Title: Mass Effect Chronicles [RMXP]
Post by: Norton on July 15, 2010, 02:46:31 AM
Story
[spoiler]The game Mass Effect Chronicles is a fan-game based on Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 ( (C) Bioware / EA Games ). The story revolves around three main characters; a Turian, an Asari, and a Salarian.
The lives of millions were changed from the Reaper attack on the Citadel, and Commander Shepard of the human race is now missing in action. A new power is rising on the Citadel that could impact the alliances made between several of the species recognized on a galactic scale. How this new power impacts these alliances will inevitably be up to three individuals.

You will take charge of a vessel, gather a team of elite soldiers, tacticians, scientists, and more. Explore the vast galaxy and its many planets. Mine asteroids and mineral deposits. Fight a multitude of enemies. And determine the fate of peace in the galaxy.[/spoiler]


Characters
[spoiler]We have been revealing characters on our website slowly, and many of the characters simply will not be revealed until the game has been released. With that said, I'll go ahead and list a few characters.

-Akarius (Playable Turian) : Past is determined by the player, same with personality and class.

-Morwin (Turian) : At the age of 43 Morwin is a highy respected Sentinel in the Turian
military. His intellect, technical skills and keen eye make him a powerful
ally in any situation.

Credits
[spoiler]Everything in this game will eventually be 100% unique (from the tilesets, sprites, and pictures to the music and sounds.)
However, at this current moment, we are using a few of the original RTP resources and miscellaneous tiles I had stockpiled long ago. (No idea where they came from or who made them.)  The screenshots below are anywhere from 100% unique to 80% unique.

(C) Bioware & EA Games for the title of Mass Effect and themed content found in this game.[/spoiler]

Much appreciated. It's been a long hard road so far... and it's just going to get harder. Thankfully, we've got the basics down, and it's all up to piecing everything together now.

Tell me about it.  There are times when I wish we were working on a game that took advantage of the default resources... but with our current theme, that just doesn't work. Don't get me wrong though... it's uber fun drawing asteroids!
