Hearth & Holmes changes
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:
