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...

Name:
Age:
Gender:
----------------
Equipment: (backpacks, armor, etc, it's simply what you wear)
Tools: Axe, Pick Axe, Hammer, Chisel
Inventory: [Anything that you collect/make that doesn't go anywhere else goes here] (0/10)
Supplies: [anything you have that is craftable] (0/10)
----------------
Skills:
WoodCraft: 1
StoneCraft: 1
MetalCraft: 1
MachineCraft: 1

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...

Until I find leather the spear point should work as a good knife.
I look around for animals.

It'd be more of a wood spike than an actual knife, but whatever, xD. You look around for animals, and you see what might be a squirrel running in the distance. What now?

I'm looking for cows and larger animals that cant run as fast as squirrels, so I pass it by and keep looking.

You do so. You finally reach the edge of the planetoid, where the object seems to have smashed into a stone. The stone is glowing red, and the object is embedded in it. What now?

You do so, but as you go past the squirrel, you see a disturbing detail: the squirrel has four eyes, every single one of them pitch black. What now?

I firstly observe my environment. If possible, I head up to mountains or at least hills with trees around.
During I search, I try to find a relative solid branch and carve the tip to get a basic spear / lever.

Oh hell no that squirrel is freaky. I stare at its beady, little, pitch-black eyes, then stab at it with the wood spike, holding my chisel up as a secondary weapon just in case it leaps at me. A chisel would make a decent stabbing tool.

You try doing so, but it jumps out of the way. It narrows it's eyes, and hisses at you, and that's then you notice another disturbing detail: Unlike a normal squirrel, who's mouth opens and closes vertically, this...thing's mouth opens and closes horizontally...and it has fangs...

DIE YOU EVIL ALIEN SQUIRREL AGGHHHH. I stab again and again at the squirrel, then just start swinging wildly with my hammer, hoping to clock it.
