>>2003726 it's always somebody's birthday what'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
>>2003734 live2D 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
>>2003734 CS' 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.
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.
>>2003742 >and animate it and you can already feel the squeeze when it comes to animations in 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 pose in practice after making the 3D model BSide doesn't have enough money over for many poses so all the characters have very few of them the 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
>>2003766 to be fair, early CS also took a while to find its tone also 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 better Eddie and Orca deserved better Shepherd deserved better And 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.
>>2003787 Bottom of the Shade, Rita ran out and turned into Ministra it'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.
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.
https://arca.live/b/starsavior/161710676?category=z&p=3 >Laura and Serapel datamined for the next CS collab Given those characters specifically which would be bizarre for any other reason it might indicate that the world of SS is the Strega Witches' homeworld.
https://x.com/masjeom/status/2047958811445690862 Hard to believe they were so eager to shut the game down they couldn't even make one last awakened unit trailer.
>>2004208 Yeah,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?
>>2004090 You 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
>>2004284 >Our threads of fate have been severed, we have failed our duty to the supreme administrator but... severing the threads of fate is literally what Admin did at the end of the story
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.
>>2004406 While 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.
>>2004441 So 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???
>>2004488 Strange, 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.
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.
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.
>>2004660 I 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?
>>2004676 Hmmm 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.
>>2004684 It'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.
>>2004684 i 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?
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
>>2004694 Admin 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
>>2004790 Hmm 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.
>>2004802 Yep 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.
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
>>2004916 Star 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.
>>2004918 they 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
>>2005480 CS 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
>>2005499 Wilbur is at least not playable and a great villian with absolutely zero redeeming qualities the 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 name even the wimpy-looking kid from the blue Zodiacs got to be a bit badass towards the end
>>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 power They did him dirt.
>1) Awakened Custom Pickup will begin. >- Apr. 28, after the maintenance - Dec. 30, 2026 20:00 (UTC-5) >2) SSR Custom Pickup will begin. >- Apr. 28, after the maintenance - Dec. 30, 2026 20:00 (UTC-5) >3) Operator Custom Pickup will begin. >- Apr. 28, after the maintenance - Dec. 30, 2026 20:00 (UTC-5) That's likely the shut down date then.
oi, they changed even the beginning of the lifetime contract I somehow have the feeling she will be the first CS character we see in the SS story outside of a collab
>>2007360 just catch up, bro. it would be pretty cucked if you spent tickets on her when everyone else got her at 6x dupes for free. it goes by pretty quickly in the reader.
>>2007732 non-ending But CEO became some sor of God with sephiroth tree and was able to sever fate and make people not be rejected by the world so people from other worlds are fine, Tammie wasn't defeated though and bigger bad is out there
>>2007732 end 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
They're despair coomin on Arca. Also, the last PD is now like a folk legend for holding out as long as he did. >>2007510 Maybe someday. It got a lot of attention, but it seems like only a few people used it cause there are breaking bugs that I'm hearing from like 1 person. So, I'm testing instead of adding more shit.
Does anyone have a list of stories in release order? specficallly after EP10, i wanna read them on release order on how they were put in the game, but its hard to find, please bwos
https://github.com/myrhhcaiah/counterside_reader Tons 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.
>>2010530 yeah, 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/UgkxqImHijOhXKIZsXzcUTXc8kYXgz7oqZQi CS dying really hit him hard to the point his distrust to Bside masterplan finally overwrote his passion for their games.
>>2011166 >Already slowed down on content updates probably because they are pulling out staff members to develop 3rd game No 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.
>>2011182 ryu 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
>>2011878 If 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.
>>2011876 It's likely not credible but everyone believes it including bullet which got him so depressed that he quit star savior All 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?
>>2013034 Show how much trust the KR fanbase has left for Bside. These retards have no fucking marketing skill and extremely shit at reading the situations.
>>2013186 I 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.
>>2013393 Oh 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 >>2013034 The 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=1 Seems like there was more content prepared that wasn't implemented? Or last minute story changes.
>>2013559 oh, that's just a post about the reader. people on arca were surprised that i included the mid-battle dialog. >>2013560 there's some of stuff Global didn't get. like Amy Countercase, the GG collab
>>2013579 >Amy Countercase For 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.
>>2013587 These 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 Morgan
>>2013591 idk, 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. >>2013604 CZN 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.
>>2013625 Gave 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.
>>2014230 censored 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
>>2014237 No 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.
>>2014526 >move out of china This 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.
>>2014587 the 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
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 win yeah, the CCP is well known for consisting entirely of women stop 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 things same with the porn ban in Texas
Kinda funny how bside managed to actually get the global audience and lose it in like the span of a month Promoted to A because they got put aside for other games coming out
>>2015014 Global 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.
There's a dude on arca schizoposting the main story: >Yumina: "Ugh, I have to hurry! At this rate, my sister... will get fertilized by the fusion's thick, succulent sperm!!!" https://arca.live/b/counterside/170126947?p=1
>>2017994 funny 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
>>2020561 Yeah 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.
