wasn’t all that visible on the 3.1. beta 1 first run page – it was just a back view as he prepared to begin his journey – but as 3.1 is taking shape, so is the robot. His look has changed a bit, too…with the help of mecha artist Josh Burcham, he’s evolved into a style more appropriate for his Japanese surroundings (speaking of which, the scene was loosely based on this photo of Lake Ashi).
Stay tuned for more…in the meantime don’t forget to download Firefox 3.1 beta 2!
