This month was mostly research, because I was devoting all of my programming energy to another project.
- Read "Sherlock Holmes's London."
- Mapped out Watson's downtime actions and shopping based on its contents.
- Listened to and took notes on all the stories in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."
- Designed two cases: one based on the "Red Headed League" and one on "Scandal in Bohemia" to introduce Irene.
- Designed a case based on the fact that green wallpaper contains arsenic.
- Wrote Moriarty's intro.
A handful of important things I discovered:
In 'The Sign of the Four', Holmes describes a pretty cloud, saying it looks like a flamingo feather. It is adorable.
There is a story called 'The Blue Carbuncle' where Holmes and Watson go on a literal wild goose chase. It is Christmas themed.
There was a very lovely line in 'A Case of identity' about how the minor malfunctions of typewriters make them as individual as fingerprints.
Also commissioned art of Irene Norton. Here she is:
