Hild till the end.
>App icon finally changed back to Yoom after years of cycling through other charactersIt was a sign.
I'm afraid there's no next beyond this end...
I'm really going to miss these sprites. 3D games just can't compare, all that fine detail is a feast for the eyes.
>>2003726it's always somebody's birthdaywhat's funnier to me is that Yoom has been told for years that they will explain to her what the fuck it means to be the Wolf and they only did so after she got de-wolfed>>2003734live2D is great, Star Savior does what it can with 3D but in the end it is still 3D, more expensive and less vibrant than live2D
>>2003734CS' art and designs were always stellar, but putting that specificity aside, it was only able to have such a big cast because it was a 2D game. 3D characters means way more work to have them because it's not just making a design and one portrait and letting people infer movements from the descriptions, they need to make a design, key 2D art, then model it in 3D, rig it, and animate it, it's a way bigger workload and you can already see how SS has a minuscule cast at launch compared to CS. There's just no way the scale is ever gonna compete when they don't have Mihomo money to burn through.
>>20037383D in Star Savior just doesn't cut it. Girls have huge boobs in 2D, but severely nerfed in 3D.
>>2003743The boob sizes in SS are just hugely inconsistent all over the place, even in different pieces of artwork.
Here's another example of how I don't see the same soul in SS. The government making an evacuation announcement while also just telling people to kill themselves. It's a beautiful edginess I miss.
Being edgy ≠ being soulful.
>>2003772It takes soul to know just the right amount of edge to make it still work without becoming silly.
>>2003742>and animate itand you can already feel the squeeze when it comes to animationsin theory once you have a 3D model making more poses should be cheaper since you only have to mess around with some bones instead of redrawing limbs or the entire body to fit a new posein practice after making the 3D model BSide doesn't have enough money over for many poses so all the characters have very few of themthe main girl Ashera has some really expressive poses that would work well in live2D but look very silly repeated over and over again in 3D especially since she has to slowly move into pose instead of being able to snap into it because these quick shorthand would feel jarring in 3D while they are fine in live2D>>2003766to be fair, early CS also took a while to find its tonealso damn, I don't remember Yoom having that much hip and ass, did she suck it all into her boobs?
Nice, they remembered that Counters have watches. I still can't think of an instance where it actually mattered and we saw a Counter run out of time though. Maybe it happened and I forgot?
Yes, most of the game turned out dogshit. But there were some real gems in there.Horizon finance deserved betterEddie and Orca deserved betterShepherd deserved betterAnd most of all, best wife Alex deserved better. She was by far my favorite and her guitar segments were kino.I haven't drawn in a long time after graduating and turning into a wageslave, but I might begin again just to keep some of them in existence somewhere.
>>2003787Bottom of the Shade, Rita ran out and turned into Ministrait's one of the really early side stories and they made sure to use it to actually show what happens when a watch runs out instead of just telling you it's bad
Was it ever mentioned who the gold skull was? Judging from that scene was it someone from Swans world maybe the detective? There were a few others in that background area they showed some girl I can't remember maybe it was her.
>>2003794wasn't it some monk specifically meditating and praying to become the gold skull and stop dimension meltdowns?
>>2003792Been too many years guess I forgot, but that was my favorite side story. I'll have to replay it before true eos.
>>2003796If it was I have no memory of that, I think I missed a few seasonal stories maybe it was in one of those.
Man this Omen story is long as fuck, I was hoping to catch up by monday but at this rate I doubt it's possible. I hope the last thread doesn't get fully archived before I get a chance to read it.
>>2003807I'm going to miss cunnyside.
>>2003823The Intelligent Mercenary has arrived, this ones going to be good.
>>2003833Speak of the devil >>2003683We really are getting a memberberry buffet.
>>2003837Member when Kyle was a reroll target, crazy to think that little wall he could summon was so OP back in the day.
>>2003845Man she's adorable, I hope she can avoid the fate of many of her kind.
>>2003856This is as far as I get tonight, time to go dream of better gacha days. See you bwos on the flip side.
i had fun bwos
damn, i saw it in passing. feels kinda bad now coutersharts, we did have some fun together. isn't there a countershart 2, some 3d slop?
>>2004070To use an explanation that will resonate with you, Star Savior is a sequel to Counterside in the same sense that Nimi is a sequel to Fauna.
It took a billion years, but i figured out how to render the animations in a browser.I have never seen the chibi eat animation before.
https://arca.live/b/starsavior/161710676?category=z&p=3>Laura and Serapel datamined for the next CS collabGiven those characters specifically which would be bizarre for any other reason it might indicate that the world of SS is the Strega Witches' homeworld.
bwo forgot the previous thread link
>>2004074grim.
>>2004090sorry i baked a bit in a hurry
https://x.com/Hanman_penguin/status/2047939089836671113
>>2004106god i wish i knew who came with the idea of skin tighty full body pantyhose for loli ecclesia i want to give him my thanks
>>2004109I think you need to fix your monitor bwo, she doesn't have that.
>>2004111thtas the only way i don't have a constant boner
>panties visible through layer>no braone thing but CS did somehow pull some insane fanservice where others wouldn't dare this kinda of shit
>>2004121which was only possible because it flew under the radar like thatthey made the best out of a bad situation
>>2004154Please, it's possible for any company that isn't Chinese to do what they did, most of the companies are just spineless.
https://x.com/masjeom/status/2047958811445690862Hard to believe they were so eager to shut the game down they couldn't even make one last awakened unit trailer.
>>2004208Yeah,i don't get how they just hard cut CS last awakened like that i wonder if the current CEO simply doesn't like CS to begin with and SS is their pet project instead?
>>2004254Well the current CEO is the one doing vtuber streams where they pretend to be a girl...
>>2004255ah, so he is jealous of Gaeun...
>>2004255niggas need to learn how self-insert as a GAR character instead of girls so they can stop acting retarded
>>2004261but inserting yourself into a dude is gay
So are we moving on to Star Savior?
>>2004268then just think of yourself as a puppet master like Thunderbolt fantasy
>>2004080I can't believe someone is making an archive of the story. Your efforts are commendable.
Are you alright, csbwos?
>>2004281hmmm nyo
>>2004090You say that while not even providing the link yourself. And our previous thread didn't have a link back either. Our threads of fate have been severed, we have failed our duty to the supreme administrator. >>1960676>>1960676>>1960676
>>>1960676
>>2004284>Our threads of fate have been severed, we have failed our duty to the supreme administratorbut... severing the threads of fate is literally what Admin did at the end of the story
>Ecclesia is a fairyThere's no way that's true. She has way too many "HAG" features to be one. Shinjia atleast is a fake fairy
>>2004317bro, Gremory is a fairy
>>2004317her cunny form is her real form the hag form is fake
>>2004268
>>2004337Uoooohh I love Northern Union stories.
>>2004345I love that the Free Riders keep showing up, and I love that see through dress that people didn't even notice for a long time.
>>2004363Did anyone ever like Sylvia for her glasses? I can't remember anyone even mentioning them.
>>2004272i'm already playing it
>>2004367The greatest heroes arrive just in the nick of time.
I just randomly remembered that they mentioned something about dolls and Dash all the way back in Bottom of the Shade.Apparently she always was sowing eyes onto dolls (to earn money for her parents). And then if you look at "Thagirion" it's a doll with an eye on it.They told us that the doll design of Thagirion was just something made by Audra instead of Audra herself and thus essentially a fake from the very beginning, even before we were done with dealing with Ray.
>>2004386yeah that was pretty nice
>>2004385Oohhhhh long haired Mavka sexxxxoooooo
>>2004406While skimming through the episode I also saw that Mors appears for the first time as well in this episode. And the first thing she does is giving Dash some medicine against motion sickness to make her feel better.Honestly a crazy moment in retrospect, they really hid the fact that Mors is so nice she will even help an alternate version of her biggest enemy right at the beginning of her story.Counter:Side had some really good autistic girls.
>>2004412I like the way they framed this scene.
>>2004428One more part complete, not sure why I'm even claiming these things anymore since there's nothing to spend them on, just habit I guess.
>>2004441So Wade shows up in the austrailia story. But what the heck happened to him in the floating island one? He was with the old guy but then when they find him he's just not there and no one says anything about him???
I guess doomchads won, copefaggots lost huh? So much for trusting the plan lmao
>>2004474trust the plan
>>2004474The plan succeeded though, you were just thinking of the wrong plan.
>>2004450Yeah Wade just falls off the plot and is never mentioned again. Maybe he was meant to have more of a role in the next story arc...
>>2004488Strange, I'm also starting to get deja vu with this story. It's just the same thing in each area, it's fun seeing all the cameos but also getting a bit tiring. Wish they could have given each place a different goal instead of all just being about using the switcher. If it's just going to repeat every time it needs to be a lot shorter.
>>2004489It does stop being about the track switcher at some point. I forget when.
>>20044982 last one
A fate worse than death...
They are so many games that keep on pushing content despite making pennies compare to the big dogs of gacha, but an icon for art and known PVP, story, l2d decides to go full maintenance mode because they have a fucking tranny as a CEO, you cannot make this shit up now how the fuck do you think the SS players will feel huh? "We are next right" you fucking useless AGP freak that never NEVER stopped making mistakes over mistakes while having such a wonderful team for art designs even 3D.What a fucking disaster, fuck BSide fuck Ryuko and drown in debt as this is your only fate.
rosaria is just another case of needing to be dicked down desu
>random adm soldier helping spencer now thats the kind of soul we don't see much out there
>>2004477yes, for you the next plan is the rope
>>2004550doomers commiting suicide already?
>>2004532>an icon for art and known PVP, story, l2d what game are you talking about
so cunny ecclessia > prime hag ecclessia ? For a girl to surpass herself she needs to become loli...
Just read the message.Honestly I don't have hope for savior either.
https://x.com/1ofJdsyeSjoCCqA/status/2048091471052783879No one would've even known you were cosplaying, dude.
So the Bside staff on bullets stream said that they dont even know what the CEO is even planning for counterside anymore. I guess its pretty much over then.
Cafe Strega regulars taking it well.
>>2004653was it actually the devs or larpers?
https://old.reddit.com/r/CounterSide/comments/1sa0qek/updates_on_my_previous_post_of_employees_leak/Oh, it's so fucked.
>>2004450>>2004488Re-read the campamento story againHe died and became the big C.O. now protecting the place
>>2004660I just read it last night and it never says anything like that and I'm pretty sure that old man would have said something if that was the case. Care to share how you came to that conclusion?
>>2004663Khan recognized the Yam kippur c.o. wasn't the original when it began fighting the worm, because it was Wade now trying to protect everyone.
>>2004676Hmmm maybe I guess, feels like something they didn't need to be so vague about and it feels like a reach for someone magically turning into a good c.o. has that ever happened before? And he was attacking the group so clearly he was just mindlessly lashing out at anything.
reader update: i got live2d's working.it's huge now, so you have to download it from github and run an exe file (spooky!): https://github.com/myrhhcaiah/counterside_reader
>>2004649he is quite autistic but he has a good heart
>>2004679Any chance it will get turned into a website like the arknights version?
>>2004659lol i actually wouldn't be surprised, gooks have some infamy on enver finishing anything properly and instead starting new projects
>>2004681maybe. i'm skeptical about hosting because the live2ds are heavy as fuck.
>>2004684It's all good, either way the effort is appreciated. Could be cool to share it on arca maybe get bullet to jump in and contribute or something.
>>2004684i rather have it as a open-source to have it offline at very least since i rather not rely on online stuff,btw you know tool people use to unpack l2d and other stuff from CS?
>>2004686eh, i think i had to do ~4-5 different kinds of decryption.i can make a viewer for the l2ds next week.
>>2004678>someone magically turning into a good c.o. has that ever happened before?Curian, the original
>>2004659Now I have even less hope for savior
Tammiel plan didn't make much sense to me unless i missed or forgot something doesn't the wolf need to kill the demon lord in the game for her to get power? But there was only a single win shouldn't instead then the game be through multiple rounds of victory? Did we the wolf even kill demon lords before since they never won a game
>>2004692You got me, guess I'm just not media literate enough for this shit.
>>2004695the shadow fiasco is kinda of a mess desu
This cannot be the nyend...I was really looking forward to Asimov.
You see, it all began when Russia invaded Ukraine...
>>2004694Admin is actively working against her plan.Yes, she made "Wolf kills Demon Lord" a win condition in the game but Admin simply did not allow that to ever happen.Everything right up to the killing blow against Ray (where Binman came in to steal the kill, preventing Yoom from getting it) was in "been there, done that" territory.Only afterwards did Admin reveal himself and admitted that he was flying blind - so it seems very likely he could have gotten a "win" in the game multiple cycles ago but that was never really his goal, his goal is to prevent Tammiel's plan
It's freaking me out how Mary's eyes keep changing from blue to red and back.
>>2003722APR4THCPNWKD26never forget that we are bros 4everand maria sexo
>>2004781These things are so cool, hope we get to fight one in ss eventually.
>>2004705Read that as>Rosaria invaded UkraineYikes
>>2004790Hmm that was a strangely unsatisfying end to the front bay story. We just run away leaving Australia to get eaten and let a category 6 angel roam free. Oh well I guess if it's the end of the world it doesn't matter that much but they sure talked a lot about saving people and it not mattering if the city falls but where are all the people going? They only talked about retreating to the administration building but that's clearly about to get wiped out too. Unless there are a bunch of dimensional ships just transporting millions of people away they should presumably all be dead at this point. Haha oh well don't think about it just move onto the next place.
>>2004802Yep I'm definitely not catching up by monday. Oh well it's my fault letting myself get behind. Goodnight friends, as long as we have time here it's time well spent.
Just started reading Fallen Floor in the reader. God, I forgot how sad this game could get while also having super girls everywhere.
>>2004856*super hot girls
didn't they tease a collab? Did ryu just nuke everything because he felt like it? I swear this is sword than pricone in a way because this is just the main company throwing away their game that could even make money even they put a bit more effort and not be completely retarded
>>2004813night bwo luv you
>>2004916Star Savior is Ryu Geum-tae's project, Counterside wasn't. He was probably so happy that the global launch went well because it gave him the justification to kill Counterside.
>>2004918they better the rumour a third game is already on the work is false else SS will just be throw away too at that point there is no point in evne trying their stuff even if they can hire people to do a good job with art,story and all that
>finally got time to play again>it's possibly the endAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>2004953thanks ryu
what am i supposed to do now...
>>2004956see this to the true end is this your first eos
>>2004958Yes. All I know is that the game will now be lost to the Counterside and this time... there is no escape
It's been a while. I just saw this on my steam. Is counterside finally shutting down?
>>2004971we have entered maintenance mode
>>2004970well ihad dropped other games before eos CS was the only one that managed to hold me >>2004971never forgive ryu
>>2004990look in the mirror chump
The next star savior stream is gonna be a shitshow
>>2005030when is it?
Oh my, hmmm maybe today will be a good day.
trust the plan bwos
I KNEEL HILD-SAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>2005059God CS has the best clothing designs. I'm going to miss this so much.
>>2005066it kinda sucks because the interns that worked on it seemed to actually like the game instead of just being a job they just do thoughtless
>>2005068They are trying to kill me, my heart can't take this kind of stimulation this early in the morning.
>>2005069Bold of Bside to just come out and say it.
Remember when Hild was a smoker...
hmm. I just realized that I can translate the Guily Gear collab inside the reader.
>>2005129the story was never released so it's honestly not an actual part of CS
>>2005129actually, it turns out Chrome can just translate the page.
>>2005130It was released during the original Korean collab. They removed it doing the rerun.
>>2005137ah, even sadder
>>2005142it was because of chink fuckerysome guilty gear guy says taiwan or tibet, idk
Can't bring myself to do any story today, guess I'm not catching up for a while but I'm just too tired. Oh well, not like we're going anywhere fast.

>>2005434Kind of sovl. Imagine if he had the power of AI tho.>>2005442He's gotta work through the stages.
I never saw CS on my timeline before the EoS announcement and now I'm seeing posts like this.
>>2005480CS had some actually decent dudes for a gacha game. none of this pretty boy who is shorter than the girls shit but some solid dudes you'd like to have a beer with.the ones mentioned are on the prettier side but still acceptable as men
>>2005493CS pretty much only have gar badass dudes(wilbur not included since he was a coward bitch) mostly
>>2005499Wilbur is at least not playable and a great villian with absolutely zero redeeming qualitiesthe one true miss for me was the one bow dude from the Nanahara story who just wanted to live a peaceful life, he sucked ass and I refuse to remember his nameeven the wimpy-looking kid from the blue Zodiacs got to be a bit badass towards the end
>>2005505he wasn't that wimpy but he wasn't memorable either, he never showed up again either so its whatever
HUGE DRAMAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li6KuTWBq7U
>>2005738Blast from the past.
>>2005509>first Nanahara episode was all about he was the only one with the ability to hit someone with divine power>second Nanahara episode he can't do shit against someone with divine powerThey did him dirt.
>>2005758i blame the chinks because they felt afraid of the japanese guy , they gave a pass to the girls because wwell... they are hot

After hearing the news I logged back into my account after who knows how long. I'll never forgive Bside, hope they fucking go bankrupt.
>>2005787Everything looks the same...

>>2007732end of a season, not the story. Tammiel's lore and a hint of her motivation was revealed. The vatican is holding back the greater evil than tammiel
