Wow, I'm loving the art style, looks fantastic :O

I skipped around a bit and the actual gameplay didn't look like something I'd be interested in though. I'll give it a closer look later.

Ye, i doubt it will be a best seller, but i can't wait to fiddle around with the physics. :D

Looks like Black and White, an old PC god game, at least, without a giant animal. The worshiping is the same though, along with helping the people or not.

The visuals look awesome, loving the colours :D

Never played anything like it before, however I was tempted by Black & White once. Will From Dust be on Steam?

Im actually not sure, all i know for certain is that it will be downloadable only. So that it will be available on steam is a good bet. :)

I don't think it will. It's part of Summer of Arcade on Xbox Live.
Monday Night Combat was last summer, and it was ported to Steam just recently. So maybe that will happen with this game as well

Steam or not, the PC and console versions of From Dust will be released at the same time from what i've heard(read).

I've written a quick article about it. Go to my site (http://gamecraic.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/from-dust-getting-the-word-out/)to see it. I explain all the essentials.

Just found this confirming 27th this month and Steam.


From Dust, a game tantalisingly marketed as a “spiritual heir” to Peter Molyneux’s cult darling Populous will be coming to PCs everywhere on 27 July. And hey, that’s this month, so you won’t be waiting very much longer before bringing your divine disaster-based wrath down upon the heads of a helpless bunch of Neolithic troglodytes. Oh, it’ll be just like old times.

Designed by Eric Chahi – probably most notable for the Another World credit on his resumé, as well as Heart of Darkness and Future Wars – the god / lava / tsunami sim recently picked up the E3 Game Critics for “Best Strategy Game”.

From Dust will be launching via Steam, UBIshop, and a number of other digital distributors, and is tagged at $14.99. It’s also scheduled to drop on the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network at some point, although these dates have not yet been confirmed (with some sources claiming it’s happening the same day as the PC release).
