Apparently, there was supposed to be an online RPG game! 😳
I’m not sure when exactly development of the game began, but in 2013, it was an official idea and had been approved by FOX. It didn’t see its way through tho. In 2016, development unofficially just up and stopped. I suspect it was possibly related to the fact that Ron Glass, actor of ‘Shepard Book’, passed away that year.
It was apparently a fan produced game, so maybe fans were just too discouraged to continue. :(
My thinking is, they were (of course) going to have all the actors voice act in the game; but you can’t have Firefly without Shepard. 😭
It might be more possible though nowadays. Aside from ethical questions that is 😅
Just as an idea, what if Glass’ voice was simulated? It would mean the game might come through development! Which honestly would be exciting.
If, however, it was just purely unethical, then maybe someone could be found to voice act Glass’ voice?? Idk. :/
It would be so amazing if this game finished development and became a real thing! (especially in leu of our modern CGI, and other things that can make the modern RPG game so amazing 🤩)
