The art of From Dust

Critically acclaimed developer of Another World, Eric Chahi has a new game, From Dust. Part God sim, part RTS and part sandbox world simulation From Dust is very, ah-hah, granular. In your capacity as a God-like Diarmuid Gavin you must nurture and protect the inhabitants of a gorgeously mysterious looking archipelagos.
As well as being able to manipulate that dusty sand, your god-like abilities will mean you can mould water, plants and lava to your whims or more often than not to save your odd mask-wearing tribes folk from natural disasters, and themselves. Wearing masks from birth has to be a bit tricky.
The inspiration for the game world's environments is very dusty too. You can watch the art direction developer diary after the jump.
From Dust will be a downloadable game distributed over Steam this summer.
