I have usually kept a short list of games that would be fun if they existed. Long ago one my bullets in the list was a procedurally generated planet-sized planet with a full diaspora to explore. No Man's Sky fulfilled that for me.

#2There was an old starcraft mod that was like playing Risk and was an absolute blast and could be played in an hour or so (as opposed to normal risk games that take a few hours), I would love something like that again

#3A true planetary scale RTS, which kept the conventions of the RTS genre intact.
Supreme Commander gets close to this, but I want the full surface area of a planet as the campaign.

#4A modern single-player Ultima franchise game

#5Does anyone remember “liquid war”, where you battled with another player to control a lump of fluid and engulf the other person?
I really really want to play that, two player, on my phone over network where my finger controls the liquid.

#6RTS FPS combo, where one person gives orders to the units who are then played by players. Maybe this already exists idk

#7I've had this idea for a puzzler with 5 space dimensions and 2 time dimensions, but I just haven't had the time to implement it.
Also, it sounds cool, but I don't think it'd be fun, just a neat curiosity.

#8Kerbal Space Program 2 would be a nice start.
These days I'm more interested in story-heavy, all single-player, occasionally borderline pretentious games, whose story is sufficiently compelling to distract from what the outside world (US-based, for me) has become.

#9Apollo lunar landing simulator, with optional VR glasses mode.
It would include the rocketry part, spacewalks, airlock operation, moon car, etc.

#10A deep, open world RPG (akin to fallout, or the Witcher, say) set in a pirates of the Caribbean/monkey island type setting.
