The devs that made the XCom 1 and 2 mods are making a space empire grand strat called Terra Invicta. Its currently in alpha in kickstarter. I created a wishlist post that contains the dev site if you want to check it out.

Please consider adding your vote to bring this to GoG!

have to admit that looks pretty decent (from the video).

Looks quite promising, voted.

Voted however, have the devs indicated whether they will be offering the game on GOG ?

interesting yes,

i do fear for what is in the end a very shallow game
