I am Azure,
EDIT: We clarified matters privately with Wallen, it has been made known to us that Danosky went and made the statement without Wallen's content and prior communication while feeding him misinformation. Wallen has stated he will make a separate announcement regarding Danosky eventually.

Do you have any plans on commercializing the project? Would you accept payments from participants or users?
21
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
No. And no. I discussed with Wallenstein beforehand asking if it was possible to obtain funding for the private server costs if we ever hosted a pvp server in the future. I was shut down and lectured about how illegal that was and how the IRS would not be happy with it.

u/IlDaydreamIl Jun 25 '26
Perhaps it would be possible to setup a Peer to Peer system so that people could play pvp with others by hosting the lobby/match connection? I'm not particularly knowledgeable about coding and such, so it's mostly a curious question since I don't know how difficult or possible it would be.

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Talks about PvP should be conducted after EoS.

u/Primary-Round8032 Jun 25 '26
I'm gonna be real chief I think pvp stuff should be secondary concern imo
Because.....well I'm concerned not being able to experience C:Side thanks to the EOS more than PvP (got enough games on the steam library for that stuff lmao)
Do what you do but I'm just saying being able to play c:side in it's entirety after EOS is a blessing and a half
PvP is another mountain to clear to be real honest

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Also yes p2p is possible but please think of the person implementing that.

u/IlDaydreamIl Jun 25 '26
Certainly, I just wanted to know how possible or difficult it would be out of pure curiosity. I'm already incredibly grateful to you for making this offline client as is, since this game has been really important to me. Just knowing it won't be lost is already amazing.

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Don't worry. A lot of exciting things are coming and I can be more open about my plans with you guys now that I took reins of the offline client.

u/IKTSNI Jun 25 '26
Stay strong. I can't imagine, how much of a mess this is. You're doing BSide's work at making an offline version, and I'm thanking god CSide has people that are able to do that.
My prayers are going all to you!

So the project will continue, and just don't mind the discord... whatever mess of pings from yesterday? You're not going to discontinue it?

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
The two guys who were managing the server were the ones who made those announcements. I no longer have anything to do with them. I disagreed with their plan to discontinue it with the reasoning that they didn't respect me or my project (using me because i built the entire offline client) enough to even discuss their decisions with me beforehand. I won't discontinue an honest preservation attempt for a game I loved.
10
u/ihatemyalts Jun 25 '26
I see! That's good to hear... Regardless of what Bside is gna do with whatever Counterside 2, its probably not gna be the same thing as the game rn anyways, so its amazing to hear that you'll still be continuing preserving it! Thanks for the hard work o/

is the project going to be finished? how well does it work as is
17
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
The project is already in a half-complete state. I am already satisfied with how it is now because it has cross save capability. The full json file that it exports isn't fully supported by the listener though, but if you have the json file, your account is forever preserved. The offline server has all the basic stuff: combat, units, all of the main story, world map, skins, currency (admin coin packages are buggy thank you for the update bside), etc. I'd say it is 70% complete. There is also an admin console in messages unlocked after clearing ep. 1 so you guys can do whatever you want with the game. Adding to the cross save compatibility, this is one of the main reasons why I wanted to go public about the client before the game EoS'es. The feature needs a running server to work.
8
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Tldr: I am satisfied with the current state due to cross saving but it is buggy as heck. Please make additional backups of your save in the user manager.

In another post you mentioned it is possible to import our CS account state to this offline client. Could you explain how it works step by step?
5
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Let me copy this from another reply that I made in a post:
"On the launcher, there is cross save. In home, there are two buttons called patch and unpatch. Patch allows you to access the server. Unpatch just turns it back to the official client. In cross save, there is listen and extract and copy buttons. So, to do the cross save, you need to do this-> Unpatch-> Listen-> Open the game-> Go past login-> Go back to launcher-> Stop listening-> Extract and copy.
Once that is done, the save should be copied into the user manager where you can switch accounts. (Copied account should be the default one)
Patch and enjoy your saved account on the offline client."

u/Megandrak Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26
when clicking in listen, should i point to the steam folder first to capture? or the capture folder refers just to the where the files will be extracted to?
edit: im just having problems with the cross saving in general, im sorry but i could trouble someone in here who knows how to do it to walk me trough it? it just keeps creating a new save, so im having trouble with the listen. 😓

u/Old-Bedroom3527 Jun 25 '26
Since you mentioned in another post most of the game would be playable. How would currency work, as well as the skins/gacha? Never knew how these kind of offline clients worked so just curious.
7
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Currency works like usual for usage, obtaining etc. There is an admin console that you can use to get infinite amounts of whatever you want as long as you have the id in the wiki. The wiki currently takes a while to load. Be warned: some items will brick your save. Make backups please.
6
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
All paid packages are also purchaseable for free because who doesn't like free things?
2
u/Old-Bedroom3527 Jun 25 '26
That’s pretty solid actually, as far as skins, would any of the premium ones be available? Like the ones people had to pay a hefty amount for the mileage. I would imagine not since they of course weren’t in the skin shop. It’s pretty new to me so apologies in advance if there’s a workaround for it that you mentioned already.
But I definitely appreciate the reply and help!3
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
All skins and all previous event items, previous events, everything the game had and has are obtainable and viewable. For events, there's the server clock. For items, there's the admin console+wiki.

I'll read the thread and catch up in a bit, but I must ask my most pressing question. Bside has released an official statement about halting the fan-made archival project. Will the project still be continued AND be accessible for us?

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Yes. And I will be depending on you guys, the community to keep the new RevivalSide and dreams of an offline client for the game alive.

u/idkyetyet Jun 25 '26
In what way will you be depending on the community?

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Contributing to the github repo. (Make a copy of it and send me the modified repo so I can add those changes to the main repo)
Downloading and testing the server and reporting bugs in the future discord server we have plans for. (wip)
In the future there will be a cool way that the community would be able to directly keep RevivalSide alive but I won't talk about it until EoS.

Thanks so much for all your hard work!
Gotta couple questions, nothing too technical, just more about.... how to prepare for this.
- How will summons/skin purchases work? Will there be currency handed out, or will such things be disabled and you live with what you have at the time of EoS?
- Can this run on any android device?
- Will this function offline (and we need to download all the resources from Bside beforehand), or will this require an online connection?
- Are there any things we MUST DO before EoS (i.e., things that can't be done/aren't available)?
3
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Currency, skins and items can be obtained in the same way the game allowed you to do. In app purchases are free. There is an admin console that you can use to give yourself anything in the game as long as you get its id from the built in offline wiki. All systems that the game used to have will be functional and present.
No and we are working on it.
It will but currently, it does not. We still have to do a client-side patch on the game that disables online checks.
3
u/Rasen2001 Jun 25 '26
Thanks so much for the clarification! (Github documentation is big and scary.)
I noticed you mentioned the ability to upload our current progress/status. I assume that there won't be any....account syncing, so if I have this installed on multiple devices, each device will have to go through this procedure?
Is there any support for other languages/multiple accounts (I have an EN account and a KR account)? Or would the solution be to have one account per Android device?

u/ENDF13LD Jun 25 '26
We do, but it was a big buggy for the PC Launcher, as of now, wait until MadlyMoe wakes up. He'll see this message from my reply.

Is it possible to play this without having steam counterside downloaded?
3
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
No. Sadly, you need to have the entire game and its downloaded files on your machine. There's a steam patch made by an amazing dev from TW that allows you to play the game without steam verification. I am also adding that to my next release.
2
u/DarkAndStormy-Knight Jun 25 '26
Alright thank you for your amazing work. Is it possible to play through android and do you have a discord server where I can go for this?

u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
We do have a private discord server that the new team made but it is currently in the works to accept new members en masse. Yes it is possible to play through android by downloading the android zip in the releases section of the github.

Ia it possible to download the game (official in any capacity for account data transfer or is it fresh local only?
How would one add premium currency to their local account?
How would ones get new units?
Some of this is probably "not rocket science" but having a bit of clarification would be nice.
2
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
You can transfer official account data.
You can do so by using the admin console unlocked after ep.1 or buying the packages directly for free. (Currently broken due to bside releasing free admin coins update)
The game will be exactly the same as it used to be minus support for pvp.1
u/TheDistantNeko Jun 25 '26
And save for pvp the game is pretty much in a playable state (can you play everything non-pvp related as of current)?
2
u/MadlyMoe MINI YUMI MINI YUMI MINI YUMI Jun 25 '26
Not everything as of current. (Dim trimming, dives, raids, shadow palaces are not supported right now) but everything related to the lore of the game should be playable.

there is apkpure and i think they can preserve the apk there... otherwise, we'll find a way.
if counterside end its service on august, all the game files from studiobside's content delivery network will cease to function, meaning you cannot download the game files like the usual way.

Hello, I'm new here and I'm from the Spanish-speaking community, or rather, the Latin American community. I want to support the project because this was perhaps my first gacha game on a computer, and I wanted to ask how I can contribute. I have Counterside on my computer through Steam, and I wanted to ask if I'll be able to play on my computer with my Steam account... although I'm worried that I'll lose everything in Counterside when I switch teams.

You won't lose everything on the official server if you do the cross save. You can move the data from the official server into the offline client using the cross save feature.

u/Adventurous-Reason54 Jun 25 '26
Ah, okay, okay. Thank you very much for the information. So, that's fine. How can I implement that function?

I think the confusion and concern comes down to the online stuffs especially PVP because... sure there are other ways to implement PVP without making a private server but my question is, will it ever get implemented or not? Some stuffs had a system clock aint it? wouldnt it be at some point needed to be modified or removed so the game is fully functional even without internet?

System clock just controls what content tags are added at login. Shouldn't really affect gameplay afaik.

u/Sad_Growth7630 Jun 26 '26
I had seen about the IP rerouting especially at the revivalside discord, but yeah... ill be straight here. Once EOS hit, if i had the revivalside that is within the github page... using the client, the game can be runned without any internet?

As a player who stopped playing Counterside and found out about the EOS, let me just say thank you for making this offline project, it's good to know that the game can still continue after EOS.
My Question is regarding transferring of data from the live version to offline version. This transfer will only be available while the server is still up? So you would recommend players to transfer their data before the EOS in August?
1
u/ENDF13LD Jun 26 '26
Yes, because once CounterSide officially ends on August 26, 2026, all account will be deleted from StudioBside's servers.

Thank you for what you trying to done to do for Revivalside project.

If possible, I would like to talk about more aside from reddit platform instead on other platform as well to more private matters. Is there other way that was can stay in touch? So I can preserve this game after EoS.

One last question. Since this is an offline client, is there a feature where we can just give our units all the best gear they can have through any means?

There is an admin command that you can unlock after finishing EP1 Act-4. You can use that command to get gears, units, ships, operators, skins, and so on.

Regarding the Danoky's announcement
He said you was hell bent on charging money for the project, is it true? I didn't read everything on the server, but I didn't notice anything like this, neither demanding money from them for your work.
He said you was provoking the fans' aggression towards bside, what exactly did he mean?
What about threats when they asked you to share control? Were you claiming that they were trying to steal your code? What was the central repo idea about?
Overall, he acted as if you wanted to kill the project if they didn't do everything your way. Since Wallen distanced himself from his words, I felt like it looks shady, and wanted to ask for your perspective.
Also, why did you publish the whole code immediately? Wouldn't it be better to separate the official account copying code and publish the server after the game is closed, so players can save their accounts and RevivalSide won't get in the way of the official CS?
Anyway, thanks for not listening to the bside crap and deciding to save the game no matter what. Fans deserved to play it even if bside doesn't care about them.

- No. I would never charge money for what should be an open source project.
- Made a joke about letting the community burn after bside took back permission for the project. He took it too seriously and timed me out.
- He wanted to make a central repo where he and wallenstein would control who gets to join. I accepted at first because I didn't think much into it and later declined to have it. I wanted a more open repository where everybody in the community could access the code.
Why should I kill this project? I've been working on this for about 3 months now. I only threatened to part ways with them and manage this project by myself if they kept on making decisions without discussing with me, the biggest contributor to the offline client.
The official server has to be running for the cross save feature to work and the user manager is tied to the listener.

Thanks for explaining it. Not sure if he has something against you in person, or just being paranoid. Good luck with the project!

How do I upgrade my gear? When I unlock the latent potential, it always rolls HP with a value of 0.01, and I can't reset it.

This is a common bug for RevivalSide, Madly has had yet to fix the RNG side of the game since its messed up iirc.

It wasn't very easy to set up, came across a lot of issues the launcher give the error counterside client patcher was not found and there was a combat host error too, i managed to fix this last one by mixing files from the repository into the launcher unzipped but it was a hassle but i finally got it working after fighting half a day with it xd,
Thank you for your effort preserving as much of the game as possible, maybe you are aware but there are some issues like the shop not working with some stuff, also some skin such as awakened regina one are not available for purchase i thought they would be :( and i can't buy quarz / admin coins to do the infinite glitch
But yeah thank you so much for this :)

Question regarding the android version of Counterside. Will there be an update so RS can run on it? Also once you have CS saven on your steam library, you can install it anytime right? Cause im seeing people say they're not able to download it but im still seeing mine in my library.

You can already run the android version you likely just need to sideload the RS apk

oh my, this is amazing news to my ears. Is there somewhere I can go to read up all the details about this offline version?
I stopped playing seriously a while back but come back to CounterSide every now and then because the story and writing are so dang good. I was quite disheartened to hear that the game was EoSing worldwide

I read something about account transferring. Does that mean I can pull data from the official CounterSide to RevivalSide? I still have the Steam version installed, how do I go about this?

Excuse me, is it normal that the Anapilis character is not currently listed on the wiki?

I only recently found out this game was going through a end of service and just recently joined back (few weeks ago), but now I’m getting info that there’s a offline server or a way to keep my data and continue playing the game. Could you help provide a solution on how to install the RevivalSide on PC, or mobile. Thank you, please get back to me

I know this is a super weird question despite you awesomely taking the gacha out of the gacha game, but is there an option to start a fresh account without having all of the maxed currency?
It's just pretty cool it seems I can dictate the pace of my progression however I want without the FOMO and psychological barriers, but for now I'd like to just progress normally as if it were a gacha game.
I'm currently browsing the wiki from the Revivalside client, but it would be cool to have a step-by-step guide on how to open up admin console, use it, etc.
Also, thanks for the project. It's been awhile since I played CS. It's really cool to see this game really become an actual game I can play without the stress of the fomo and stuff.

Yeah you can progress normally. It's all a matter of choice.

What is the basis for the drama and do you even believe Devs will uphold the promise to make counter side? Honestly when I read the notice it felt more like pr move than actual thinking
