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.
[ 2024-10-19 19:32:32 CET ] [ Original post ] 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! - Higher resolution assets across the board!
- New 16:9 layout!
- Improved UI during debates. Improved UI in general!
New gameplay features!- Controller Support!
- Achievements!
- Dynamic conversation logging!
- The groundbreaking ability to save whenever you want!
Additional script polish! - A few weirdly worded lines are a little less weird!
- Em dashes instead of double hyphens! Double hyphens are a categorical evil.
- Perhaps a little something extra somewhere...
