Whiskey-Four Release Thread [November 7th, 2024]

Don’t misunderstand I’m not saying you should rush but do you have a general idea as to when the full game will release and it’s all good if you don’t I’m just curious?

Wow, this is a game I really look forward to. I love how there aren’t really stat check, except like your body size. I often enjoy to just play through the story without having to mind about my stats.
Played through the demo about 2-3 times, two in reality but a lot of saves the second time around so I could try out the different choices.

I was very interested in all of the main characters. Driver is such a good partner. I love the irony of their call names. Whiskey don’t drink, Driver can’t drive.

Uly is an interesting character as well, sort of unhinged but I guess.

I really look forward to playing this on release! The demo was hella fun.

I’m sorry for the radio silence, but I was almost done with the epilogues when stuff started getting stressful IRL and I’ve been thrown off my writing routine. i’ve not touched Whiskey in about a week–the longest I’ve ever been away from the book actually lol–and I hope to get back into the writing routine next month.

We know life goes that way sometimes. Take care of yourself, and focus on your writing when you can come to it refreshed and with enthusiasm. I know it’ll be worth the wait.

Your writing speed is pretty prodigious. I wouldn’t worry about it, we all love reading what you put out and waiting for a game never killed anyone.

Now stovepipe jams, on the other hand…

Don’t worry, the enthusiasm is still there! I’m just busy and tired lol. I’m so damn close to finishing it, it’s annoying.

It shouldn’t be too much longer of a wait, hopefully!

Super excited for some more of your work, Bacon!

Let’s just say if you happen to need somebody to play early privately test the game for you, just hit me up! :wink:

I can’t remember if you have a patreon for expanded access or not.

I am not dead!

I took the entire month of September off, which I’m not proud of but it’s been a hectic few weeks and I really didn’t have the time or mental energy. I’m back to writing now, though!

The grunt writing for Whiskey-Four is 99% done! I have maybe 500 words left before I reach the end and can go back through filling in a few placeholders, editing, and perfecting what I can before the beta.

Thank you for all the patience!

Don’t ever feel bad for needing time off from writing to deal with life - you’re one of the most consistently hard-working people here, and you’re allowed to put yourself first once in a while. :slightly_smiling_face: I hope things are better now that you’re writing again. And thanks for checking in!

It’s a striking view. A massive green gas giant occupies much of the sky, dwarfing even the yellow star beside it.
Polyphemus is a moon. A sizable moon, but a moon nonetheless.

This is fine, but then:

Security wise, it’s a terrible idea to utilize GPS, especially on a foreign planet as unsympathetic to the Galactic Union as Polyphemus is.

Polyphemus is a moon, but it refers to it as a planet only 3 pages later…? This is from the very beginning of the game.

Edit:

“After the incident Uvarov was so heartbroken, or perhaps terrified, that they moved their office to a new planet. An up and coming frontier world called Polyphemus.”

'nother one.

Wait are we able to sleep with Shonin even though he isn’t an RO? I saw someone mention turning him down. What was the choice to do so? Oh and Driver

Iirc for Shonin to flirt with Whiskey you need to choose the youngest option for a face and one of the less muscualr body types.
As for Driver, you need to be interested in men and that’s it I think? There is one moment when you can flirt with him during your first mission so maybe that’s a requirement too.

This is fantastic read, couldn’t put it aside until the finish. Came here to check how is the progress with ITFO book two and found this gem. When can we expect the full release?

3 Likes

The author is still working on it.
Also, it is not proper to ask the author when the story finish cause it adds unnecessary pressure to them.

Tysm, I was quite sad to see our time with Shonin to be so short. Now I can go flirt with the old man
