In this game you have to survive (Well more like do well enough to be able to build awesome stuff out of leftovers.) on an island.
The island has trees (brown), plants (dark green), boulders (gray) and another island next to it.
1 square is about 1 square meter.
You crashed in here with your boat (and for some reason you won't ever want to leave).
The boat has the power to generate new people with various talents. (Character creation.)

Skills: (5 levels for spending across them all. Level 15 is max. LVL1=1˛XP, LVL2=2˛XP, LVL3=3˛XP and so on. XP can of course be earned by doing that job. You can do the job even with no XP in it but the result will just be worse.)

Doing activities and just waiting around increases your hunger and thirst. Eating and drinking of course reduces it. Your boat has 3 liters of water, 10 fruit and 5 pieces of meat. You lose HP by starving, dehydrating or hurting yourself.

If you want, you can ask me to draw similarly pixelated pictures of stuff up closer. The images are only for decoration and for better understanding what is where and how.
You can learn about stuff through trial and error (Or success too actually.) or by asking me. Be prepared for surprises and don't be afraid to try different things. There are no actual set rules so almost anything can happen. But most importantly of all, have fun!

Spoiler: My diary (More like a log of stuff done on the island.) (click to show/hide)

Day 1:     Seems like four people came out of the boat. Let's see how they can handle what I've created here. I've got quite a few surprises set up for them. I might as well grant them a little knowledge to amuse me more. They seem to be starting to get busy.
Day 2:    Yet another person exited the boat. I think they are starting to achieve something.
Day 3:    Seems like someone failed at making an axe... And they are also trying to make a fire. Took them a while to get it done.
Day 4:    Another hammerlike axe was made today. Along with a lot more bricks. For some reason I also feel like someone is trying to break the rules of life. I don't like that.
Day 5:    Now would you look at that. It seems they are beginning to care for each other. How sweet. I shouldn't actually blame them. Teamwork is needed here. Fighting hunger, avoiding thirst and trying to survive in other ways is best done in a group. With everyone doing what they do best.
Day 6:    Some people seem to be inactive. Are they just lazy or are they going to wait until hunger and/or thirst kills them? Seems they have made shelter for themselves. Just in time too. A night or two more outside and they're going to get sick. One of them went on a tree chopping spree, built a cabin and got sick.

Thank you for joining. You can start giving commands to your characters now. I'll even give you a few tips on what and how to do.
You're going to need an axe to chop down trees, a pick to mine boulders and make mines into the ground, shovel to dig dirt. You already have usable wood from the remains of your boat. You can't use an entirely wooden axe or pick. It has to be at least stone. A wooden shovel is OK though. You can pick edible stuff from plants. The lake water is mostly OK to drink. You could start with a shelter perhaps. It's gonna go off of your health after a while if you sleep outside. Don't forget to try loads of stuff. Pretty much anything is buildable. I can already imagine the huge buildings and machines that are going to be on this island.

[dwarfguy2]

Do we start with any tools?

[ottottott]

Nope... (If you don't count your basic clothes as tools.) See what you can figure out. Think what you would do in real life. I haven't listed smaller objects on the map but they're still there. Hope this helps.

"Pleased to meetcha, Sir Reg!"

I look around for something clay-like, and if i find any, i start trying to make bricks, setting them out on boulders to harden. I Make a pile of it beside the boat using a plank as a shovel

Search for vines, and weave them between two relatively close to each other trees. Sleep in makeshift hammock for a bit.

There's only dirt covered with grass here, there and everywhere. A plank as a shovel does work though.

I'm sorry I can't really let you make a new skill for yourself. I put them in engineering for now as IMO it's very similar to what you meant. You may rearrange your skills if you want. I see why you wanted to use such a skill though. It was the only skill I strongly considered putting in but didn't.

You find no vines or two trees close enough to use. You could use some grass or leaves to make a rope like thing. Oh, and you automatically sleep at night unless you have ordered differently. (Night happens when night happens for me. If you actually want to plan according to it then my timezone is GMT+2.)

[Hubris Incalculable]

I mix 5 parts dirt, 2 parts grass, and 1 parts water to make a brick-making substance, then form bricks out of it, putting them on boulders to dry.

[dwarfguy2]

Hmm. Then i take one of the smaller rocks and a stick, and using a combination of mud and spit, glue them together into a pick.
