Firefly Online Game

First you wanted a Firefly movie, and then you got one (and hey, it was pretty good). Then you got a comic — actually several comics, plus a roleplaying game, plus a novelization of the movie. After that, you made your own documentary about the series, and then you went and made an unofficial sequel to the movie that made over $100,000 for five separate charities. How the heck, short of creator Joss Whedon himself announcing another Firefly movie or TV-quel, do you top any of that?Maybe the cast of the show reuniting, and not for another misty-eyed convention wingding, but as characters you’ll be able to interact with in Quantum Mechanix and Spark Plug Games’ upcoming Firefly Online, due out this summer for PC, Mac, iOS and Android?Okay, maybe that doesn’t top a series part deux, but then if you’re partial to games over TV shows or movies, perhaps it does.

And it’s really happening: (via Comic-Con, transpiring now through Sunday) that all of the original Firefly stars will reprise their roles in the game, including Alan Tudyk, which is significant if you’ve seen Serenity. In the game, players captain their own customizable ships, assemble crews, then create jobs for each other while playing through various narratives and exploring a universe with hundreds of visitable worlds.

Contents.Gameplay Players would have assumed the roles of captains, assembling crews, completing missions, and trading with others. The game would have contained a central story alongside various branching stories, and players might have been able to create jobs for each other to complete. Players would have been able to customize their ships while playing, and view 'in-universe guides' around planets which provide information on them.

Firefly Universe Online was the name of the unofficial game developed by DarkCryo, which Joss Whedon was aware of. But in 2013 at the San Diago Comic-Con, the official online game based in the Firefly universe was announced for iOS and Android, and eventually Windows and Linux, developed by QMx Interactive and Spark Plug Games.

Furthermore, both space and planetary environments were planned to exist. The game would have contained over 200 worlds to visit. Players would have been able to assemble a crew, needing to choose crew members who possess the skills and abilities they need, such as engineering or weaponry skills. Development Prior to the announcement of an official title, a fan made game titled Firefly Universe Online was being developed by DarkCryo.
