Welcome to my page and my newest attempt at a pinned post!
My name's Gem and I write, draw and suffer through programming to see my ideas come to fruition. For all my complaining, I actually enjoy programming, I just wish it were easier to learn it all faster.
I write, read and draw a lot. It's what I enjoy.
Here are links to my current projects:
Accessories to Murder: a fashionable murder mystery game
Memories of Aether: a fantasy-thriller in a complex world
The Case Files of Scarlet Rose: an urban mystery full of magic
Quincy & Dance, Foresight Detectives: a timeloop game about jumping into bodies
Toyhou.se
ArtFight
Ko-Fi
I read lots of mysteries and fantasy books. Mysteries tend to be shorter, so I go through a lot but I pick up fantasy books every now and again.
My favourite book series are:
☛ The Karla Trilogy by John le Carre
☛ Chronicles of Brother Cadfael by Ellis Peters
☛ Lord Peter Wimsey by Dorothy L. Sayers
☛ Commissario Ricciardi by Maurizio de Giovanni
☛ Inspector Montalbano by Andrea Camillieri
☛ Servant of the Crown by Denise Domning
☛ Bradecote and Catchpoll by Sarah Hawkswood
☛ Inspector Kindaichi by Seishi Yokomizo
☛ Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
☛ Templar Knight Mysteries by Maureen Ash
☛ Murder in the Deccan by Shylashri Shankar
I don't watch as much as I read but I get recommendations from my sisters who do watch more than me. I still like my mystery shows and can find something of worth even in the bad ones. Anime is something I get a lot of variety from and I enjoy a lot more than I've written here because I can't think on the spot.
My favourite TV Shows & anime are:
☛ Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
☛ Cadfael
☛ Lord Peter Wimsey (both)
☛ Maigret (60's and 2010's)
☛ Cribb
☛ Hinterland
☛ Death Valley
☛ Ludwig
☛ Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators
☛ New Tricks
☛ Tiger & Bunny
☛ Blue Exorcist / Ao no Exorcist
☛ Erased / Boku dake ga Inai Machi
☛ The Promised Neverland / Yakusoku no Neverland
☛ From the New World / Shinsekai Yori
☛ The Witch and the Beast / Majo to Yaju
☛ In/Spectre / Kyoko Suiri
☛ Kiss Him, No Me! / Watashi ga Motete Dousunda
☛ My Dress-Up Darling / Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o suru
For game genres, I like a lot. I play a bunch of co-op stuff with my sisters but for the solo games, it's gonna be RPGs of some variety or visual novels that interest me (esp. otome games).
My favourite games are:
☛ Reverse 1999
☛ Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
☛ Suikoden II
☛ Skies of Arcadia
☛ Fire Emblem (Thracia, Elibe, Magvel, Tellius, Fates, Fodlan)
☛ The King of Fighters
☛ The Last Blade
☛ Sinking City
☛ Vampyr
☛ Alpha Protocol
☛ Batman: Arkham Asylum & Arkham City
☛ Gnosia
☛ Miles Edgeworth: Ace Investigations 2
☛ Collar x Malice
☛ Piofiore
My current obsession is Reverse 1999 and I don't see this changing. I love the story, the characters and the general worldbuilding. I've only been playing for a few months but if anyone wants to add me, feel free!!
