SimEarth remake with a proper geologic and climate model.

All the newer games in that mode feel like they’re all about growing the predefined lifeforms.

SimEarth was more about making the planet to support the lifeforms.

That game was such a disappointment.

I quite like it, what do you dislike?

You are one species. I want to play god.

Spent all their time on a cool creature customizer, but the actual gameplay is pretty shallow.

There are plenty of God simulators, but that's not what Spore's about. You could try Black and White, for instance.

In that vein, a remake of Sim Life using neural networks and all the latest “learning” and “evolving” tech.
