FFO
I’m a Browncoat. I’m also a big fan of Joss Whedon. Yet somehow I overlooked the existence of Firefly Online (FFO). Just a wonderful example of how out of tune I sometimes fall in an industry that is chock full of limitless opportunity. I fancy all game forms, but there is something alluring about those special occurrences that strike chords with the senses, and Firefly is among the most sensual.
These blokes have my money and don’t even know it yet.
Now, FFO is not an MMO, more of an RPG with interactive elements player to player. One of them being ‘job creation’, i.e. mission creation, which was a huge perk for me when I played City of Heroes. Play your awesome business? Check. Write my own awesome business to play? Supercheck.
We’ll see how well the genre is managed, but I get a sense that the spirit is true to the crew of Serenity and Whedon’s vision. With luck, they’ll do well enough to develop it into a full fledged MMO. If so, I very well may have found my niche once more. Either way, keep an eye out for more FFO goodness here!
