They each followed markedly different paths in their evolution. but in their isolation, a strange thing happened.
Time marched on in its relentless journey toward the future, and each of these civilizations slowly reconstructed their humanity. The few pockets of humanity that did survive developed in near solitude, clinging perilously to life like a tree desperately trying to gain root on a rocky cliff. The collapse of a central government caused civilization to slide helplessly into a dark age of isolation. They were left adrift in the lonely void of space, forced to fend for themselves, truly strangers in strange lands. Open rebellion caused the destruction of critical parts of the Hypergate system, severing entire systems from the umbilical cord of civilization. Like a wave in the darkness of space, colonization flowed outwards from Earth, until discord and dissent against a growingly corrupt central government caused it to come crashing down. The eccentric genius in Omata Kane, whose Hypergate system brought distant stars within reach, has all but been forgotten. The remnants of the Colonial Council's utopian vision of a united galaxy are littered about like so many discarded dreams. With a completely redesigned gaming engine, EV Nova thrusts you into a sprawling universe dominated by a myriad of warring factions, each sharing a common bond, but so philosophically different as to make conflict inevitable. Nova is the third game in the Escape Velocity series, and is by far the most ambitious installment to date. The recntly ported game was brought to our attention (thanks Hojew) and you can find a link to the PC demo by following the download tab above.
PC gamers will now have the chance of sampling EVN in order to understand what it is about the Escape Velocity series that has captivated Mac users. Escape Velocity Nova is an impressive and very successful shareware game which has been around for some time on the Mac.
