The Project Dust announcement nicely surprised us during this last E3. This downloadable 'populous-like' game, developed by the mythical Eric Chahi, now gets a new name, From Dust, a technical demo trailer, an image gallery and some artworks. More info in the press release.
Live ‘A modern god game where nature is the star’
A shaman leading a tribe
On a sister planet, in an extreme version of earth
Where time erodes everything under the eyes of the player
And the power to master nature is the only way to survive
Measure the full range of your acts.
From Dust people’s destiny is in your hands
• GROUND-BREAKING TECHNOLOGY – Behold the beauty of a primitive world, pulsing with life through the breath of a nature expressing its forces at its fullest.
• A WORLD YOU CAN SHAPE, A NATURE YOU MUST CONTROL – Beware the danger of a world constantly and dynamically changing under your command.
• A TRIBE YOU SHALL GUIDE – Control the destiny of a tribe struggling to survive and recover his ancestors lost knowledge and powers.
• A LEGENDARY DESIGNER – Original concept and creative direction by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of Out of this World / Another World

It's a "God game". Basically you're the god and those people are your followers or minions ;-P
You can manipulate the environment to help your people or destroy an opposing tribe (At least that was what happened in Populous)
So for example build a lava flow into an other tribes village or create a volcano in the middle of it.
I'm going to build a paradise!
