Almost exactly a month after sending out beta three to their private testers, Matt Burch has announced the fourth beta of Escape Velocity: Nova is now in testing. The Nova progress logs at Ambrosia Software have been updated with both Burch and Dafydd "pipeline" Williams of ATMOS bantering back and forth about the beta. We're hoping (along with many other EV fans) that both of their estimates on the number of remaining betas are being at least slightly exaggerated.

IMG recently posted a new look at the game, so be sure to give it a read for much more information on this third in the EV series. Beta four is a great milestone, and we're secretly hoping the game could be out by the end of the year. But, of course, the classic response is that it will be done when it's done. Stay tuned to IMG for the latest.
