Interesting, they have 3D modelers. And the modeling looks pretty good all considering.

They're currently trying to negotiate with the movers and shakers. The website is just a placeholder in case they get it.

The features page is a little sparse, though. Good to hear that it's really the Firefly verse with it's factions, and 5 star systems, but what I usually want to see are player classes and gameplay mechanics.

Still, something to keep an eye on. :)

Well that looks cool, but how on earth do they intend to avoid being shut down?

I get the feeling this is going to be one of those things that makes more and more awesome developments and then gets closed once it gains enough attention :(

Oh! Jolly good. How's that gonna work though, didn't they shut the first one down?
What are they going to do, get the rights to make it and do it entirely themselves? :O

Sounds like...

It may not be likely, but on the other hand, Qmx managed to secure a deal to merchandise fan produced stuff. Probably because to Universal and Fox the possibility of actual profit from fanproduced stuff looks like peanuts, and so long as each side got their little percentage and rights acknowledged on paper they were happy.

The reason the last one failed is because they were a known game house, with a real chance of profits, but only working with one of the sides of the equations. The other side found out, nearly cease and desisted, and then everything broke down from there.

Now that is definitely interesting. Hopefully they can stay open, get it up and running, and get people interested. I know I am curious and would give it a try.

Fireflyuniverseonline looks great, I am curious, is that a current project?

I tried myself to do the whole space trading thing a while back but... it just wasn't fun. :) I started to add stuff but it just didn't click for me. Ahhh well, people still log in now and again. You can mess with it at http://verse.scifilog.com It's been running since December 2007.
