From Dust is set in an extreme version of Planet Earth where nature unleashes her power in a much more violent way than what we are used to. Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions are what the days are made of for the people of Dust. In this kind of God game, users will play with powers to manipulate the world around them.Ground, water, lava, fire, plants and trees -model the world like a child playing sand castles on the beach. With such powers, players will help their people resist, expand and migrate so they can accomplish their quest to find a safe place.
From Dust is based on a technological breakthrough which allows us to have a world that's entirely dynamic. Players will be able to manipulate ground, water, vegetation, lava as if playing sandcastles on the beach. Breaching a lake open, digging craters, flooding valleys… And all this is simulation, not just graphics visualization.
Google Chrome allows users to experience the full From Dust experience from directly within their browser, which is possible thanks to the Native Client technology, an open-source technology that allows web applications to seamlessly execute native compiled code inside the browser.
“Adapting a game like From Dust for Chrome is part of Ubisoft's strategy to attract new players, by offering creative and innovative gaming experiences across a multitude of platforms,” said Thomas Paincon, EMEA FTP Publishing Director. “Google's Chrome Browser has a substantial segment of the worldwide internet browser market share, which is a large potential audience for us to engage.”
