Video: Building a Musical Civilization With From Dust

How did civilization develop? If you ask From Dust, it turns out that using music to stop tsunamis was a big part of it.

Eric Chahi, creator of Out of this World and Flashback, sat down with Wired.com to discuss his latest game, From Dust, at a Ubisoft E3 preview event last month.

On show at this week’s E3 Expo in Los Angeles, the game is like little you’ve ever played. You’ve got to use your godlike powers to deform the terrain so your people may proceed along their life’s journey, moving water and sand to protect them from natural disasters. Along the way, they’ll learn music that will help them stay alive long enough to see the next part of their journey.

From Dust will be released for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 later this year.
