A new
If I Were a
Captain trailer offers a first look at gameplay from
Firefly Online, the
upcoming Unity-engine MMOG based on Firefly, the cult-favorite science fiction
series. The accompanying description indicates they are accepting signups for
the game, but that demand overwhelmed their host, and they are in the midst of
transitioning everything to Amazon, so none of the included signup links work
for now. Here's the refresher they offer on plans for the game: "Players take on
the role of a ship captain as they hire a crew and lead missions, while trading
with and competing against millions of other players like themselves. Much like
the crew of Serenity, the Firefly-class transport ship featured in the original
show, players must do whatever it takes to survive in the Verse: find a crew,
find a job and keep flying."
