    • Ah, another one. Try to remember simple concepts such as grammar, spelling, and etiquette.

      Classic plugins for EVO:

      • The Frozen Heart - possibly the finest and most innovative plugin ever.

      • Femme Fatale - the epic sequel to Frozen Heart

      • F-25 - I've never played it, but it's supposed to be good.

      • Beyond the Crescent - Short and sweet

      A pretty good selection there - have fun.

      He wrote, thx instead of thanks, big whoop. Really, I mean he could have gone, "Yo, waz yo best plug that you jive to?" Did you want him to go, "Thank you; Jestor is now out." Really, you don't have to start off every other post (actually, it seems more than that) with how bad people write. It just ain't no matta. If iz getting dah point across, why worry. It ain't like it be hard to read "Thx Jestor out," so does it really matta? It ain't getting to the point o real annoyin, is it? well, not so much annoyin as this. 😉

      Frozen Heart was written before EVO came out, and was already set for release. Having heard that EVO was arriving, I held it back and released it with the new EVO features. This is why it didn't continue the EVO mood.

      Also, Frozen Heart is set in its own universe. I wrote the novel back in 1988. When EV arrived on the scene I loved it partly because a lot of it fitted with the kind of universe I had worked up for Frozen Heart. My earliest attempt was to write missions for EV that would enable the Frozen Heart story to work -- with just one new ship, based on the Lightning.

      As I wrote, I discovered I had to rewrite more and more stuff, until virtually everything was rewritten except for the names of the major stars, which are based on real astronomy. Even those I felt I had to move, to make more sense with the shape of the physical galaxy.

      By this time the plot had expanded so that it was bigger than the original EV game.

      When I started out, I had no clue how to make 3d graphics. As I went along I learned, and ended up remaking all the graphics at least 3 times. Shortly before EVO came out, I was trying to interest Ambrosia in releasing Frozen Heart as EV3, and I felt that the planet graphics and landings needed reworking to match the mood of the whole thing, so I put those in at a relatively late stage.

      I was kind of surprised that EVO didn't redo the planet graphics, but there you are.

      Ambrosia never bit, so I went ahead and released it anyway. And the rest is history.

      I hope that fills in on why it isn't a continuation.

      Regards

      Martin

      Actually, the correct word to use is badly--not bad.
      (Pulls a cold fusion)
      That was meant to be funny, in an idiotic way. In truth, I support cold fusion's view that shortening words and forgetting ones' grammer can be offensive to others. Respect the boards and those who read them by skipping the "internet chat room" slang.
      P.S -- I hope everyone doesn't jump all over me for this post. I apoligize if it upsets anyone? 🙂
