Game Quest

In January 1822 Stephen . F. Austin settled 300 families in his colony named after him , Austin Colony. of Texas on the lower of Colorado/Brazos. Back in the day there were many challenges that the settlers faced. One main thing was the food that they ate. They ate things like dried vegetables and dried meat throughout the most part of the year. Imagine doing that ? . One main thing was also the housing that they lived in , they lived in log cabins and made rock structures of about 1 or 2 rooms. Even the mattress's that they used were made out of  corn husk\moss. Life wasn't as easy as it is now , I mean can you imagine living life that way ? That's why your goal for this game is to step in the shoes of the settlers back in the day and go through what they did in regards to working , eating , living and just being there. I want you to be able to feel what was it really like and go through the experience. Your mission will be to first choose a family to be part of , this will be an actual family that was settled in Austin's colony. After that you will be given the level of going to gather the necessary tools to help out to build your house. There will be objects like wood , moss , boards that you will need to collect to build your house. Keep in  mind that there are going to be things that you will need to avoid like tools that we use now to build a house. You will be given the challenge of collecting tools but also being able to resist not to choose the other ones that are more helpful.
This is one of the many challenges that you are going to face , others will consist of the food that you are going to eat and the environment that will surround you and your reaction to it.
Good Luck on it !
