You're probably confusing hiragana ろ (ro) and る (ru), by the way. – oals Jan 22 '16 at 19:36

Naaa it's volitional form. It is meant to be つくろう – Gidday Jan 24 '16 at 2:00

I was commenting on how you seemed to parse it as つくる + うと + している and it made sense only if you misread the ろ as a る – oals Jan 24 '16 at 11:49
This is parsed as 作ろう + とする.
作ろう is the volitional form of 作る. When this form is combined with とする, it gives a meaning of try to do. The -ている makes it present progressive.
作ろうとしている = To be trying to create
