Thought I'd take a short break from essay writing to post briefly about From Dust. It is effectively a game where the player will manipulate nature - a take on the God game genre. It is designed to remind the player of the childlike emotions experienced when playing and building sand castles on the beach. (As stated in the developer video diary).
The game will not be box released; a download only title. Just goes to show how far games have come, and indeed that the future, or a large part of the future of video games, will be with digital distribution. Apparently, the designers of From Dust stated that Ubisoft would not have allowed the game to be developed for box release.
