Pro Philosopher 2 News

Thank you so much for such a positive response to Pro Philosopher 2: Governments and Grievances! We've been blown away by all your kind words and also all your amazing questions.



Join us as we play through the Karl Marx chapter of the game and answer all of your burning questions about not only Marx's chapter, but also the game and its entire development. We will try not to spoil the ending of the game and will be hosting a spoiler stream later on.

The stream will start at 11 am et, or 8 am pt on the Steam page and on PrinceMolder's Twitch page.

We have a bunch of exciting updates and announcements coming out, so be sure to follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Tiktok, or our Discord, or just keep reading these Steam updates! You're already doing great. We've come a long way since launch and we are so glad to have you along for the ride.



We hope to see you there to share the excitement of launch and finally put all your lingering questions to rest.

See you this Thursday!

• Fixed a bug where trying to call a certain chart fan a fascist during his first arguments would break reality and stop all the argument buttons from working. You are now properly able to nuke your credibility, if you please.
  
• Added a few more valid options in Finale 2 and Finale 3.
  
• Replaced the clarification for the final statement in Finale 3 with a slightly more flavorful one (which had been written initially for a cut statement but still works there.)
  

Keep the thoughts coming! Here and on Discord, we be gobbling them thoughts up.

Hey all,
Games out. People seem to be liking it. WOO! Feels good. But!
There are a few hiccups people pointed out that were quick and easy to fix, so we did so.

• In Chapter 4, the wording of a few lines made it sound like Lenin came up with the phrase "Dictatorship of the Proletariat." Enough people read them as attribution, so we changed them.
  
• In Chapter 5, the description of "Tribalism" was worded in an unnecessarily complex way. So the wording has been streamlined to be more clear, as you can't "Press for clarification" your own idea slate.
  

We are also investigating a bug where, when loading a save on certain lines, "New Text" will appear at the start of the line. This is a systematic edge case that we missed, so the best fix for this might take a little bit longer!
Thank you everyone who has played the game so far. Keep the notes and feedback coming— we're keeping an eye both here and on the discord!

THE DAY IS HERE!! After 5 years of working nights and weekends, Pro Philosopher 2 is finally live. Anime Locke, Machiavelli, Confucius and Marx have been eager to challenge each and every one of you, as have all the other characters we have yet to reveal. I trust you'll give them a good (verbal) fight.

To celebrate the big day, we've made a new trailer! And it's easily our most unique yet. When you publish your own indie game, no one can stop you from making a music video:

We had a blast putting this together! And if you got the words "Pro Philosopher 2" stuck in your head, well, that's kinda the point. Thanks to our composer Matt Klingensmith, our sound designer Chris Burgess, and singer DNCrystal for helping us produce something special.

[h2]A Wild Soundtrack Approaches![/h2]


Speaking of music, this trailer track will serve as the final cherry on top of the official Pro Philosopher 2 Soundtrack. While it's not available just yet, the soundtrack will contain high-quality renders of every musical track in the game. And there is QUITE A BIT of music in Pro Philosopher 2; at least twice as much as the original game. Everything from character themes to tonal pieces; just what you need for a hard day of philosophizing. Keep an eye out for its release in the coming weeks!

Check out the page here.

[h2]So... go play![/h2]


I really cannot overemphasize just how excited and grateful we are that you all took an interest in this game. "Philosophy Debating Sim" isn't the most marketable of concepts, but if the original Socrates Jones showed us anything, it's that there are a bunch of wierdos, just like us, who are hungry to engage empathetically with fascinating ideas and with one another.

We'll be paying close attention to feedback over the next few weeks, and we have a few more events planned where you'll be able to interact with the devs. So join the discussion on Discord or here on the Steam forums to stay in the loop!

Happy Philosophizing,
Connor

Wow! Can you believe Pro Philosopher 2 launches next week? We've been working on it for years and we still have to pinch ourselves sometimes.

We've made a lot of significant changes to the game in the past months and weeks, finalizing everything so you can have the best experience possible when you enter the Intelligible Realm next Tuesday.

But why wait?!

We're launching a new demo that contains the ENTIRE FIRST CHAPTER of the game with all the bells and whistles that you can expect in the full game, including improved animations and sound effects!

And yes, your progress will carry over when you play the full game! We're cool like that. ;)

I have to warn you, it's going to be difficult. This is quite possibly the most difficult philosophical quandary ever faced by humankind.

The question is posed by your roommate, Jennifer.

It is...

[h3]Should[/h3]
[h2]You[/h2]


It's up to you to survive Jenn-Ageddon and the intricacies of roommate relationships, but we trust in your reasoning capabilities.

And most importantly, get ready to party!!! Or not. That's up to you.
