Arcane
A one-man project to do something like a Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress hybrid.
Like DK, you create an evil lair and choose what traps to place where, and which constructions to build in order to enable summoning which minions. There are five villages of different good races lying around the cliffside into which you have mined your lair. The surrounding villages will eventually come raiding, or you can wipe them out pre-emptively.
Like DF, you mine for ores and manage your minions as they craft and produce the items they will equip. You also have the dual play modes of being a keeper trying to survive attacks from the villages, or being an adventurer trying to clear a dungeon. You can beat the attacking villages as a dungeon keeper, and then become an adventurer and try to clear your own dungeon.
Notably unlike DF, however, there's an accessible and easy mouse-driven UI.
