Get Divine Powers From Dust
Jun 09, 6:00 am
‘A modern god game where nature is the star.’
This might be one of the most interesting games I’ve seen. Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier studio, From Dust is a gorgeous arcade game that takes you to a primitive world that is both beautiful and dangerous. I was able to get an interview with Eric Chahi, the Creative Director on From Dust, and he gives us an inside look at this innovative new game.
Here is some more information about the game.
STORY:
A shaman leading a tribe on a sister planet, in an extreme version of earth, where time erodes everything under the eyes of the player and the power to master nature is the only way to survive. Measure the full range of your acts.
A tribe is searching for it’s lost knowledge and history. Through their worship they bring you, the player, into existence as the “Breath”. You are a god like spirit guiding and helping the Tribe overcome the powers of nature. You will have objectives to accomplish like removing obstacles and shaping the terrain around them to help them on their journey. The power to create and destroy is at your fingertips. From Dust, the people’s destiny is in your hands.
GAME FEATURES:
GROUND-BREAKING TECHNOLOGY – Play in the sandbox of one of the most advanced real-time nature simulations, where everything you see and interact with evolves dynamically, offering a constantly renewed experience.
A WORLD YOU CAN SHAPE, A NATURE YOU MUST CONTROL – Beware the danger of a world constantly and dynamically changing under your command. Control the forces of nature to sculpt the world in your image. Hold back lava, stop raging waters, empty lakes, grow forests and raise mountains!
A PROGRESSIVE PUZZLER – Start off with simple challenges of manipulating the earth, move on to timed challenges where disaster is on the horizon, and eventually progress to highly difficult challenges that will test your mind and nerves.
A TRIBE YOU SHALL GUIDE – Control the destiny of a tribe struggling to survive and recover the lost knowledge and powers of their ancestors. Protect your tribe against Nature’s most devastating attacks. Face down tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, volcanoes, torrential rains…
A LEGENDARY DESIGNER – Original concept and creative direction by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of Out of this World / Another World.
ONLINE LEADERBOARDS - Compare your Challenge Mode scores with the community on worldwide leaderboards.
