Mass Effect A New Destiny

Overview:

Mass Effect: A New Destiny is an upcoming Total Conversion beginning just prior to the First Contact War and ends at the climactic conclusion of Mass Effect 3. The mod looks to make an authentic Mass Effect experience while sometimes exchanging lore for fun gameplay in a 4X setting. This is an economic pre alpha and doesn’t represent the quality of the final build in the slightest. Uploading the mod now is for the sole purpose of getting feedback on how the new resources function, events and other goodies will come when they’re ready.

What you aren’t getting:

As this is a pre alpha the above content is pretty much it at the moment. As I said above, this is proof of concept released to get feedback. It will be updated with more events and content over time.

Compatibility:

For the moment this is probably compatible with some popular mods, however, I did not design the mod with compatibility in mind. If you encounter errors involving other mods I probably won’t be able to help. If you are a modder and want to make a patch feel free to do so, as long as you have permission from the other author, but you might want to wait until the build stabilizes a little first.

Credits:

I couldn’t make the mod without direct help and influence from the following. Team Nessassity, binaryhelixmods, Puckhead73, Garry Windu, Ambit, Harain, Renegades Modding Group, joshua.yathin.yu, communista, Capelett, Minoris, Soul. Music originally composed by Jack Wall, Sam Hulick, Richard Jacques, David Kates, Clint Mansell, Christopher Lennertz, Cris Velasco, Hi-Finesse Two Steps From Hell, Thomas Bergersen, Faunts, and Sascha Dikiciyan.

Ultimately everything belongs to Electronic Arts and BioWare I’m just playing in their sandbox. I’ve created this mod for fun and have no desire to profit from it.
