Social Justice Warriors has been enhanced with the “Warriors Are Everywhere” Update! This update follows the “Spicy, Juicy” v1 Update which doubled the dialog and added dozens of sound effects and UI improvements.

Thanks to feedback from players, reviewers, and Indiecade judges (plus rising to the #20 spot on Steam Greenlight), I couldn’t resist releasing another update full of new content.  The “Warriors Are Everywhere” v2 Update adds 5 new warrior types to serve as allies against 3 new troll bosses.

The Social Justice Bard

The Social Justice Bard entertains with tales of your past heroes’ victories to soothe your mind and boost your ego.

The Social Justice Sorcerer

The Social Justice Sorcerer rewards martial prowess with gifts of arcane knowledge and enchanted weapons.

The Social Justice Ranger

The Social Justice Rangers support by striking from afar, piling on when trolls are most vulnerable.

The Social Justice Necromancer

The Social Justice Necromancer encourages the chaos, resurrecting its most destructive allies along with armies of skeletons in its quest to become a Social Justice Lich.

The Social Justice Druid

The Social Justice Druid is an outsider who mysteriously appears to ask riddles about society and your place in it, with your answers reshaping reality in the process.

You’ll need their support to take on three new trolls with the Monstrous Troll trampling your dignity, the Troll Warlord marshalling an army of supporters, and the Troll Assassin dismantling your online identity piece by piece.

The Social Justice Champion

If you navigate these treacherous times strategically and use your new allies to your advantage, you may attain the power of the Social Justice Champion, who has grown beyond the petty squabbling and takes no joy in tearing down other human beings. The Champion relies on mediation and reconciliation to clear the gauntlet of hostile foes, listening to their concerns and proposing mutually beneficial compromise. It’s not easy and the utility of compromise is just as uncertain as attacking and destroying opponents, but a Champion values its beliefs more than temporary gratification.

Unfortunately, reality is not as easy to navigate as this game, especially given that real-life people can be far more caustic and hurtful than the game’s trolls. To offset the negativity, all proceeds Nonadecimal Creative receives from Social Justice Warriors sales will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for the remainder of 2014. You can find more information in the accompanying post.

You can purchase the enhanced edition of Social Justice Warriors on itch.io for $3 and help fund depression research. You can still support the game by casting your vote for it on Steam Greenlight!
