Well I'm a HUGE fan of Firefly, dispite not posting in here. But I've decided to combine my two addictions. FireFly, and a first person shooter game. It'll take a looooooooong while to complete since really all i have acomplished is the decision to go this route. My plans are to use a game engine not yet released to the public so that is one thing I'll have to wait for. For now I'll be designing Characters , Guns, Ships, all that fun stuff you see in a FPS. One thing I'll get to do aot of is to mull over how the game will be played. Sugestions are aprieciated.
Elements i wish to include (brain storming here)
Firefight of the aliance and the rebels..... a mission the depicts the war. details of each mission are endless but this would be a story including Zoe and Cap.
got to include some type of Reevers situation.
Possibly some flying of serenity, but depends on what this game engine will allow me to do.
My mind keeps going with all sorts of ideas, but you tell me yours first.

Better to make it a Half-Life mod. It's easier and more people will have the opportunity to play it. Perhaps some watered-down version (you can't do complicated things in a HL mod), and if/after you get that to work well you can move on to something more advanced (flying, conversations, independent missions, using your own/advanced game-engine, etc.)
Remember to ask permission for your project from FOX, AND YOU MUST HAVE THE WRITTEN VERSION OF IT. You have no idea how deep into lawshit you can sink if you don't do it by the book, believe me.

I'm definetly going with the Ghost Recon 2 engine. Allows for so much creativity. Well at least if its like the first one.
So.... whats the liklyhood i'd get permission and how does one go about it?

I have thought many times that a Firefly first person shooter type game would be fun. FPSs are a bit limited in what the character can do though, as Lalli pointed out about Half Life.

I wonder if Deus Ex is moddable. I mean, that would allow some pretty complex things for characters and for the game generally. Or you could simply do a multiplayer mod upon Battlefield: Vietnam with the battles of Serenity and that other place I forgot.

I've played Deus Ex mod, so its definately possible.
However, given how few mods for it there are, it can't be as easy as some other engines.

I'm working on a film called "Spaced Out" a comedy cartoon and at one point the character is singing "Ballad of Serenity".
I always thought that I didn't need permission if I didn't profit from the copyright infringement.
Please help, that scene is in the begining of the film and we're way past that.

I found some tools for that here.

Don't know how easy it is, but, it can be done

Profit does not matter in the eyes of the law. If you don't do it for profit, it might mean the owners wouldn't care as much about it though. Also note that parody is protected, so if it's actually a parody, you can do whatever you want, profit or no.

Oy, I can smell the papers now...
Dude, ANY infringement is punishable by law, regardless of your profit or lack thereof from it. You need permission no matter what, unless it never leaves your own home, and goes unseen by others in the world...
Also, I think you should try, instead of a FPS, perhaps a "Starcraft" strategy game... THAT would be cool, fighting on multiple fronts... make it the War of Unification!!!
