Why does no one make a Black and White-style game? (kbin.social)

As long as we are talking about old games that are still the gold standard, how is it possible no one has recreated the giant-god-monster and city management game Black and White yet?! That game was fantastic, and its premise so solid. It seems ripe for replication in more contemporary engines.

@AlexRogansBeta

There is this one: https://fata-deum.com/

I backed it on kickstarter ages ago. Have not played so ymmv, but its meant to be a spiritual successor to the B&W games.

Looks interesting but the trailer doesn't really portrait the same spark as black and white. What made BW so interesting was really how charming it was combined with an interaction method that made you feel godly. This has the idea of being a god, but will you interact using godly powers? Or do you just change settings via menus no different than any other Civ like game.

Dang this looks SO close to what I'd want. It's just missing big ass creatures.

Big-Ass Creatures or Big Ass-Creatures?
