Video Games You Wish Existed

[James Gasik]

A combination City Builder and 4x wherein the city of the city building part doubles as the grand strategy map for the empires of some smaller creature (perhaps of the city's rats, which could be cartoony and anthropomorphized)



There really ought to be a use-it-or-lose-it law for IP

Then we could have Ultima back.

a Star Control sequel, with a proper strategic layer a la SC1

Have you checked out Free Stars: Children of Infinity? It’s helmed by the original SC creators, Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford. The Kickstarter page has a lot of fun dev blogs. While I don’t think there’s any hints of the strategic planet conquering game of SC1 it is set to be a proper sequel to SC2 (or technically, Urqan Masters, which they hold the rights to).

Yes, I backed the Kickstarter with rather more enthusiasm than a man my age should. But I’m pretty sure it lacks the strategic layer, which is one of the few things I miss from Star Control 1. Though perhaps with a slightly less madness-inducing starmap.

A game similar to the 1996 city builder Afterlife in which you build a heaven and hell, but with the following changes:

*Better game balance
*more modern flavor text and interface
*More influence over the mortal world
*You get to choose what is a virtue and what is a vice

I'd play the hell out of a game based on the Yokai Realms

Between this and the new KS, I really wish it existed.
