interesting and informative to the average gamer.

Brief Description:
Sekultara is a browser based space strategy game, which focuses
primarily on space combat between fleets. It will contain certain
resource management and diplomacy elements meaning there is something
for everyone's style of play. Objective and alliance (clan) based game
play will keep things moving and encourage players into combat with
each other. Schematics and upgrades for pilots,fleetships,buildings and
weapons can all be discovered and customizable fleetships enable the
player to create ships that fit there needs and style of play.

An achievement system and story driven game play elements will encourage a player back for more.

Target Aim:-
Our target Audience is generally considered to be male teenagers 14+ up to 45 year old middle aged men.

We aim to release the game as a free to use browser game. However an
option for subscription membership to enhance the gaming experience
further is planned .Also planned is an ingame market which will allow
players to buy upgrades,schematics,weapons and fleetships using the in
game currency which is 'credits', however a limited number of 'credits'
can be bought using real money via micro transactions.

We are also intending to make the game compatible with a wide range of
other browser software,these include the Android/I phone,G phone,Nokia
and Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3.

Compensation:
Unfortunately the only current compensation we can offer for your work
is the standard portfolio and practice ,the project currently has no
money and all the equipment (servers) have been bought by Paul out of
his own pocket.
However if the project is picked up by a publisher and we do get some
investment then we will negotiate a figure with you for your work that
you have done up until that point.

Current stage of development and schedule:-
We are at a Pre-Alpha stage of development having just carried out our
first weekend of major testing to try and balance the basic base stats
for the main units and weapons in the game.
The game will be put through phased testing as more is added to it, it
will then be tested by various members of the team with intermittent
arranged 'mass' testing sessions.
We are shooting for a possible Q4 2009 public release,however this is
dependent upon the teams 'real-life issues' and inevitable set-backs.
