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...

I continue jumping from tree to tree until I'm at a safe distance. Then I will sit somewhere and wait until dawn. No more sleeping this night.

Had just remembered that part of the my original post, lol, so it might not be getting much lighter. Sorry about that.

You do so. You can still see the light from the fires. What now?

The mountain is on the edge of the planetoid. If you tried that, you'd fall off.

I heat the metallic stone up and then i try to shape it in the form of a knife and i attach it a branch if that doesn't work i just use a normal stone in the process.

(the cavemen heated the stone up before they worked it so it would more efficient)

You try doing so, but the metal gets too hot for you to hold. You'll need to craft a container of some kind for it to melt. What now?

I'l sleep, but lightly. If the fire comes too close, I will flee.

Then, at morning, I'l get to the burned down part of the forest. Some coal may be useful.

You do so. You create a Wooden Shovel! When you create a new tool from a certain resources, say, wood, you'll recieve 5 XP to the skill that represents wood the most, which would be WoodCraft. You begin to dig, and dig up a large amount of dirt, which is sitting next to the wood chips you made while shaping the items for the shovel. What now?

You do so. When you wake up, the fire is out, but a neighboring tree was caught in it. None of your tree was burned, thankfully. What now?

(Diggy diggy hole! )
I then try to shape the dirt into walls, leaving a space for a soon-to-be door. My new house...after that, I go back to the woods and chop down another tree with my Axe.
