From Dust Has a Glorious Engine for God Games
It's time to mess with the villagers.
One of the games that slipped through our view during Gamescom last week was From Dust, a download game from Ubisoft planned for release in March 2011.
What makes From Dust seem so special is that it channel some of the classic PC gameplay styles from old games like Populous. While that sort of gameplay doesn't seem very marketable anymore in a stand-alone retail space, it could be perfect for download on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and various PC channels.
From Dust is very much a game where you play God and have control over the land and elements. Right now it's just a solo affair, but developers are exploring the possibilities of adding multiplayer modes after release.
Check out the first developer diary below to see what the game is all about.

from dust has potential.
wonder if it will have drm lol
it is so sad that one has to worry about if a game will work at all thanx to extra software that publishers add ...
The natural physics appear to be really good. Really good starting point. Go Ubi go!
*drool*
I want this game, I'd kill a lot of time.
Black & White and also Populus from back in the day. Definitely looks cool.
