I\'ve added some official MechScape concept art provided very generously as an exclusive by Jagex to our gallery.

MSW staff were given a sneak peek (yes, there are perks to working for MechScape World) and this is some of the speculation we came up with:
  • So there are humans.
  • So there are computer-controlled vehicles
  • So there is lava.
  • So lava harvesting means there will be like mining of lava?
  • What is slag? In the UK it can mean the less valuable by-products of the coal mining/extraction process.
  • Hey, I see smoke! Where there\'s smoke, there\'s smoke effects
  • Oh my, it does appear to be hovering!

I must say it is brilliant artwork. Excited?

Note: If you are new to MechScape World then feel free to sign up and join the community (and post an introduction thread in the Community Affairs forum). The more members the merrier- also check out Jagex's MechScape Q&A for their statements on the game.

There should be more to come in the future smile.gif

Ren, stop poking on my patience dry.gif
It seems to have a lava vacuum that sucks it up.

very nice! And very nice of Jagex!

I would hazard a guess it's a form of fuel using the heat of the lava to propel our vehicle..... either that or it could be a production method, using the liquid stone to produce weapons and other stuff.

Very nice, the yellow thing at first just looked like an ordinary hovercraft, but when upright its actually a mecha of some kind.

This is absolutely, unimaginably, totally, and to the fullest extent--SICK! Now for the sake of speculation:
Which side is the front, and which is the back?
Would the things that create the smoke be used for propulsion, getting rid of smoke which is a byproduct of processing the lava on board, simply exhaust pipes, or something else?
The vehicle says "02." Does this hint towards... a team-based game?
On the top-left projection, there appears to be some sort of window. Does this mean that we will be able to use a first-person viewpoint?
I don't see any form of landing gear, so would this vehicle float all the time, or would there be special "harbors" for this (and possibly other) vehicle(s) to land? If it does float all the time, then... how? Where does it get an "infinite" amount of fuel?
The Lava Vacuum is connected to the back (or is it the front?) of the vehicle by a hose, where the Slag Hopper is located. Does this mean the lava gets processed on board? And... what would it get processed into, a material, fuel, food?
In the 3D image, but not in the 2D sketches there appears to be some sort of hook hanging off the back (or front?) from some ropes; what would this be for?

THANK YOU JAGEX! biggrin.gif
