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.

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

https://github.com/myrhhcaiah/counterside_readerTons of updates since the last post: music, backgrounds, hologram effect, "scene selection poems", YOOM icon, fixed a bunch of l2ds.I feel like I'm getting close to being done with with. Emotes and Android support are what's left (iPhone never because you need to buy a license).I've been checking arca while working on it. Lots of nostalgia. Lots of porn. They're just like us.
>>2010373Wait hold on, are you hosting the game content on github? Shouldn't you separate them so the reader can't get DCMA'd?
>>2010530yeah, I was on the fence about that, but there's a lot of readers/character viewers hosted on github already.also, I'm skeptical of bside's ability to contract a lawyer.
https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxqImHijOhXKIZsXzcUTXc8kYXgz7oqZQiCS dying really hit him hard to the point his distrust to Bside masterplan finally overwrote his passion for their games.
>Bullet moved to NTE and stopped uploading Star Savior stuffIt is unironically over over
>Bullet left (real)>>Niggas that never played Counterside replacing us in /ssg/bwos....
>>2010785Are there any old players that have returned for star savior?
>>2010790i think so, but Hildfriends (the sequel) started lated, so a lot of people got vacuumed up by the other guilds.
shan't be donating credits to the consortium anymore
it still doesn't feel real bwos
>Every other song on the soundtrack is 320kbps>ANAPILIS is 256kbpsEverything rushed out the door.
>>2011131according to Arca, everything in the last patch was done by the PD in a drunken rage before his contract ended
>>2011148I'd believe it. Just realised some songs are missing from the soundtrack too, like Mason's theme and the Militia theme.
Lee Yumi has a different model in japan so that they could localize the text on her armband.
>>2010696SS wonned
>>2011166>Already slowed down on content updates probably because they are pulling out staff members to develop 3rd gameNo one is going to win, Bside will explode sooner or later if the rumor about them cutting corners to fund their 3rd game is true.
>>2010373added: emotes, android, "download animation (webm)"
>CS fated to die>still getting new fanarts
>>2011194thanks for all the work
>>2011182ryu is a fucking retard, SS is profiting enough to cover the problems it had on launch, just like if he didn't fucking abandon CS we could have been proffitable but instead he throw us away and still made more money than some other minor gachas
>>2011194big sis love!!!!
can someone post here the higher res version of this?
>>2011545to be fair the "third project" thing is from a single arca post, not sure how credible it is
>>2011876Even if it was credible we would have to survive for another 2 years before it comes out.
>>2011878If it even exists, it won't be coming out for another 3 or 4 years at least. But given the current situation, Bside would have balls of diamond if they dare to announce they are working on a new game.
I've been sprinting through the story to catch up before EOS. I got through Burnett, Fallen Floor, Alice, Counters Legacy, Law of Creating a New World, Bara.The stories are pretty long, but the pacing is really good. And it avoids the "complex for the hell of it" trap that a lot of gachas fall into.I think I've got 3 events, then the Omens + Ep 15.
>>2012131enjoy it bwo
Will we really just not get enought quartz weekly anymore for the black tickets?
>>2011876It's likely not credible but everyone believes it including bullet which got him so depressed that he quit star saviorAll it would have taken to disprove the claims was one tweet, one news post or one stream but for some reason we're just getting silence?
>>2012456nigga, it's time to let go....
>>2013034Show how much trust the KR fanbase has left for Bside. These retards have no fucking marketing skill and extremely shit at reading the situations.
>>2013186I remember when Star Savior launched and the staff were doing major apology streams begging the players to stick with them and people thought it sounded reasonable in the west, but the KR audience wasn't buying it and apparently Ryu Tae-Geum was known by a nickname of something like snake-tongued Ryu in Korea because none of them trusted him. I didn't get it before but now I do.
>>2013393Oh the guy is really a snake, like how early in this year he promised a new shadow palace, new dives and a collab just to pull a hard plug. The game was pretty much abandoned for years with minimum stuff too and i'm sure we lost chess because they wanted to cut even more costs
>>2011876>>2013034The 3rd game rumor is based on a post on Blind, which means it's at least from an employee at BSide, but you can hope that they pivoted after /ss/ global release.That said, the current smoke on Arca is crazy: Ryu took BSide funds and dumped it into the Korean stock market. Which, would actually be genius since it's up like 170% yoy, so you know he didn't do it.
https://arca.live/b/counterside/169729002?sort=commentCount&p=1Seems like there was more content prepared that wasn't implemented? Or last minute story changes.
>>2013559i'm sure ryu cut counterside on a whim ln march
>>2013559oh, that's just a post about the reader. people on arca were surprised that i included the mid-battle dialog.>>2013560there's some of stuff Global didn't get. like Amy Countercase, the GG collab
>>2013579>Amy CountercaseFor real? I thought we had everything when they finally added the Doma cases. But there were also a bunch of loading screen comics we never got.
>>2013587These are untranslated in the files I mined:[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_AMY]_COUNTERCASE_AMY_Amy Strickland[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_ARACHNE]_COUNTERCASE_ARACHNE_Arachne[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_BENEDICT]_COUNTERCASE_BENEDICT_Benedict Constantine[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_CINDY]_COUNTERCASE_CINDY_Cindy Looper[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_CLOUDIA]_COUNTERCASE_CLOUDIA_Claudia Nelson[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_JANE]_COUNTERCASE_JANE_Jane Doe[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_JOHN]_COUNTERCASE_JOHN_John Mason[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_KASUMI]_COUNTERCASE_KASUMI_Hirose Aki[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_LIV]_COUNTERCASE_LIV_Liv Allen[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_MINSEO]_COUNTERCASE_MINSEO_Lee Minseo[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_PRYDWEN_RYAN]_COUNTERCASE_PRYDWEN_RYAN_Ryan Ferrier[COUNTERCASE]_[COUNTERCASE_PRYDWEN_THADDEUS]_COUNTERCASE_PRYDWEN_THADDEUS_Thaddeus MorganI'll look into MTLing them in the reader.
Now that it is truly nyover, what are we doing countersisters? we are beyond the nyend nyend.
>>2013590never forgive ryu
>>2013590Damn, that's some fucking bullshit. Report back if you get them set up, I'd want to check them out.>>2013591Playing NTE like everyone else. The story is a fucking mess, though.
>>2013601i'm trying chaos nightmare, i doubt it will hit like counterside already, mostly gotten into it after seeing some panty shots iamges lol
Will Counterside get an offline mode like Mega Man X Dive did?
>>2013591idk, maybe it's time to pretend that I never left AK.I've been playing /ss/ for the bwos, which is cool, but man, the constant bugs just feel bad.>>2013604CZN seems like it should be a good game, but it also feels weirdly soulless.
>>2013625 i hate card game shit,itlso have furries. Also the first impression i got from the characters when your character wake up is very bland its a similar problem with Epic Seven. I wish i could expect a self-insert like CEO but i don't think any other gacha have similar. A badass tall dude, that is not ironic or have a quirky design and also not a moralfag,with his own story but that if you want you can self-insert easily.
>>2011703
>>2013625Gave up CZN after season 2, it was such a shitshow that I can't stomach grinding it again for its next season shitshow. The way they design contents and shill their new characters is fucking insane it makes Bside looks like genius when it comes to game balance.
they're AI generating notebook sketches on arca
>>2013590>>2013601The untranslated CounterCases are implemented in the reader. Along with the GG collab. And cut-ins in the viewer.https://github.com/myrhhcaiah/counterside_readerAlso, we already know Amy isn't this world's Amy from Ep 13, but do we know how she got here?
>>2013686thanks bwo
>>2013822no
Snowbreak go the worse than death treatment huh
>>2014222yikes. they basically deleted animations from across the game?
>>2014230censored everything, removed animations,etc,etc. And some people still try to pretend the chinese government is "based" and the games are not simply overlooked and therefore "allowed" to exist
>>2014237No way... I thought they shut down so they could move out of china. Why even bother censoring everything no one is going to spend anything on the game anymore it's just going to shut down anyways. Fuck sake enslave women already islam was right.
>>2014526its china being china
>>2014526>move out of chinaThis shit will never work, as long as they still have to sell their game to chink players, which made up majority of their revenue then they will still have to obey CCP rule.
>>2014575CCP doesnt allow companies that start making money to simply move out either
I hate china so much it's unreal. I hate that I'm still playing a chinese gacha and I can't quit.
>>2014587the problem is that they do have some nice ideas(that are only nice because they are massive weeabos), but CCP and all that ruin everything just like uber conformity culture screw up japanese stuff
that's why it's best to play Korean gamesI know of a based one called Star Savior, it even has Hild, Yoom and Rosaria!
Evil always wins, women always win. You can't beat simps they outnumber us a million to one. This shit is unreal, I can't fucking believe it. Meanwhile women get love and deepspace completely uncensored. I'm tired, please God just send the meteor already.
>>2014595>women always winyeah, the CCP is well known for consisting entirely of womenstop drinking the cool aid and wake the fuck up, it's old men who are jealous of our ability to still get a boner who ruin all the good thingssame with the porn ban in Texas
>>2014602Oh god you're so fucking uninformed. Please just don't, I'm not in the mood.
>>2014603thank you for admitting you are wrong
Proud of myself for not immediately biting that bait. Maybe I'm growing as a person.
>>2014719*smooch* well done bwo
>>2013692>Gave up CZN after season 2,they made massive improvements for s3 like actually huge
Kinda funny how bside managed to actually get the global audience and lose it in like the span of a monthPromoted to A because they got put aside for other games coming out
>>2015014Global audience is full of trend chasers and FOMO bunch, they will never stick to one game long enough. Bside is retarded if they actually bet their livelihood on them, but it's Bside.

>>2016344Can you tell me one non retarded decision he had made since Bside left Nexon?
>>2015975He needs to gauge how much everything is burning before throwing in more gasoline in it
I don't even remember when this was a loading screen.bonus: meme banner ads from arca: https://arca.live/b/counterside/168932432

I had a dream that a new chapter of the story had Knight of the Lake revealing that Wilbur was Shiyoon's ancestor somehow.
>>2017994funny a few days ago i also dreamed wtih CEO, knight of the lake and some otehr cs characters i don't remember exactly what it was about though
I just got to Pride of Knights and Medea has the most distracting honkers in the game so far.

>>2018079Man, I zoomed through the SS event, then the 2nd half of Pride of Knights. Kind of crazy what BSide gave up in order to imitate KonoSuba.
>>2018079I got her in my daily summon today
>>2020141h-hot!
>>2018836Didn't gooks had a nuclear meltdown over it?
>>2020561Yeah on launch but it's been six months since launch and they fixed a ton of shit with the game being actually playable now. Fucktons of freebies right now, free selectors, OP limited on banner and loli chara support after this banner ends so it's not surprising he decided to hop on since it's a great time to join.
BIG dash
Is there an archive or rip of the bgm yet? I saw one with an entire KR spreadsheet but the quality sounds off to me, I could just be paranoid
>>2021090there is some of it on youtube
>fucking warhammer ship never released in the files
>>2021090The soundtrack's all on youtube and there's the official soundtrack release on Steam for a few bucks but it's missing some songs.
>>2021090The rips are in the reader in the \dist\assets\bgm directory.https://github.com/myrhhcaiah/counterside_reader>>2021145I think I heard on arca that the official one is missing free bgm tracks.

Where do you get the 7 copies of anapilis?1 is from finishing chap 153 from the contract mission event1 from the anapilis selector(forgot where this was from)where are the other 2
>>2024001you are too late, you only got all of her copies for a bit after her release
>>2024017I thought the contract mission tab was the only limited one and that still has 10 days
>>2024081iirc it was a Danger Close and the other returning PVE ranked mode thingy
Too late takes a different meaning when the only thing after this is EOSThere won't be any second chances...
>>2024001There was a anapilis selector in Danger Closer points rewards (12k?) and one in the infinite wave battle thing.
>>2024089>>2024127I think the selector I have is from danger close but I've never touched last stand since the first few times it ran
Going through all the employee files and remembering the times I thought shiyoon or seo yoon were evil and were going to backstab us
sigh, we died before we could release this
>>2024604>Going through all the employee files and remembering the times I thought shiyoon or seo yoon were evil and were going to backstab usYeah, the devs kept baiting us in the first chapter.Also, Seo Yoon keeps backstabbing Yoom anyways.
>>2024637the important is that she was (your) loyal puppy
>>2023559>bunny and wedding skins alreadythey're fucking desperate
>No T6 AnapilisYou have no human rights bwo
Arca is still "what could have been"-posting (also, dooming over a rumor of an afk game made from CS's corpse).Yoom's asymmetric stockings look hot as fuck here tho.
>>2025698what could have been closers mobile
Crazy how CS eos and bullet quitting dealt a huge blow to star savior, likely not long until they come back to /vmg/.
>>2025857It was in freefall before that, the game just has a bad gameplay loop. Once you've exhausted the story there isn't much to do or talk about.
Bwos post a team for the danger close
>>2025956i just copy the top teams
Just finished Ep. 15. Very different experience from the Omens; you could feel it trying to wrap up as much as it could. Sigh. I'm gonna miss this game.
>>2025996i'm sure ryu made a pretty sudden decision that this was going to be the last mainstream,never forgive him

Can you give me ONE(1) legitimately good reason for danger close to still have a maximum of 5 attempts per day
- User A: Employees who have deep knowledge of subculture games have already resigned in droves or are planning to leave. I'll answer if you're curious about anything else.- User B: Are they running 2 new projects?- User A: It seems so for now, but I doubt they have the capacity to run them properly. It feels like they're only doing what the CEO wants out of sheer stubbornness, so I think there's a high chance it will fizzle out.- User B: Shouldn't something other than what the CEO is doing be ready by now? When is it even coming out?- User C: If it's "CounterSide Idle" (CounterSide Raising), they already ruined it once lol. It's the irony of Studio Beside to kill it like that and then try to remake it as an idle game lol.- User D: By any chance, did the people who wrote the CounterSide story leave too? - User C: Yes, they all resigned, and the remaining ones are scheduled to leave soon.- User D: Ah.. Thank you for letting me know. I wish you the best of luck.- User A: Honestly, several famous employees who even did interviews for Studio Beside left a long time ago. It's probably been about 2 years.1/2
- User E: Where did most of them transfer to?- User C: They abandoned the sister game and are now stitching up CounterSide's corpse to prepare a patchwork golem again.- User F: Sigh, I figured that would be the case lol. My money just went down the drain.- User G: Why are they stitching up CounterSide's corpse Are they trying to release it as an AFK game? Stop desecrating the dead.- User H: I heard that a lot of talented people are leaving.- User I: The names that people used to praise when talking about CounterSide left years ago lol.- User J: Just like the articles popping up about mid-sized/small companies shutting down services and closing business, wouldn't this place be the subject of the next article? Of course, for closing down. Even looking at it objectively, lol... It wouldn't be surprising no matter when they go under.2/2
>>2026997>>2026999Can't believe I wasted year of my life playing and hyping up this game. I told all my friends about it, I spent money I shouldn't have. I laughed as it lived on when tons of newcomers all eos'd. I really thought we would go the distance and see a proper ending. Last time I ever believe in anything, fuck this gay earth.
>>2026997>>2026999i wonder where the writers event to >- User I: The names that people used to praise when talking about CounterSide left years ago lol.like whoi literally only know the artists lol
>>2027009its vague. on when is this 2 years ago? after the first global (SEA) launch or 2024 when the game was still getting 100 - 150K income per month on mobile alone not including steam?
>>2027016you would guess it was on new origin but new origin was 3 years ago,i can believe about the CEO though, its kinda of a shitty luck the two CEOs they got were fucking retards but i guess you can't be a CEO if you are not retarded
>>2026997>- User D: By any chance, did the people who wrote the CounterSide story leave too? >- User C: Yes, they all resigned, and the remaining ones are scheduled to leave soon.
Star Savior and Counterside could have been great if Ryu wasn't retarded.
>>2026999There was a post on Arca about BSide's annual employment numbers: 39 people left; 11 were hired.>>2027019The buzz on Arca is that the post-New Origin producer was really good. It's just that management was dead set on jumping to Star Savior.
>>2027065its a gamble then. hope it works out for them so we can live bwos
>>2027065they should just open their own company haha....
IT'S OVER
lets do an agressive take over
>most of Ep1 is jokes about how broke coffin company is>pretty much all applies to bsidenot sure if kino
>>2027148well they need CEO at least he waste his money in cool robot statues instead of being retarded
>>2027164ok but weren't they already broke before Admin took over? so what did VP do with all the money Hild and Hahaman earned by being able to solo category 3s?
>>2027227They actually spend a lot of time talking about it in Ep1.>Hild leaves Coffin for "years">Shiyoon is so annoying that works with him quits>They sell all the ships, all the other teams start their own companies>They only manage to hire Yoom because she's annoying
>>2027231>They only manage to hire Yoom because she's annoyingthat one was probably something Admin had a hand in, he made sure she was "free" when he started making movesnow that I think about it the rest could also have been his work; he needed the taskforce Hild was in to exist and have taskforce permission but he didn't want too many (non-staff) people to be involved in ithe probably lured the low level counters away and made them take their trash tier ships with them to make room for T6 ships, Titan and GAP statuesturning VP into a money pinching miser in the process was probably not intended but it also didn't stop him
>>2027239dude could literally print money if he really wanted to desu
Somehow we got a new comic
>>2027688
>>2023255After the SEX update I'll play it.
>>2027688many people love cs afterall
>game dies>we're more active than ever with more fanart than everBoggles the mind, imagine if bside had actually put some effort into the game. The fanbase was there all along just waiting for something to care about. What a waste.
>>2028381my daughter and wife... my daugtherwife
I'm going to miss Horizon a lot.
>>2028428Remember when /ssg/ lost their shit and claimed this line meant CS was an ntr game and we were all being cucked? Haha those were good times.
>>2028430I remember when we were young and hapi and BSide didn't go beyond the nyend to ruin the game.
>>2028431those were simpler times....
>>2028319Honestly, there's so much sovl in the community and in the game. It really didn't have to be this way.Pic rel is from datamining. I think JP and TWN had their own loading screens with art from local artists.
>>2028464Damn, that kind of soul is normally restricted to Ragnarok Online.
>>2028721ragnarok is another cursed game at least it still alive today but man gravity only screw it over
>>2029241Death is a better outcome than the current stage of RO, it's literally stuck in eternal damnation..
