Project dust is the spiritual heir to Populous. The game is set in an extreme version of Planet Earth where nature unleashes her power in a much more violent way than what we are used to.
At Nexon Developer Conference 2017 (NDC 2017) Project DH was presented to the public again. The mobile action title from Mabinogi and Vindictus developer devCat debuted at G-Star 2016, but didn't show too much to the audiences.
News just in from Gamescom - Ubisoft has renamed XBLA, PSN and PC title Project Dust to simply 'From Dust'.
With Fumito Ueda and Hideo Kojima citing his work as an influence, Eric Chahi has an enviable pedigree. He is best known for the 1991 Amiga platformer Another World, a game which featured no HUD and very little dialogue, instead framing its story with cutscenes, rotoscoped character animation and pacing more evocative of cinema than games up until that point. After the exhausting six year development process of his following project (1998 PlayStation release Heart Of Darkness), however, he decided to take a break from making games. In 2005, after being inspired by a trip to a volcano, the idea for Project Dust (working title) formed, and a year later a pitch to Ubisoft gave the project a publisher.
Wasn't he the sole creator of Out of this World?
If it's who I think it is, I'll have to check this out
Wow this looks really cool, isn't this a Kinect and Move title too?
The mere mentioning of Populous brings shivers down my spine.
Oh the 15 slots on memory card, oh the joys!
This looks very odd, I have no idea what it's about but it's sort of intriguing.
