Firefly Online is a strategic role-playing video game in development by Spark Plug Games and Quantum Mechanix for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android based on the Firefly franchise.[1]

Gameplay

Players assume the roles of spaceship captains, assembling crews, completing missions, and trading with others.[2][3] The game will contain a central story alongside various branching stories, and players will be able to create jobs for each other to complete.[4] Players will be able to customize their ships while playing,[3][5] and view "in-universe guides" around planets which provide information on them.[4] Furthermore, both space and planetary environments will exist.[3] The game will contain over 200 worlds to visit.[6] Players will assemble a crew, and will need to choose crew members who possess the skills and abilities they need, such as engineering or weaponry skills.[6]

Development

Prior to the announcement of an official title, a fan made game titled Firefly Universe Online was being developed by DarkCryo.[7] Fox gave their well wishes to the game,[7] but the development studio ceased development on the game following the announcement of the official release based on the Firefly franchise.[8] Firefly Online was announced at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con as being released on iOS and Android.[2][9] It was later announced for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS.[10][11] QMx Interactive joined Spark Plug Games to produce the game.[2] Joss Whedon, creator of the series, is not involved with the development of the game but is aware of it.[4] The development team is planning to add future downloadable content which may include the ability to switch to the Alliance faction,[4] inclusion of "Reavers",[4] and is aiming to include cross-platform functionality.[3] The PC versions will be distributed via Steam.[12]

Gameplay of Firefly Online was shown at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con.[13] At that Comic Con it was announced that the original TV series cast will voice their in-game characters, along with a number of cast from the series.[14] Wil Wheaton will be providing the male voice for the player's avatar.[15]
