bad egg+ release message

Released on twitter on Dec. 27, 2018:

Suganuma Kyouji:

Please pardon me.  I am in charge of the scenario for Lucky Dog +bad egg.  Unworthy though I may be, this is Suganuma Kyouji.  The completion of the script and story of +bad egg was delayed due to personal reasons and other issues, and the release and sale of the game was detained for many years.  I would like to apologize for this again.  I am deeply sorry for this.

And so … finally, the release day of +bad egg has finally come!!

This is also thanks to everyone’s patronage and support.  I am deeply grateful to everyone and would like to thank everyone again.

To the fans of Lucky Dog 1, to everyone involved, thank you very much!!

Also … to everyone who has purchased +bad egg, it would be the greatest wish of I, who am not worthy, for everyone to enjoy the story of Daivan, Gian, and everyone else.  I hope everyone can relish the unfolding of the fiercely grand way one man – Giancarlo Bourbon del Monte – lives his life, surpassing even “luck,” in this corner of the world claimed by Daivan; and the fate of others around him at the turn of the 20th century as they are exposed, beaten, and then drawn together into one story by this one man’s way of life and “luck.”

YURA:

I am sorry for making everyone wait for such a long time.

On December, 28, 2018, Lucky Dog +bad egg has finally safely made it out of the gates.  I would like to thank everyone involved, starting with Suganuma and Jinnai and including the precious support of everyone involved and the staff, for making this possible.  Additionally, the continued survival of Tennenouji to this day is thanks to the players who have earnestly supported us.  I am deeply thankful to everyone for their patronage and support over this long period of time, and at the same time I hope everyone can at least glean a little enjoyment from Lucky Dog 1 +bad egg.

Like with the original Lucky Dog 1, the strategy of the Prison Escape part is a bit difficult to parse out…  I wish everyone the best of luck in guiding Gian to a successful jailbreak and in guiding him in a good direction.

I pray that after 8 years of incubation, Lucky Dog 1 +bad egg can be a beloved game to all.

bad egg+ tidbits: scenes 05

…And sorry, we’re right back to angst, haha.

Last batch!  More CR:5 and Giulio and … Gian’s backstory!  Gian’s parentage has actually been brought up in multiple Short Stories (SS) before, but never stated explicitly except in the first LD1 art book.  For those who don’t know, Gelsomina is Gian’s mom’s name.

I think this is going to be the last batch, though there’s one more message from tennenouji I want to work on 🙂

IT’S OUT!!

bad egg+ tidbits: scenes 04

I’ve been told the scans have been getting scary, so here’s a more lighthearted batch on the last night before bad egg+ release.

One thing that I may have misunderstood from the character profiles: whenever it says that Walther, Landolfo, or Riccardo were “looking for jobs with friends,” I think it was actually referring to that same group – the four (with Teshikaga) were looking together, it seems?  I am a bit sad that none of them get a route, though…  (I also wonder who their voice actors are, since I couldn’t find the real names behind some of the pseudonyms.)

bad egg+ tidbits: scenes 03

Sorted it out, and I’ve got about 2 updates left, though some of them will have to be just summaries.  Lots of Gian and Bakshi in this.  NSFW because Bakshi is being Bakshi.  Frankly, I haven’t got a clue on the dynamic between these two.

(On another note, another one of Bakshi’s titles appears to be “Walking Disaster.”  So easily misinterpreted.)

Scenes are definitely out of order.  I think there’s some from all three parts.

bad egg+ tidbits: scenes 02

More!  There were a couple I really wanted to do…

As always, rough translations, no editing, the works.  The scans are from magazine scans I got over the years.  (Thanks pingu!)

bad egg+ tidbits: scenes 01

Gonna try to translate some of the scenes from the magazine for kicks!  …And for angst!  Translations are rough, as usual for these.

The scenes are going to come from Cool B magazines in the past year or so, but the scan quality varies between each pic.  Sorry about that.  …Also, some of these aren’t the most complete version of the scene for that CG, but I’m missing a couple relevant volumes, I think, and this is what I have.  Finally, many of these aren’t new scenes but I’m in a very bad egg+ mood right now…

bad egg+ tidbits: character pics

I forget if I ever posted the pics of the new guys, even though you can find them on the official website (and the twitter buttons are right in the side bar).  …I’ll throw in the old crew, too, because they’re pretty.

The pics are from cropped from Cool-B wallpapers.

bad egg+ tidbits: character info

Late night update on character info because why not lol.  This is going to be a bit messy because I’m working with a lot of blurbs and quotes, but I’ll try to keep relevant information together.  Note that translations are going to be rough.  They’re from magazines over the past few years, but mostly in 2018 and the recent January 2019 issue.

As stated in the last post, bad egg is going to focus on Gian and Bakshi facing the previous CR:5 capos with 4 new followers (though apparently with no routes for them) in their new gang, DG.  I’ll go through them in turn.  If you’re interested in voices, you can hear them here.  Just click on the respective thumbnail up top and click on any of the purple buttons.  The summaries for the returning characters are largely the same as before.

bad egg+tidbits: story info

Because I don’t trust myself to put something together in time for release, I’ll put together what I can, piecemeal.  So here, for now, is a refresher and some story info.

First, to clarify something.  Bad egg+ is a standalone side game.  At one point in time, it was being written as an expansion that branches from the main game, but now it is packaged as an independent, doesn’t-include-original-game, doesn’t-require-original-game-to-play game.  The demo is available on tennenouji’s website (though you have to watch out and set the Unicode language to Japanese to work, as usual).  (It’s the top left button with Gian for Windows users, and top right with Giulio for Mac users.)

Just about everyone is aware now about the voice actor change.  Here’s the cast list again:

ジャンカルロ・ブルボン・デル・モンテ【CV：佐和真中】- Gian – Nakazawa Masatomo
ベルナルド・オルトラーニ【CV：Ash】- Bernardo – Kousaka Atsushi
ルキーノ・グレゴレッティ【CV：テトラポット登】- Luchino – Furukawa Makoto
ジュリオ・ディ・ボンドーネ【CV：蒼井夕真】- Giulio – Iguchi Yuuichi
イヴァン・フィオーレ【CV：冬ノ熊肉】- Ivan – Kumagai Kentarou
バクシー・クリステンセン【CV：広山和重】- Bakshi – Masuda Toshiki

There are also four additional characters (foils to the original four).

ヴァルター・ノイラート【CV：河村眞人】- Walther Neurath – Yamanaka Masahiro
ランドルフォ・メイスフィールド【CV：ジンジャー東雲】- Landolfo Masefield – ???
リッカルド・コロンナ【CV：千渡レナド】- Ricardo Colonna – ???
メフィスト（キリヒト）・テシカガ【CV：茶介】- Teshikaga – Katou Masayuki

The game is separated into three parts, similar to Lucky Dog 1: Prison, Rockwell, Daivan.  The summaries below are roughly taken from the interview in the Jan. 2019 issue of Cool-B.

• Prison: Madison has deteriorated and things are crueler than before, and that Very Important Letter never reached Gian and is MIA.  The days close in on Gian and the other captains, each with their own intentions.  The walls are closing in, and it takes all of Gian’s knowledge, skills, and connections to pull things through (as well as player choice).
• Rockwell: Gian starts off this part trapped in a small, enclosed space.  Who?  What?  Why?  Where?  When?  How?  Gian must escape, but in the process, his good luck burns brighter and brighter … and based on player choice, may curdle into disastrous misfortune.
• Daivan: Gian works along with the CR:5’s enemy, the GD and Bakshi.  Gian and Bakshi form their own gang, DG, bring in new allies, and set out to destroy.  The Chicago Outfit’s encroached on CR:5 territory, and Gian barges into the midst of this conflict to stamp out all his enemies.  Will he truly part ways with the CR:5?  Will he continue on with Bakshi and his new group?

Also mentioned is that Gian’s past and origins are finally brought to light, as well as the history of the organization.  There will be a new game system, so even if you make the same choices as in a previous playthrough, it might not result in the same outcome.

Additionally, there are Afterstories (epilogues) for all four captains that continue from the main game.

Also mentioned in the interview is that the DVD is dual-layered.  So much content.

There’s mention they’re working secretly on a new project.  No information yet.

Finally, the translation of the story from tennenouji’s bad egg+ official site.

Is jailbreak really possible now that Madison Penitentiary has become a merciless Wild Wild West? And even if they do succeed in springing the joint, only reality waits beyond the walls – a world of naught but backstabbing. With the loss of his gold ring, Gian’s brilliant good luck burns bright alongside his raging hatred, brighter and brighter until it even begins to warp fate itself and rewrite the balance of power between Mafia and gangs alike. With the living weapon Bakshi by his side, they continue devouring, devouring … and when everything’s been devoured, what is left?
