Hi there.
Recently - which means about a month ago - I came across a preview in a German game-magazine about a game that piqued my interest.
It was about a game called "From Dust", a new type of god-simulation. In it, you shape the natural world[Water, sand, stone, lava, vegetation] to form an island and to protect your tribe from outward influences. (All of it with an awesome physics-engine.)
Since I haven't found any threads on it yet and there has not been a statement about the release date for months, I thought I might just advertise this here and hope that someone is better informed than me when it comes to the release. (Discussions would be alright aswell, I think...)
Here's the E3-Trailer:

And here is a link to a Tech Demo on youtube: (Watch this if you want to see how the game works)

And it's facebook-page:

Hope others find this game interesting aswell, would really like to see it have good sales and thus get some additions. [They were thinking of including e.g. a multiplayer, if it were successful.]
Before I forget, it will be available via Download from Steam, Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network and (probably) cost 15 bucks. [Can't say whether that's dollar, euros or punds, though.]
PS: @Mods: Hope this is not too much advertising, I kinda liked the concept so I thought of showing the important stuff to people who might visit this thread.
PPS: They have waterfalls... Waterfalls. WATERFALLS!!!

Sadly, no statements about a release date.
