Wait, so the Alpha 1.0b is just a demo? 

yes
in hindsight I sometimes wonder if it was good to release it so early, but then we needed the feedback to see what works and what needs to be imrpoved, what people liked and what they didn't; but on the downside it also might have raised expectations as to when the game will be finished.

think if it this way, looking at what we have planned, the main game will be a lot bigger


and I suggested to Norton that we at least upload Demo 1.0c as it is right now, which would be a version that has the bugs fixed that were reported to us, but sadly doesn't have new content yet. But I haven't heard from him in ages and the last time was about not having much spare time anymore to work on the game.

I must say that this project is amazing, the game is fun and professionally made. I would pay for the complete version.

That demo felt really professional. If it takes you and the others a longer time to complete it, then that is alright. 
With Mass Effect 3 coming soon, that'll give you guys a window of oportunity to continue to work in MEC with less pressure. Everyone will be distracted with MS3.

[Quintus Kessler]

So, is the game still in production?

[Quintus Kessler]

Okay, I downloaded it, but how the hell do I play it? I'm an awful noob in PC gaming.

[Quintus Kessler]

It's awesome. I'm looking forward to the final product. I like how you've done the Paragon/Renegade options.

I don't think. There has been no updates in a long time

[Trooper04]

There hasn't been any update on this game here and on its Facebook page.

[Criz]

sorry about the lack of updates

I guess I have to take a look at what's there and consider the options on how to continue
though I have to admit, I'd like to complete one full run of Mass Effect - if only to get proper saves ready for ME3 to easily access missions in case I need to take reference screencaps quickly

so, it'll probably take till April before I get any real work done on MEC again, if I'm slacking after that you have my blessings to kick my procrastinating a**

pity that there are things now that might seem like we added them after ME3 ... like I did have plans to add a Shepard VI at some point XD

[Trooper04]

Are you going to have individuals test out the game by then?
Just to point out, the Alpha demo had grammatical errors. I should play it again to specify were they are found.

[Criz]

I think Demo 1.0c has most of those removed, at least the ones pointed out should be taken care of
hmm, I should probably go over that demo and if it's good, upload it for the tester team and if they're okey with it upload it openly.
At least people have a version with less errors to play around with until we have something new to show

Still need to work on a demo for the different battle system, which may be some more work due to issues merging what we have with those scripts ...

[Trooper04]

Okay, that's good, but one more issue. The background song that plays in the Presidium takes 4 seconds to start once you enter the Presidium scene.

[Bustercube]

Wow, Its been awhile since I first looked at MEC back in 2010. Does Norton no longer work on the game at all?

[Criz]

@Trooper04
can you tell me from where you entered the Presidium?

@Bustercube
that name rings a bell
since Norton posted it on his DA journal, I take it it's okey to talk about it openly.
He's becoming a dad and thus won't have much time for MEC anymore - not that any of us has had much time ever it seems
but he offered to take on assignments now and then

[Trooper04]

It doesn't matter from where I enter the Presidium. The music is delayed whenever you switch screen scenes to the Presidium.

EX: I'm in Sing-U-Rarity outside the club. I then walk left and the screen changes to a solitary area of the Presidium. The songs is delayed by 4 seconds. I walk down the scene and enter the elevator. The hum of the elevator starts immediately when I entered that scene. I go walk out of the elevator and re-enter the solitary are of the Presidium. Song is delayed by 4 seconds. I walk right and enter the Sing-U-Rarity scene and the background music for that space starts immediately. I continue walking right and the scene changes to the Presidium where the Elcore and the reporter (which you can punch) is located. The song takes 4 seconds to start.

I'm sorry to hear it going slowly, I loved the time I spent working on the project. We had some awesome discussions, I got to work with a group of very talented people, and the community seemed very eager to play the game, and with how the way ME3 ended I think people would still be very eager to try out the game. While I don't have a ton of free time myself I'll offer help in anyway I can, you know my talents, so if you find you need help with anything get in touch with me. I'll PM you my email address so you can. Keep up the good work.  

[Criz]

well, things will hopefully be picking up speed again
I just finished a chat with Norton to see what our next steps should be and how to organize priorities

personally, I'm a bit miffed that we didn't get to see any turian architecture - let along turian females; I had high hopes that ME3 would show us these things and provide us with reference material.

anyway, back to MEC
we'll also consider the places where we post regular updates, though keeping our priority list in mind, it may be a while before things get done that we can show, but at least updates along the line of 'wrotes this or that today' to keep people informed that there is in fact some progress going on would hopefully be appraciated until we can continue
maybe on top of the thread the MEC group could be revived
we usually post things on facebook as well and I used to tweet new things I had done, usually just links to the forum in case of news, as 140 letters aren't that much

[Biotic_Warlock]

Trying it now, it sounds interesting

[Criz]

it appears Norton really got back into things
and likes the new battle system
hope to help out soon with writing and spriting

[dtye]

Just a bit of an update from my end...

First off, I'm gonna be a dad! WOO!!!

Secondly, MEC is back in production!

Thirdly, New battle system is super fun.


Guys, so sorry for the lack of updates lately but life has just been hectic. First off, I had a job where I was away from the computer for the entire summer... then the tornado hit Joplin (where I live), then school and work, and now I'm working full-time and getting ready to go back to college.

I'm glad to be back, and it's nice that things have slowed down a bit in my personal life.

ME3's ending...oy. We have taken note and will do our best not to disappoint! This being a fan-game, we tend to listen to the fans...ALOT.

@Trooper04 : Sadly, the music delaying 4seconds has to do with the audio file directly. It's something I've noticed for some time. Hopefully we can resolve this issue in future updates.

@Bustercube : BUSTERCUBE!!! It's been too long. Glad to see you back here!

I'm tempted to make a joke about adding more colours at least, but I'm all too aware that the ME3 endings are a sensitive matter and I have my own 'priority list' of things I'd like to see fixed to finally enjoy ME3 up until the end, INCLUDING the end.

and I shouldn't mouth off about it until I can prove I can do better ... no pressure
