Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher: Fixes from the Sequel!

In developing the sequel Pro Philosopher 2: Governments and Grievances (out now!), there were a number of things we learned and improved that we're now back-porting to the original game! Benefits of using (mostly) the same engine! And some of these fixes are pretty significant. Here's the highlights list:

All our art is using a higher quality compression algorithm! It's subtle, but the game definitely looks better!
1, 2, 3, and 4 are shortcuts for the various argument buttons on PC!
Little gaps at the top and bottom of cutscenes (which you hopefully never noticed) are gone!
Saves during notifications will now load correctly!
Fixed an edge case where saves could be strange after a transition!

We also made the following script changes to the goofy bonus argument, just for fun:

We once again updated Ari's game preferences to reflect the new hotness. Though really Ari needs to stop shilling for AAA games. Play more indies, Ari!
We also updated the very end to reflect THAT PRO PHILOSOPHER 2 IS NOW OUT.

Everyone Socrates Jones knows seems to love philosophy— everyone except Socrates himself. A simple accountant from New York, Socrates was never interested in philosophical questions or the art of arguing. But when he finds himself debating for his life against a queue of famous philosophers, Socrates Jones has no choice but to expand his horizons in a quest to find the nature of morality.

The classic game, rebuilt for Steam!
Face off in interactive debates against a host of famous philosophers— and a deer repellent salesman. Ask questions and present counterpoints to find problems in your opponent's ideas and cut through their NONSENSE!

A loving homage to a certain lawyerly game series, Pro Philosopher introduces its own mechanical twists to cross-examination gameplay, all wrapped up in a charming story and healthy helping of humor.

If you've never played Pro Philosopher before, now's a great time to discover why people enjoyed it the first time around— It's free! And fans of the original release can look forward to:

Greatly polished presentation!
