Do not consult a philosophy major. If you consult an academic philosopher, get someone with at least a masters. Remember that at many schools, philosophy majors are 12 credit hours from math majors. I'm not knocking them, but relying on an undergrad with something as top-heavy as philosophy is a recipe for disaster.
If you've read what you're saying you've read, there's a chance you've read as much as some of them anyhow.
I'm 50/50 on if you should consult someone or not. On one hand, philosophy is so beautiful once you tear it open, and for 99% of people, you need to be taught how to think that way. Not what to think, just how to approach the questions, and how to wrap your mind around the subtexts and contexts and biases.
On the other hand, it's your game, and there's a very real chance of getting too bogged down in philosophy and losing the thread.
Good luck, generally. This looks really cool!
