Day 3

I woke up in the middle of the night because a strange noise...I slowly approached the door and a large black spider with glowing red eyes lunged at me, I jumped back and grabbed a stick to defend myself from the attacker. It couldn't get in and it took a while to kill it but I managed.


I carefully peered out for anymore of the over sized beasts, all clear, I don't think I could handle a whole pack of them.


Later on in the day I cleared the trees out the front of my house to give me a better view. Too bad there's a giant cliff behind them. I may have to relocate my house to another area, on higher ground.


None the less, I started expanding the house, not too much just a little extra space.


I went for a little walk and found some coal and what looked like iron ore. I'll come back tomorrow and mine these but for now it's getting dark best head back.


I was very unaware that this island was inhabited by aggressive monsters like that. I'm gonna need to make some to defend myself, a sword or...something and I'm gonna have to keep a lock on the door. Where exactly am I?!

Day 2

I woke up as the sun dawned over ready for a brand new day and a lot of work.



I started work on a basement under my house, giving me a bit more space and possibly a place to try find some ores, I'm gonna need them.



I found some coal under my house! this is great this stuff has a lot of uses and should be very handy but there wasn't much of it.



Oh and I managed to build myself a worktable and and chest by slapping some wood together. I should be able to make some pretty good tools and store some of mu belongings in the chest.




That's it for today, I think I'll just relax and try figure out a way to get myself off this island...I should be able to support myself for now but I'll have to start a signal fire or something. Then again a signal fire might be far too dangerous with all these trees around, I'm going to have to think carefully before I do something stupid.

Day 1



The Island is completely covered in trees and I have no idea where I originally crashed.

This is all I could manage with the wood from the ship it shouldn't be too hard to improve however, especially with all these trees around.



I found a few pigs wandering around for some food...it should keep me going for a little while longer.



It's very hard to work with my hands all the time, If I want to get anywhere I'm going to need some tools but the materials I have now are hard to work with. I'm planning to make a work table of some kind. I'll worry about that tomorrow. Night is falling.



I also built a wooden tower on top of my hut to help me find my way back if I ever get lost, It will have to do for now, until I can think of a better way, or even memorize this island.



I think it's just about time to turn in tonight, I'm rather tired. Lots of work tomorrow too.

Introduction

I was on a boat, headed for an island to see a friend of mine. There were large storm clouds ahead of us and I was told to be ready for a rather rough ride. I had absolutely no idea what I was in for. The waves battered the sides of the boat, there was a loud crack then everything went black.

I struggled to get up with my head throbbing like crazy. It was hard to think and I can barely remember anything. It was dawn and the boat was in wreckage with few flames, which I assume must have been the thunder. I gathered as much of the wreckage as I could and kept some of the fire burning.

I managed to build myself a small wooden shelter and a few torches for some light. Amongst the wreckage I found some of my luggage, just a camera and this book and a video camera which hopefully I'll be able to get working soon.
