We still don't know when 'Mass Effect 4' is due for release. We don't even know if it's going to be called that. But what we do know is this: you can personally contact each and every team lead on the game's current BioWare development team.
Yup. They're all on Twitter, and their not stingy with whatever little updates they can release on the development of the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed Mass Effect trilogy. And every little bit of info exposed by these team leads offers us an idea of what they're up to.
For instance, Yanick Roy, the studio director for BioWare Montreal tweeted a photo of their office giveaways last Christmas: N7 lunch kits. Besides small details like this, you can also find tidbits that can tell you what some of the team leads are focused on, like this reply to a fan from creative director, Mac Walters.
In one post, Joel MacMillian, the art director for the game, reveals that even he was surprised to find out where some of the design elements of the previous games came from - quite unusual for the man who's responsible for the final look of all the in-game artwork for the next Mass Effect.
Some tweets offer us a rare look into their creative process, like this one, from LucasArts and EA veteran and now producer for BioWare, Fabrice Condominas. And some show us that some of the team leads appreciate fan art a little more than the others, like this tweet from senior development director, Chris Wynn.
As long as you're sincere about helping to develop the game, these team leads appreciate any and all suggestions and opinions about it. You might even get favorited or retweeted if your ideas are interesting enough. And if you're lucky, (or really good) those ideas might even actually make it to the next Mass Effect.
If you want in on how 'Mass Effect 4' is going to turn out, follow these people immediately. And if you're brave enough, tweet them your best ideas.
