"From Dust" - a new RTS-Sim from Ubisoft


Recommended Posts

superannuation have posted details on a mysterious game listed on the CV of "Game designer Benjamin Dumaz"

Undisclosed Innovative RTS-Simulation Game at Ubisoft

This game, based on the theme of “Nature”, uses very advanced systems to provide a new experience based on manipulation of a realistic simulation.

Produced at Ubisoft Montpellier, by a very talented team, using Agile methodologies, in collaboration with a French AI laboratory.

Interesting stuff :hmm:

*The CV is now returning "Error 404 - Not found" errors, so looks like it might have been "pulled" so Benjamin might be in some "hot water" for letting slip details of an Undisclosed title

Benjamin Dumaz is indeed a Game designer at Ubisoft (at least he was yesterday :P )

Yes and EndWar doesn't strike me as related to a theme of "Nature" at all (just the opposite in fact)

I was thinking of it being something more along the lines of a Sim city/Civilization meets Spore/Creatures type mix

Ubisoft unveils Project Dust

LOS ANGELES--At Ubisoft's press briefing, the French publisher lifted the veil on a couple of new projects. Rayman Origins, a mischievously humorous 2D side-scroller was announced, but the company also had another game in tow, tentatively named Project Dust.

A trailer for the title was shown at the end of Ubisoft's briefing, and details on the code-named project were scant at the time. The brief trailer, narrated by a deep, ominous voice, showed masked tribe members living through a series of cataclysmic events as a result of lost ancestral powers.

Gamescom: Ubisoft renames Project Dust

News just in from Gamescom - Ubisoft has renamed XBLA, PSN and PC title Project Dust to simply 'From Dust'.

The game was first announced at E3 back in June, and is the creation of Eric Chah.

It essentially features an endangered tribe using powers over the globe's dangerous elements. There is lots of dust, as one might expect.

I wonder how long it took them to come up with the new name. :rolleyes:
