Escape Velocity Nova goes GM

Posted by pudge on from the clear-my-schedule-i-got-gamin-to-do dept.

Shattered writes "I check the changelog for the game pretty regularly, and last night Matt Burch posted that 1.0 of EV Nova has gone out for GM duplication. I don't know about everyone else, but I have been a big fan of the series of games, and I know a lot of Mac users that are fans. I'm glad to see the trilogy is just about ready for release." I really enjoyed the original Escape Velocity, and didn't play EV Override much, but enjoyed what I did play of it. If I only buy one game this year, I might buy this one, too.

    Escape Velocity was perhaps the most amazing shareware title ever developed, and its modular plug-ins gave it near unlimited replay value. Escape Velocity: Override, the sequel, dissapointed many diehard fans such as myself, with only token adjustments to the end experience and a new universe that, while larger and encompassing more races and subplots, lacked the appeal ofthe original. Don't get me wrong, though; Override was still an incredible game. Finally, we see a new EV, with new races, a new story, a new engine, better everything, and best of all, OSX support. Say goodbye to your social lives, kiddies! Let's hope Nova returns to its roots and deliver the amazing gameplay us Ambrosia fans (and Mac users!) have come to expect.
