Dear CEOs,

This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.

We thank all our CEOs for all the support and love sent to CounterSide.

In this month's Dev Notes, we'll provide more details about the upcoming updates during May.





First, we would like to share the news about the Mainstream episode that many CEOs eagerly await.

Before introducing the upcoming Mainstream EP. 13, we would like to inform you about the Mainstream update schedule.

As mentioned in the previous Developer’s Note, CounterSide has been gradually revealing key narrative threads through the Substream episodes—threads that tie directly into the Mainstream storyline. At the same time, we’ve been continuing to unfold the stories of key characters from the same narrative perspective.

The upcoming Mainstream EP.13 – The Laws of Creating a World, a full-scale story will develop through these narrative connections, offering more substantial content than the past ones.

Due to the sheer scale of this episode, EP. 13 will be released in two parts. Part 1 is set to update on May 20 (UTC-5), while Part 2 is planned for release in June.

We understand that many of our CEOs might feel disappointed by the split update, especially after waiting so long for the next Mainstream episode.

However, the amount of content in Part 1 alone is comparable to ACTs 1 through 4 of the Substream combined, hence there will be plenty to dive into.

While splitting the Mainstream was not ideal, we appreciate your understanding that it is essential for achieving the highest quality storytelling for Season 3.

In this Mainstream EP. 13, Swan kidnaps Noelle in order to achieve her own goals, while a massive spaceship appears in the Normalside. As the situation unfolds, each faction scrambles to locate Swan and respond to the growing crisis.

Will they succeed in tracking her down? And what is the true nature of this enormous spaceship? We look forward to your excitement and anticipation for what’s to come.


In the upcoming Mainstream, the newest rookie of the Fenrir Squad, Noellele Wright, will appear in an all-new form.

Personification of Sephira Noellele Wright remains a Counter-type Sniper employee like the original SSR version. However, as illustrated below, she’ll be returning with wings—this time as an air-type employee.

To let everyone enjoy the Mainstream episode without spoilers, we won’t be diving too deeply into her backstory just yet. As for her detailed combat concept, we will be sharing more information in the upcoming patch notes, so please stay tuned.





The Counter Pass employee for May will be Black Rose of Betatrix, following Gambler, who received much love from the CEOs.

Black Rose will be a Soldier-type Sniper employee who is being prepared in a multi-soldier format.

Black Rose is a new face in the Mansion, and the face under her visor might be familiar to the CEOs, but please do not confuse her with a Persona version of another employee.





Justine Macy, who first appeared in the Substream Alice Emergency and was loved by many CEOs, is scheduled to be released as a new Operator.

Justine Macy is an Operator who grants the effect of increasing the Skill Haste of ally Rangers and enhances their offensive abilities.

Look forward to Justine's arrival as an Operator, and please refer to the patch notes for detailed information







The adult version of Nibble, who was revealed in the Substream, Winter Vacation, will be appearing as a Danger Close boss.

Like the characteristics shown in the story, Nibble absorbs power and becomes stronger each time she defeats the opponent.

Also, be aware that she will unleash powerful attacks when she absorbs a certain amount of power, and we hope you will strategize to defeat this new Danger Close boss.




The employees for the next Alteranium Reactor are Snipers, following the recent balance patch for the Sniper class.

As mentioned in the March Developer's Note, stat adjustments such as ATK and HP were carried out through the balance patch, and the Alteranium Reactors are being prepared in a way that strengthens the employees' advantages or compensates for their weaknesses.

The Alteranium Reactor targets are Lucid, Drekavac, and Morgana, and detailed information will be provided in a future patch note




The cross-server Squad Tournament, which many CEOs have been waiting for, is scheduled to be held in May.

Squad Tournament The Worlds will be conducted simultaneously on the Korea and Global servers, so there will be some differences from the previous Squad Tournaments.

First, banned units will be voted on separately for each server, but the banned units determined from both servers will be applied to all servers.

Also, the qualifiers will be conducted separately for each server, with 16 CEOs being qualified from each server.

In the elimination round, 4 qualifiers from each server will be assigned to each group, featuring matchups between the Korea server and the Global server.

As the Squad Tournament The Worlds is the first content where all CEOs from both servers will participate, we have prepared enhanced ranking and prediction rewards, so please look forward to the event and participation.



This concludes the brief overview of the May update.

We’re celebrating an incredibly impressive milestone today: FAR: Lone Sails recently got its twenty thousandth user review on Steam! We’re immensely flattered and thrilled that so many of you took the time to leave a thumbs up on our game, thereby helping more people discover it.

FAR: Lone Sails released almost seven years ago. It was Okomotive’s first game, and the team at the time had no idea if a game like this would or could be successful and find its audience. If it had failed or flown under the radar, the chances that the studio would ever even be able to make and release another game were slim.

In the time since May 2018 though, many of you have proven beyond a doubt that our artsy, melancholy adventure games find plenty of interest, love and appreciation out here. Even today, we still receive fan emails, children’s drawings and passionate speculation and theorizing on a regular basis, which warms all of our hearts every single time.

We cannot thank you all enough for all this support! 💖

Your words, your reviews and your recommendations genuinely make a huge difference and we are infinitely grateful. Without you, we couldn’t have continued making FAR: Changing Tides and Herdling. Let this wonderful occasion be your invitation to play (and perhaps review?) FAR: Changing Tides if you haven’t gotten around to it yet, and to add Herdling to your wishlist so you’ll hear about it the moment it becomes available this Summer.

Hello players,
It has been three days since the launch of Desperate Place, and after receiving your valuable feedback, the development team will be rolling out the following updates:

Major Adjustments

• Greatly reduced the attack range of the Sieger, in order to alleviate negative gameplay experiences when defending against it with tower formations.
  
• Enhanced the range growth of various towers upon upgrading.
  
• Adjusted the positioning of certain defense towers on some maps.

Balance Adjustments

• Increased the HP of all towers to a certain extent.
  
• Adjusted the positioning of certain defense towers on some maps.
  
• Changed the tower type at the endpoint of the β-2 area.
  
• Extended the smoke duration of the T660 Deceiver-type robot.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the tutorial level could become stuck during progression.

We would like to thank all the players who purchased Desperate Place for your support and constructive criticism. The development team remains committed to delivering a high-quality game experience. We're always listening and will continue to work hard to bring you even better gameplay.
Enjoy the game!

Hello,

I just wanted to share with you the progress on the upcoming DLC, along with some screenshots.

Given the immense amount of work, I’ve decided to split the DLC into two smaller parts, as I don’t want you to wait too long to play it.

The first part will be 1929-1930, titled "Taming the Tigers," and it’s progressing well.

The Central Plain War and the Sino-Soviet 1929 conflicts are almost finished. I’m currently working on the situation in Shanghai and all the underground struggles, as well as adding new actions for the Communist Party.

After that, I’ll mainly need to add the dialogues and events for the different Communist groups.

The content will be dense, and I’ve counted 74 new characters so far (the list keeps growing every day).

My goal is to have it done before summer, if possible, or by September. I’ll try to limit myself, but I keep falling down rabbit holes, leading to compulsive book readings and tons of new content.

Stay tuned!
