DevBlog # 3

originally posted on 2010 - 07 - 13


Greetings everyone from myself and the entire MEC team! We have dedicated a large portion of our lives to bring you a compelling story based on the existing Mass Effect games. In the Mass Effect Chronicles, you will play as three different species; Turian, Asari, and Salarian. While I can't reveal the story for you, I can give you a few things to expect from our team and the game itself.

-3 Playable characters (Each being a different species)
-Several recruitables (Both combative and non-combative)
-An interesting and compelling story that stays true to the Mass Effect games and heeds their historical references and data.
-Ability to visit locations from ME1, ME2 and several unique to this game.
-100% unique-to-this-game artwork and game art.
-An interesting mining system. (No planet spinning this time... sorry ;) )
-Planetary exploration.
-Paragon/Renegade system.
-Love interest system.
-An upgradable ship.
-Much, much more!

One of our main goals is to make this game a logical extension of the Mass Effect universe. With Alpha on its way, you'll finally have a chance to test this game out in its infancy. The best way to make sure you are included in the Alpha release is to be a part of the forums.

I must admit, we have been up to something...
In the darkest reaches of space, we've been working on something special.
And it is with much pride and pleasure that I reveal this secret to you.

Without further ado, I present to you....

The Mass Effect Chronicles Website !

Take some time and discover what we've been working on. Also, if you're a fan of Mass Effect, and want to help with the creation of this fan-game, take a stroll over to our new 'Jobs' section! Without people just like you, this game wouldn't even exist.

Also, please make sure to set your favorites at http://www.mechronicles.com instead of http://www.turianproject.com. Accessing the forums via the turianproject.com website will result in no stored username and passwords (making you sign in each time you visit).

This wouldn't be much of a development blog without a few screenshots.

Looking at the sun can be bad for your eyes.
Ah, welcome to the presidium, and our new menu system. (Trees are not original yet, but will be soon.)
A look at the statistics page.

There is still much to come, so grab a seat, register on the forums, and hang on to your butts; you're in for a ride. Oh...and please don't feed the space goats...they can get cranky.
