Firefly the game
Friday, January 20, 2006

Oh, how I wish there was or will be a video game. I know others have thought the same, and assume still others must think it would be blasphemy. I specifically would like to see an MMORPG, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game for the uninitiated. Join a crew and fly with 'em. Pilot, Engineer, Doctor, or my personal favorite, Public Relations like Jayne. Do things your way, be they honorable or dis, or simply survive. Maybe even become a captain yourself someday, if so inclined. Run into THE crew once in a great while, hopefully on their good side.

Done right, it'd be one hell of a ride, and another great way of continuing the 'verse and it's stories for years to come.

has anyone thought about making a mod for vegastrike? vegastrike is the biggest opensource space sim out at the mo, and is getting ever bigger. And being opensource it should be easy to mod, for those that know wat they're doing. Plus its features at the moment, and features that they hope to add, pretty much cover already the ideas suggested just in a different 'verse.

Wow, I didn't expect so many responses so soon, but I should've. I'm glad to see there's so much interest in a Firefly game. I write editorials for a gaming review/news website, AdvancedMN.com, and my superiors have contacts with a number of developers (or at least their PR reps;). I'd like to ask my bosses to take the idea to a few of them, but I don't want to exactly go over anyone's head, i.e. Joss & Co.

JDubashi, great idea. Talk to Ritter and hook us up!

Sziki, I understand your point, but there's nothing that says there couldn't be multiple Firefly games. I'd play both a simple RPG and an MMORPG. The more Firefly the better.

Ritter, that's awesome! I'm no modder, but I'm definitely down to play it when it's ready.

Don, I don't have a cell-phone, but I'm gonna bug my friends who do, so I can check it out.

CaptBryan, I must say I wouldn't be as interested in an email RPG. A Firefly MMORPG could have rules built in which would prevent acts of retaliation or abuse. There's no rule that says players would have to be allowed to kill each other whenever they wanted. I'd like to think that a gaming community composed of Browncoats would be pretty cool, anyways.

Westy, I too would like to see in-depth character creation, and the ability to captain your own ship and set up deals. I'd even like ship customization as well, then we could see how shaky a Firefly is without the stabilizers. ;)

Zmann966, your proposition is very similar to what I had imagined. I'd love to play that game. I would like the ability to switch between first and third person at a whim, though, whether flying or on foot. Just so I could look at stuff in different ways. And we would definitely want browncoat involvement to make sure this game would be done right.

Kaneski, both those developers are definitely awesome. I'm currently pining for the release of Morrowind: Oblivion.

Tht's why im thinking wait a little bit and do it when I have control over the development process.

There are only 2 existing companies I'd trust with a proper Firefly SP RPG - Obsidian for a good story and a non-kill-last-bad-guy-to-win-game...ness. (Planescape) or Bethesta for a big world (Elder Scrolls).

Alright,
probably two more pages concerning life/death and how it would work and I'll release my script to ya guys..

since you dont seem to be giving me answers to whether to give it away for an earlier release or do it myself...

mmorpg...That would be great if everybody could keep up and not drop out and get all pissed off cause they got killed...

If it could be done like maybe by Email and you could send your moves to who ever is playin and they could have time to figure what needs ta be done...

Idunno the problem I have with online gameing is noone feels like they should follow what happens so they get all pissed off...then they set out ta get back at you for what ever reason...

I mean come on grow up or dont play.

JDubashi, there is a group of us currently working on a freelancer mod. If you are interested in joining us, contact myself at rtcherry(at)gmail.com or GodZero at danielnisi(at)gmail.com

There is also a post about it in the Firefly Universe forum.

Well im a bit drunk so excuse me... :) I think an mmorpg wouldnt be good cuz on this kind of games the story is secondary. A simple rpg would make much more sense in wich someone could tell a whole story and intruduce the verse...
But thats my opinion, I would be happy of any kind of game in the firefly universe... Keep on rollin... cya!
