I loved this demo, the story is really interesting and the characters too. I'm looking forward to play the rest, in the meantime I guess I'll just replay it making all the choices
It's good so far, only the "loading screens of blackness" are really destroying immersion since it suddenly cuts of the story and music out of nowhere.
from what i was able to play from the demo, it seems super interesting and im in love with the voice acting (especially lucas' and gilbert's lol,, also, jonah scott as Sabre???!! oML im living), the art is beautiful and the story is amazing! (it felt different not being the trope like most VNs, i like it).
for now though, i think i'll be waiting for full game release, or possibly a bug fix? it's an amazing game, im happy there's VNs who let you choose the gender of protag (which im starting to run low on bc im waiting on most of them for their next chapter in the next month or so), but there's a couple of issues with loading, volume and stuff like that. and my game kept freezing on my choice of what to say during this certain interaction between MC, Lucas and Kitsune; only the music played on.
im excited to see what the full game looks like, or the demo if theres a bug fix!
I did the demo and look forward to the release of the game, especially meeting Nathaniel. Im curious to see their adventures and how our decisions impact the story line. The only thing that bothers me is that for some reason it hurts my eyes and feels like theirs a grey film over everything. I think it may be due to the brush strokes being softer but Im not sure.
Hi. Played the demo and it got me hooked. There are a few minor issues though. Sometimes I can only click on the text box and not anywhere else in the window if I want to continue the text. Sometimes I can click outside the box to continue and sometimes I can't. Also, in the Estelle teaser, Harrision yells "There you are. Gaurds, they're in here!" 3 times. Also, the speed controls and the volume controls aren't working for me. They don't increase nor decrease. Lucas is the best btw. Love all the characters already.
I just figured out how the speed controls work. Just drag from the very end of the of the slider. I didn't read the list of bugs that the game has above. The other problems are still there though. For some reason, the skip button doesn't work, yet I've seen playthroughs of the demo where it does. I don't know why. : (
Hiiiiii I downloaded the demo and I'm loving it <3 I just wanted to report a little bug that I've been encountering: Almost every time I try to load an old save the game gets stuck right on the 'are you sure you want to load?' window.
I love the diverse set of characters, the art, and the voice casting. I'm not sure if it's intended, but I found some humorous moments here and there, such as Kitsune's gentle voice contrasting with what she's saying. ("You can't get rid of me that easily." "I like him. Can we keep him?") And it's pretty cool how Sabre's not only flirtatious, but very merchant-like as well. His sales hooks killed me.
(Also, I'm shipping multiple characters lol. Amaris with Kitsune, Kitsune with Sabre, Sabre with the MC, the MC with Lucas. Probably the only ones I don't ship are Amaris with Sabre/Lucas.)
This is such a great game, the character designs and personalities are amazing, the graphics are beautiful, the story line is interesting. I can't wait until this game is fully done !
And I know what tier I want (S$ 75, to have beta access), but I have a doubt. In the kicstarter the type of currency is S$ while in paypa you are asked for it in RM...
And I admit that I am a little uneducated on this subject, not to say that my type of money is the Euro (€)...
For the tier of S$ 75, how much and what kind of money should I transfer in your paypal?
I loved it! All the characters are great. I'm a winner in life, so I was late for kickstarter( *cry* Tell me, please, are there any plans for the future release of the game in steam? I'm sorry if you answered the question earlier.
I love the idea going on, and I really want to play the demo, but my computer won't open it. whether I double-click or manually open it, I always get this Finder message:
Any ideas for what might be causing this?? when i pick that little question mark on the corner it gives me no info so i'm a bit confused on what's not letting it open. This happens with both the 32 and 64 bit versions, and my computer is a Mac if that helps.
Nevermind, I figured out the problem, the program unpacking the zip file was messing it up.
If anyone experiences issues with getting internet-downloaded games to run, find a computer app called 'The Unarchiver' and install and use it to open the zip files. I do this now and it works for a variety of different itch.io games.
I stumbled across this game looking for a different game. I was thinking about playing this game and installed it. I love it so much! I can't wait to play what other games you make next.
This game is amazing so far! I love Lucas so much, ngl. The voice acting is really well done, some of the best I've seen in english VNs! The different accents add so much to the story and characters, thanks for your hard work, can't wait until the full thing comes out.
What little I've seen of the Demo looks absolutely amazing. :)
However... I've only been able to play maybe 10 mins of it because certain controls started becoming unresponsive (I'd have to click 10-15 times before they'd respond, sometimes not at all) and when I finally got back into the game (from a Save) it completely froze up.
Also had a window pop-up with "Are you sure? Yes/No" when I tried to load a Save, and then everything froze up again.
My system specs are:
OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit) RAM: 16.0 GB CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8 GB GDDR5)
I'm having the same problem! I just started and this happened, I wish the creator responded to your post. I'll try downloading the 32 bit version bit I don't know if it would work.
This is lovely on many different levels. The music is pleasant, the sprites are cute, the backgrounds are vibrant, the animation is unexpected, but somehow works. Not much to comment on with the story, atm, but there is potential.
The demo is a little wobbly, though. I keep getting paired up with both Amaris and Sabre at the same time, with the same situations playing out 2 times in a row, Sabre 1st, then Amaris, ending with their sprites overlapping. Also, after peeking at Gilbert's route preview we're given a choice to watch Estelle's, and it plays regardless of whether yes or no is picked.
It shows promise and the artstyle is good but the UI feels a bit too unresponsive at times. Things like trying to input our name (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it adds a character I didn't press), most buttons in the options screen don't work at all, clicking the confirmation button to load a save occasionally freezes my game, etc.
Just in case it's needed, here are my specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6MHz RAM: 16GB GPU: Radeon 480 4GB OS: Win10 64x
i love the artstyle: very detailed , wonderful and animated sprites (or these are 3d models acting like 2d sprites?) , nice backgrounds and very good cgs, well-done voice-acting
a lot of interesting and different characters. Plus romance. My favourite is Kitsune
whats the engine is this game created on?
interesting plot and lore. I'm waiting for more. Good luck with finishing project and patching bugs
I love this game. I’ve been playing video games since I was 2 years old. I don’t think any of the professional games have ever made me like them this much. Move over Mario and Sonic, there’s a better game on the horizon.
Silver:Line is sooo good! I never like to cough up money. I always just download free mobile games or demos. But, I really want this game to be fully developed. So I’m willing to pay money.
I just love this game so much. I loved the characters, story, interactions, voice actors/actresses and beautiful graphics. Please, pretty please, do finish the game some day. I don’t care how long it takes. I will patiently wait.
I am sorry to you tell the developers that the demo does not work on my pc i have tried windows bit 32 and 64 exrected and run but it all stop at the start up screen (black screen) and it stays that way
and in the task manager when i run the game three or four of the game application is shown that is open
and after i tried to delete the game (just delete) there is this file (SilverLine_windows32or64bit_1.8.7/Silverline/resources/Live2D/Amaris_Cloak.) that says could not find this item but the file there just can't do anything about it is that a bug or a virus having some trouble with that file please do give me solution for that i don't wana formet my pc just for that file
Hi there! Just dropping by to say I absolutely LOVED the game! The story is well-set and all the characters create an incredibly charming group of people who were brought together by fate, it seems :D Still, I'm sure you could work on some bits to make the game even better! :) First of all, the story feels somewhat... rushed at times? Is it because it's a demo, or is everything really as "easy" as it seems? I mean the main plotline's tempo only, everything else is great, but I just couldn't help but get the feeling that the game skipped some content and is already ending although I've barely started it! And it creates a sense of longing because the game is SO GOOD and I WANT MORE hahah :D Apart from that, I have one more thing to suggest... See, Sabre is absolutely stunning and I love his character and personality and my gosh I'm melting already just thinking about him BUT. Somehow his sprite seems a bit off. I think it has to do with the head-to-body ratio, and with how his torso looks. A bit wide, may I say? ^^; His head looks tiny and girlish in comparison. And his abs (hey, you show, I watch, don't judge me XD) also seem to be drawn in a rush. I'm sure if you could work on him just a bit everyone (me included...) would drool over him even more! :D Next up, just a tip. The music you're using? Is very mainstream, let's be honest hahah. It's used in a lot of otome games and I think your game deserves something more unique! Since the quality is better than most such games (at least I think so), the music should be so too! There are a lot of websites with other copyright-free music and it's likely you'd find enchanted and beautiful tracks there which will fit your game wonderfully. If you need help finding these I'm here for you! :) Still, it's something that will make the game more charming, but is not something that HAS TO be done because I know how time-consuming game-making is already! Last of all, I'm just gonna say... I've never heard such good voice acting in any other non-commercial otome. In fact, your game may exceed commercial ones, even! So I'd love for you guys to be able to include full voice acting instead of partial one :D It really adds a whole new dimension to these lovely characters! Now, how likely is it that you may implement voicing for all characters, for the entire game? I'd love to know to set my expectations for once the full game releases because I'm absolutely playing it ;) Either way, I love the setting, love the characters, love the overall artstyle, love the atmosphere, love the lore. It shows that a lot of time was spent on polishing the game bit by bit! Except for what I mentioned I really can't spot any other issues, I'm completely hooked on this game and impatient to play it as soon as possible! Love you guys and your work, it's amazing! Best of luck on your way!
I'm afraid you've misunderstood. Kickstarter is a site used to create campaigns to financially support several kinds of projects, including Silver:Line. This indicates that this is an actual demo of the game, which is currently being developed.
I liked what little I could play of it; but it kept freezing at every scene transition, and I'd often get stuck on menus where the buttons wouldn't do anything. I really wanted to play more, but it was getting near impossible to continue...
Hey there! Oh no! So sorry to hear about the freezes. Do you think you can provide us with more info? What build were you on? And what specs are your PC?
I was on the build 1.8.7, as for my PC's specs, I'm afraid I don't know. I'm not really a tech-savvy person. but I did try again and was able to get through it this time, it was very good!
Art, CG and the voice acting was A class. Usually I cringe when I hear voice actors on VN that are not Japanese, because they sound pretty awkward and unprofessional (cant blame them), but here it sounds very fitting. Granted it's no Japanese professionally train VA, but it's pretty goddamn well made for a game that popped outta nowhere.
The moving animation was just purely amazingly. I noticed the animation tried to match with the voice of the actors initially as well. Not just that the game also have a range of expression for the main characters as well and each was placed appropriately depend on the scenario.
The CG and transition between character dialogues are smooth. The CG itself is so very well made and I noticed one particular transition in the beginning when it turned from day to night. That was very fluid and I almost felt like I was watching an anime for a second.
Gender definitely plays a big role in how the characters react to you and it's not just a generic switching of pronouns so big kudo to that. The choices you make also create different situation. I can definitely feel a change in my MC when I pick certain choices that trigger her emotions like anger or creating conflicts so they aren't kidding when they say your choices make your story.
Overall this is definitely the best VN I've played. Not sure plot wise but the amount of effort that was made into the game CG, voice actors and animation is definitely top class.
I do have a complaint regarding the key setting. I wish I can hide the textbox to look at the CG sometime and since this dont look like it was made with RenPy some of the normal key button is not the same. Such as the save function, quick save, load and quick load arent as accessible because there are no hotkey or when you press esc it doesnt exactly pop out the menu UI for you. This is especially inconvenient because you cant scroll with your mouse wheel and remake your choices (because once again this is not your normal 2D VN they have animations and VA). So once you make them it's permanent unless you load your save. Keep in mind there's also no auto save so you have to remember to save whenever you think you played long enough. So far that's my only complaint. The game mechanic itself, but definitely would pay 40 dollars or more for this VN if I get to play the full game and it has interesting plot.
Thank you for writing a such a long message to us! This put such a big smile on us and we can't wait to show you even more stuff we have in store for you.

I tried the demo on mac os catalina; and really love it. cant wait to have the full game. the story is intriguing.
I loved this demo, the story is really interesting and the characters too. I'm looking forward to play the rest, in the meantime I guess I'll just replay it making all the choices
I can't open the game for some reason? It says that I don't have the access to open it :(( does anyone know how to fix that?
It's good so far, only the "loading screens of blackness" are really destroying immersion since it suddenly cuts of the story and music out of nowhere.

im excited to see what the full game looks like, or the demo if theres a bug fix!
The game is kinda laggy sometimes, BUT ITS STILL SO FREAKIN GOOD!!! So sad its a demo, hope to see the full thing someday!!! UwU's and OwO's to you!
I did the demo and look forward to the release of the game, especially meeting Nathaniel. Im curious to see their adventures and how our decisions impact the story line. The only thing that bothers me is that for some reason it hurts my eyes and feels like theirs a grey film over everything. I think it may be due to the brush strokes being softer but Im not sure.
Is this project dropped? This game looks really good.
I dont think so because they mentioned on May 4th that they were facing some problems but were still doing it on kickstarter...

Omg the fact that you can choose your gender I- 😭 I love this already
Is the full game released yet?
not yet, the dev said in kickstarter that the release will be delayed until november 2021 or february 2022 so we'll just have to wait then:(
oh poo :(
Show post...
I wonder about that since their last update is Dec 2019, it late April 2020 already and not even a update? Seriously?
me too :( im really looking forward to this game. but we'll just have to wait i guess :((
Show post...
It May 2022 and still no update... I knew it.
Hello! I've been wondering, are you going to create a version for Android users to download the game? (APK)
Hello will the full version be free for the public or it would be paid one ?
Show post...
Obviously it will be commerical if it release
I love the diverse set of characters, the art, and the voice casting. I'm not sure if it's intended, but I found some humorous moments here and there, such as Kitsune's gentle voice contrasting with what she's saying. ("You can't get rid of me that easily."

This is such a great game, the character designs and personalities are amazing, the graphics are beautiful, the story line is interesting. I can't wait until this game is fully done !
I found this in the kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/codev/silver-line/posts/2605846
https://www.paypal.me/yuunay
And I know what tier I want (S$ 75, to have beta access), but I have a doubt.
In the kicstarter the type of currency is S$ while in paypa you are asked for it in RM...
And I admit that I am a little uneducated on this subject, not to say that my type of money is the Euro (€)...
For the tier of S$ 75, how much and what kind of money should I transfer in your paypal?
I have played it and I have been absolutely fascinated and in love with your game.
The art is beautiful, the story interesting, and the endearing characters further increase the enjoyment of the game.
The only thing I regret is missing the kickstarter, and losing the opportunity to buy rewards or beta access.
I still have those options available?
(I can pay)
I loved it! All the characters are great. I'm a winner in life, so I was late for kickstarter( *cry* Tell me, please, are there any plans for the future release of the game in steam? I'm sorry if you answered the question earlier.

I absolutely love this game! My only regret was that I found it too late in order to donate to the Kickstarter :(
Ah! Since the campaign was unsuccessful! We are planning on relaunching next week >w< would be great to see your support
Thats great! I'll be sure to look for it!
The page was uploaded with a link to the new Kickstarter :)

Such a great game I wasn't expecting the 3d-ness but it worked well!!
Anticipating Gilbert's route, liked him from the very beginning :3
Excited to see where this game is going; but the settings related to Speed and Sound doesn't work. Have tried to reinstall the game, no dice...
Hey there, drag it across from the very end :) not clicking it.
Hi, do you plan to implement voices for protagonists male and female ?
This is a great work thanks
I'm afraid not. TwT Most players will enjoy giving their own headcanon voices to their MC.
there is a Silver:line game in kickstarter and take your time to make a game?
I'm afraid you've misunderstood. Kickstarter is a site used to create campaigns to financially support several kinds of projects, including Silver:Line. This indicates that this is an actual demo of the game, which is currently being developed.

I wish I can hide the textbox to look at the CG sometime and since this dont look like it was made with RenPy some of the normal key button is not the same. Such as the save function, quick save, load and quick load arent as accessible because there are no hotkey or when you press esc it doesnt exactly pop out the menu UI for you. This is especially inconvenient because you cant scroll with your mouse wheel and remake your choices (because once again this is not your normal 2D VN they have animations and VA). So once you make them it's permanent unless you load your save. Keep in mind there's also no auto save so you have to remember to save whenever you think you played long enough. So far that's my only complaint. The game mechanic itself, but definitely would pay 40 dollars or more for this VN if I get to play the full game and it has interesting plot.
