Who am I? I'm Gem. I don't talk much but I'm working on my game and my book. Game first, then book.
What's the game? It's called Accessories to Murder and it's a murder mystery game. I'm incredibly passionate about mysteries and crafting good ones. I have a whole document that I wrote up just dedicated to what I think makes a good mystery. I'm also really interested in game mechanics that can draw players in and allow them to put clues together without spelling things out. I love sprites so the game's gonna be 2D and err on the cute side.
Here's some graphics & character designs. Stay tuned for more.
I've got around 100 characters planned. Some might not make the cut, others might get squished into another character. It's a hard business.
Forget the game, what about the book? The book's one of a series. Memories of Aether, first book is tentatively called Shadow Elements. It is a spy-thriller fantasy because I absolutely love spy fiction and wanted to employ espionage in my fantasy world... and so naturally it snowballed. The worldbuilding has improved greatly thanks to my single-minded desire and I regret nothing.
I've got a MASSIVE world map, full of countries I've got plans for and countries that I'm leaving alone for future-me to play with. I always like to leave room for future-me to work some magic. As long as you have an idea of what a thing is and how it can be used, you should always leave room from magic.
And here are my lads. A ragtag bunch and oh, one of them is working against you... have fun guessing.
It'd be great to be included in tag games and the like, but I don't take part in the ones I'm not interested in. I like ones about character voices and story inspirations, not so much ones about headcanons and goofy AUs.
That's it. That's all I got.
