"From Dust is the latest original game concept by Eric Chahi, creator of the cult classic, “Another World / Out of this World”. Immerse yourself in a world as exotically beautiful as it is dangerous! You control the destiny of a primitive tribe against the backdrop of a world in constant evolution—a universe where mighty Nature reclaims what is hers; and your mastery of the elements is your people’s only chance of survival... "

"Ground-Breaking Technology
Play in the sandbox of one of the most advanced real-time nature simulations, where everything you see and interact with evolves dynamically, offering a constantly renewed experience.

Unique Art Direction
Discover a large variety of environments: Tropical islands, volcanic landscapes, deserts and so much more…

Rich Story Mode
Explore 13 breathtaking territories of emergent gameplay. Master the natural forces at play on a mysterious archipelago and help a primitive tribe to recover the lost powers of their ancestors.

Confront Mighty Nature
Protect your tribe against Nature’s most devastating attacks. Face down tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, volcanoes, torrential rains…

Master Godlike Powers
Control the forces of nature to sculpt the world in your image. Hold back lava, stop raging waters, empty lakes, grow forests and raise mountains!

Live Up to the Challenge
Race against the clock on 30 additional maps in Challenge Mode. Each scenario is a puzzle-like challenge where time is of the essence...

Online leaderboards
Compare your Challenge Mode scores with the community on worldwide leaderboards."

The mood.
The band.
The flavor.

I was also looking at this and thinking of pre-ordering it.

It reminds me of populous the beginning?  The last level where your shaman becomes a god (Volcano outbreak! ^_^)

looks like Populous to me, like a super advanced version of of it. I never played the first Populous, I may or may not have played Polybius, that's neither here nor there. But what I did play was Populous: The Beginning, which was kind of fun, but at the same time this sort of feels like it takes that idea and makes it bigger, bolder and refines the world... which for this type of game, referred to many "God Games".

Strange that Populous: The Beginning seems to be the end to the Populous series. But this Project Dust seems like a revival of that type of game.

From Dust will breath fresh life into the blood line that Black and White sustained. And how!
