http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-03-eric-chahi-on-from-dust-peter-molyneux-and-whats-next-interview
| Quote: | Eurogamer: Did it sell as well as you hoped?
Eric Chahi: I can't tell you the number because Ubisoft don't want me to. But it sold very well. That's good because we can push them to create more original things. |
| Quote: | Eurogamer: So you're not interested in doing another From Dust game?
Eric Chahi: I would love to do another From Dust, but right now there is no plan. And also, I have a strong desire to create something very original. Not ambitious in terms of content, but really focused on bringing something new and fresh. |
Also some technical details:
| Quote: | Eurogamer: What was the hardest thing about making From Dust?
Eric Chahi: The simulation. It demands a lot of computation, so we had to do a lot of optimisation, optimisation that uses the power of today's computer. Richard Lemarchand [Uncharted 3 lead game designer] was talking about the PS3 and the Cell. Typically in From Dust you are using this kind of architecture to have it running at the right frame rate. We have a big grid in the game, and each cell computes all the vegetation, and so there is a hundred thousand to around 200,000 cells to compute for each frame.
This has been coded not in C, but in a micro language close to the VS Assembly language. It takes advantage of processor architecture where you have a cache memory, so the computation is done so that it stays in the cache memory and can compute things very fast. This is for the behaviour of the simulation.
Aside this we have the visualisation of the simulation. Doing visualisation of something highly dynamic, like all the terrain - you can have lava, rocks, and all this mixing - the next frame it can appear, disappear. So all the shaders have been designed to represent this dynamic world, and especially all the fluid movement. We have special texture scrolling so it follows the direction of the flow. But we can't have a texture scrolling for a long time on some vertex, or else it becomes totally distorted and it's stretched too much. So we have to reset it, but reset in a way you can't see. It's really complicated to manage.
There was complexity regarding the algorithm, and complexity regarding the visual art, so everything stands out for the player. The player must understand when it is rock, when it is sand, when it is vegetation, when it is water, when there is not a lot of water somewhere. We wanted this to be beautiful.
I'm going to go back to the simulation side, because the world evolves. The landscape changes, where you can have a river being created, you can have a volcano become bigger and bigger and bigger. All this is emergent. We did not code a river algorithm or a volcano algorithm. It's just a lava emitter and then it flows with the rule of the simulation. It took a long time to tweak it so it gave a beautiful result but is suitable for gameplay. |

This is one of the most boring games I've ever played. I played through 5 levels, then I was looking at the shortcut for a few days too bored to launch it. Then I uninstalled.
But it was a good idea, I'd like to see a sequel.

i`ve played through the game and i must say im a bit disappointed, because i expected more freedom. but i can`t say its a bad game - it does have some replay value and its good that it is out there, because the technology it offers can be used in future games.
