Ikusa-Online is a massively multiplayer strategy game playable through any modern browser. Here's the run down:
IKUSA-ONLINE is a massively multiplayer online game, set in a persistent, ever-evolving space universe. Possessing only a single planet, set out to create a massive kingdom to claim the Holy Terra Empire as your own.

-High-level technology can be unlocked through joint-research with other players
-Ability to build-up and customize every individual planet you control
-NPC factions fighting and joining with player-run factions
-Ability to setup player-run clans or "houses"
-Complex political system for changing everything from taxes, position of the Empire's fleets, to selecting an Emperor
-NPC and player-run corporations producing special commodities and units
-Ability to appoint governors to planets for production bonuses
-Abiiity to appoint commanders to fleets for attack and defense bonuses
-Ability to create "customized" flagships to lead your fleets

Sent in my application, this looks interesting.
Is this game going to go commercial? Also, at least the basics of the game should be posted in the manual before testing starts.

I was going to enter but I couldnt be bothered filling in such a long form :o
lazy maybe...

Sorry I should clarify.
There is very little information on the website, perhaps a little more would encourage people to submit (assuming you arent being swamped by applications that is)

I''d have to agree with the APs, you gave more info in your forum post than there is on the website.
I''ve just put up a portion of the manual that was ready enough to be posted. It''s not much, but should hopefully give a little more information. More content will be added as it is completed or polished over the next couple of days. In response to the requests for more information, I''m going back and revising the original design document for posting (it''s a bit outdated and needs to be updated).
No screenshots are available yet because I''m in the process of reskinning the UI, but that should hopefully be completed soon. There won''t be much in the way of graphics (as it is a browser based UI), but it will shed some light on how the game is played. Hope this all will be enough to keep your interest until it is ready to be tested, but if not just request some things and I''ll see what I can do :D
