Video Games You Wish Existed

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)

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).
