This is a crafting game I've been throwing around for a while now, but I think I should try and post it now or it'll keep bugging me, lol. Dark Constructs is based off an old RPG I used to have, Crafters Legacy, in which you find yourself on a shattered planet and must build stuff to survive. This is simply that, plus whole bunch more.
------------------------------------------------------------
You wake up on a small planetoid somewhere. You can remember some things about yourself, but how you got on that planetoid is confusing you, until the memories hit you hard...Large comet...impact...planet shatters...and then blank. You look around at your new home, and notice off in the distance that there are a few other planetoids like yours. The sun seems to have disappeared, so you going to have to build in a darkness. Better start on your dark constucts sooner, rather than later...

You will gain more types of crafts when they arise

You stand up and look around your planetoid some more. You see a bunch of trees over to one side, and what's left of a mountain behind you. You hear a couple strange noises from nearby. If your going to build, you better do it quickly...

You do so. As you try and sleep, the tree begins to make a weird thumping noise, and shakes to the noise. What do you do?

I will go around the area near the crevice to see if there is some kind of alternative entrance that would lead inside.

You do so. You find the scorpion-dog-thing from earlier gnawing at the tree. What now?

You do so, but find none. As you look for an alternate entrance, you all of a sudden hear a whistle, like on a steam train. What now?

NOTE TO PLAYERS: After your next post, I will be adding in Health and Hunger stast to your sheets. I cannot believe I forgot these two details for the character sheet. I am sorry for this. This will be the only announcement

You chop the felled tree into 5 logs (-1 hunger). The buzzing seems to have stopped, but only after you collected the logs. What now?

That thing again? Time to end this.

I will jump on another tree, and from there burn some branches and then throw them at the beast.

( My tools are made of steel, right? I will use one of them to make the fire. The pickaxe. )

I try to craft a shovel from wood. Y'know, for digging.

Fine, I'll allow it, but this time only!

You do so, and discover FireCraft! (1 XP FireCraft). The dog-scorpion jumps out of the way, and you set the other tree ablaze. What now?

(things like tool belts, backpacks, and armor go into the Equipment stat, not clothes. You are wearing clothes, though, so don't think that I'm sending you off into the wilderness, naked, lol)

What do you do first?

You managed to find some flint in a pile of rocks, but no steel. You also gather some branches. What now?
