Pathfinder / Starfinder Animated Movie

[alananimus]

Why has Paizo not yet created an animated movie yet? Something which has been bugging me especially with the rise of LitRPG is the distinct lack of Pathfinder/Starfinder media. There are some pathfinder novels and I think 1 pathfinder comic. Also what do you all think about new pathfinder/starfinder integrating game mechanics like other LitRPG?

There is a lot more than one Pathfinder comic book.

Budget.

Animation is hella expensive :p

Also, animation tends to be kinda looked down by live action movie crowd for some dumb reason.

Just get some Japanese company involved. Anime has more prestige than western animation.

I'd love to see a Starfinder Japanese Anime. But, again, requires funds.

Also, unless Paizo spins up an entire animation company, they pretty much need to have an existing company come to them with a passion to make an animated Pathfinder/Starfinder movie or TV show (or for that matter a film company wanting to make a live action one). If they can reach a licensing agreement, then production can move forward. If you don't have a production company which chooses to make a Pathfinder/Starfinder project, there's not much Paizo can do to make it happen.

I'm guessing they may have been approached by some smaller companies, but have passed based on too low of an offer on licensing and/or too new or small of a company to make them feel comfortable that they would do justice to the project.
