The Silver Case - 20% off

Hi all On October 7th 1999, The Silver Case original game was released. Exactly 17 years later, The Silver Case Remastered for PC was released on October 7th, 2016. The journey had been a long and challenging one, filled with hopes, disappointments and challenges along the way. The Silver Case in English was a dream that SUDA51 always held, and finally came into fruition. The Silver Case Documentary follows the story of the creation of The Silver Case HD Remaster through the events PAX West 2016 and Tokyo Game Show 2016. Important members of the original The Silver Case team and the HD remaster team talk about the creation as the fan’s voices join in to talk about the anticipation for the game. You can watch the 20 minute documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLgQbDtBSp4 We have also updated The Silver Case to include Trading Cards, the designers are from the artist behind the character designs; Miyamoto. In addition we have also fixed the following: ・Fixed the mouse control bug. We hope that you keep enjoying The Silver Case, and that you enjoy the documentary!

Hi All We have a few updates for you today. First, we have released the Mac Version of The Silver Case. [img=https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/playism/NOT-PLAYISM/blogpostextras/TheSilverCase/thesilvercasetitle.gif] We have also added/fixed the following in both versions:

We're very happy now that The Silver Case is available to you, the fans! I hope you will find it a unique and satisfying experience! Making a game is a difficult and complex process, and I want to take this devlog as a chance to say thank you to everyone involved along the way. The development team, especially the lead programmer Yuki Yamazaki and lead 3D designer Shunsuke Takahashi, that has worked on the Silver Case HD remaster deserves more credit than I do for all of their hard work and effort in ensuring that you guys get a great game experience! Modern games are made of complex interactions between a variety of moving parts, from code functions and scripts, to sound effects and music, as well as input from the players. It has been said in many places that games don't really come together until right before the end, but what that means is that all the moving parts get the most polish right at the end. This is a difficult and, quite often, stressful process to make sure that both technical and creative requirements are met while a deadline looms ever closer. The team that made The Silver Case HD remaster have been champions, working hard every day to give the game the best polish they could. I'd also like to thank the PR team for their hard work as well; without them, you guys might not have heard about the project in the first place! So please keep up the pace, and maybe send a few more tweets, guys, please? Give the PR team a little breathing room! And finally, let me give my thanks to SUDA51 and his team at Grasshopper Manufacture. They have stood behind us every step of the way to help us to ensure that what we were making was a Grasshopper Manufacture experience in every way. It has been a great learning experience, so thank you very much! We are now, of course, working on the OS X version that has been promised, and will be released in just a few weeks from now. We look forward to supporting everyone to the best of our ability. Regards, Douglas Watt & The Silver Case Team ≪　DevLog 5

Today I'd like to go over the "Film Window" system, why it's important, and provide some basic info about how it works. The 1990s was a boom for text-driven games across many different genres. From RPGs to point-and-click adventure games–text ruled the 1990s. The problem with that is text is static, and can be visually boring to present. This was enhanced by the fact that digital displays in the 1990s were definitely harder to read than printed text.
Grasshopper Manufacture's solution to this problem was the "Film Window". If you think of every object on screen as an individual element, a director would want to move things around as he sees fit. So by treating text, 2D elements, and 3D elements as individual parts, it would now be possible to move those elements freely and give the game director more control over the screen.
It was thanks to this Film Window system that SUDA51 was able exert directorial control over the whole screen’s layout, without limiting himself to game info/gameplay on top and text on the bottom. Now 2D, 3D, and text elements could all be layered and shifted around in a single scene to enhance the drama through presentation. While other directors were beginning to develop similar ideas around the same time, The Silver Case was a major influence on the Japanese market, and SUDA51 continued to refine it in his next two titles, Flower, Sun, and Rain and killer7.
The Film Window system is controlled by a complex scripting system. The script gives control over both element location and timing within each scene. Window elements are not just visual, but include music, sound effects, text boxes, name indicators, 2D images, 3D scene camera, location indicators, and more. Music can be started and stopped easily; images displayed, moved, and then hidden as quickly as the director wants. As it is a scripting language, it is more feasible for creative, non-programmers to edit scenes, allowing scene editing to proceed at a decent pace without using up precious programming time. In the HD remaster, this script is functionally similar to the original PS1 version: our lead programmer, Yamazaki-san, was able to write a conversion script that took the PS1 version of the Film Window script and make it readable in the Unity version of the game. This is how we were able to start development earlier this year and still expect to release this year: we didn't need to recreate the scripts! Instead, we are spending time reviewing the HD remaster version against the PS1 version to ensure that no scripting elements or timings were lost during the script conversion process. ≪　DevLog 4　｜　[url=http://steamcommunity.com/games/476650/announcements/detail/586982932381368469]DevLog 6　≫
