Sacred?  Nox?  Depths of Peril?  Revenant?

It's one of those cult classics.  A fairly obscure one, too.

It's sold on GOG if you really want to take a look at it.

Simple game where you play a bit of a zone capture game with little island towns that manufacture money and have turrets. Multiplayer, you play as ships(And maybe aeroplanes?) that you use to kill other players, destroy terrain and the towns. Last time I played they were working on adding tanks and troops for ground-based combat.

It was pretty much abandoned for the devs other projects, though a few years ago there was a fun test with infantry physics - but it seems he once again abandoned that for a new game.

I unlocked a core memory today of a (browser based?) city building game that I played when I was very smol instead of school work, but I think I was able to get away with it because it was an (I think) educational game about being eco friendly? But I never built any of the eco friendly houses because I liked the design of the old, non eco friendly houses so much... I think you could upgrade the old buildings to by eco friendly though?

It's driving me insane that I can't remember anything else about it. I don't expect anyone here to be able to find it since it was likely some obscure browser based educational game which was swiftly forgotten forever... but god, when I say insane, I mean insane.

You moved between islands on a ship. Top down map. Each island was an multiple choice event. Everything cost or gained you supplies. The idea was you'd go out and to get a high score make it back home alive. Probably 10+ years old now.

I believe the same people made a very similar sci-fi game.

It's probably a coincidence but do you mean Sunless Seas, followed by Sunless Skies?

I wanted to chime in saying that's too new, but sunless seas was apparently released in 2015, which is closer to a decade back than not. Skies is newer, full release was just four years back (though not any more sci-fi than seas, I don't think?). So... could be.

Sadly not. It was back when indie games were typically sold from their own sites rather than Steam, GoG etc.

In terms of theme it was more traditional brightly coloured adventure with stereotypical pirates and similar. The movement on the map was very primitive, no granular sailing, just nodes.

For the Sci-fi game, you don't mean FTL?

For the sci-fi one, I was thinking Strange Adventures in Infinite Space.

Strange Adventures in Infinite Space is the most similar of the suggestions.

Ah, that's the one thanks. Knew it had zero in the name.

New request, browser game (I think it was Flash) where you click to make an explosion which moves the circles on the screen. When the circles come near to other ones they hit each other and after a bit explode (With more together they explode faster), pushing other ones around. The goal's to clear a certain amount of the circles on the level.

It was called gravoids, or exlodoids or something like that.

A quick look through Flashpoint Infinity, I found Gravitoids(not "Gravitoid", which is also there, but a different game), which plays similar-but-not-exactly the way you describe.
