Special Thanks
This mod would not be possible without the contributions from a vast amount of people. I owe each and everyone of them an eternal debt of gratitude. Below is a list of people who were absolutely essential in the development of Project Variety. For a complete list, please check the credits panel.
Audemus: For creating the various new Citadel advertisements, his audio editing contributions, texture contributions, his feedback, and the creation of various FMVs.
Beccatoria: For her feedback and F. I. S. H integration.
Bladezero: For his feedback.
ClericofShadows: A ton of mesh creations.
DroptheSquid: For making the new tertiary codex and making mod settings menu (thank you much!)
Furinax: For creating one of the most beautiful models imaginable for Miranda and for letting me use his outfit from Ark mod in PV.
Fairfieldfencer: For his excellent voice acting for the Krogan leaders of the Bloodpack.
Jenya66: For her constant mesh and texture support and for her support and feedback.
Khaar: For being the best bug tester around and for his feedback.
Kinkojiro: For all the technical advice that he gave me. Some parts of PV would not be possible without
his input and technical knowledge (thank you so much for creating the change stunt mesh sequence object and for helping me develop the
community patch).
KV57Games: The best QA tester I ever had.
Mith: Mesh Creation
Mellin: Where do I begin? Let me just say that Mellin is perhaps the most instrumental person to the success of Project Variety. His willingness to spend his time to create an endless amount of new models is something that I will forever be in awe by. PV and especially PV Extras owes so much of their content to
him that it's impossible to describe in a few words. Mellin unlocked the potential of PV and allowed me to truly achieve my vision for it. I am
forever grateful for his contributions to the project. A thank you does not seem enough to be honest.
MentleHygine: For their meshes and textures.
MorningAngel: For her constant willingness to create new outfits for me.
Mgamerz: For making the ME3Tweaks fork of ME3Explorer and ME3Tweaks Mod Manager. His willingness to improve the toolset and add new features to it is why PV is where it is. Modding is so much better because of him. PV would not be possible without his work.
NoiraFayn: For creating the beautiful Miranda casino dress, Miranda's new hairstyles, and her support.
