Patterns: building and exploration in a world of triangles, physics, and more triangles

Patterns lets you play a man made of triangles as he combines triangles into non-triangle shapes to build mega structures like some sort of mad triangle god. It's being developed by Second Life creators, Linden Labs in partnership with Free Range Games . It'll let you "explore caverns and valleys, while you harvest substances with real world densities." You can use those harvested substances to construct ~~the greatest triangle in the universe~~ bridges and the like.

There is a beta, which you can sign up for on this Linden Labs page . Linden Labs CEO Rod Humble provides a visual introduction to the world of patterns in this debut trailer.
