DD #38 Caffeine Overdose

Hi everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.

It has been a busy week. A lot of things need to be done. Thus, I was trying to cure sleep with tons of coffee. Unfortunately, my current human vessel seems to get a bit overwhelmed by that. The experience is unpleasant, involving sweating, abnormal heartbeat speed, high blood pressure, vomiting, and digestive system malfunction. It's exhausting and unsleepable.
But, let's look at the good side, I didn't take the cat form. Otherwise, that may be lethal. :3
To reflect on this new knowledge I learned, coffee in the game may now cause poison effects on cats and dogs. Certainly, you can be creative by using coffee on enemies.

Alright, now let's go down to something more interesting stuff of this week.
Continuing from last week's work. The audio volume is now more customizable.
Three more audio channels, namely BGS/ME/VO, can now be set separately.


Meanwhile, the main content update of the week is around the new research sector of Site Demeter where there were once three anomalies contained in this area. The first one of them comes with a document that mentions "NEOLITHIC" for the first time in a Foundation document, linking back to another event that happened back in 2013 long before this game's 2nd reboot in 2020 when the world was still called SAPC++, familiar names are mentioned just as the relic itself repeatedly reappearing in the last 17 years. The second one is a bit different as it's an anomaly that you can have a conversation with and your choice may have a direct impact on this anomaly. The third may not even be there or may always be there. The room is both empty and filled. Nobody remembers.

Other small changes include new equipment, a new blueprint, new item prefixes, and a unique mechanism of an anomaly.

That's for this week. I guess I will try to take a nap.

Added a special tag to all dogs, including zombie dogs.
Added a special tag to all cats, including ghost cats
Coffee can now cause poison to cats and dogs! Zombie dogs and ghost cats just have a relatively higher resistance to it. DO NOT LET YOUR CATS AND DOGS DRINK COFFEE! SERIOUSLY! Otherwise, I will not specifically make this change to the game.
Updated the coffee's item description to reflect this.
Other drinks that contain caffeine are currently not that lethal in the game. But, you shall still avoid using them on your pets in real life.
Added the document of Object UPEI2195. That's the last anomaly document for the Research Sector of Site Demeter. (The object itself is still working in progress. Thus, blocked by laser bars.)

#########Content#####################
给所有的狗狗加入了一个特殊的标签,包括僵尸犬。
给所有的猫猫加入了一个特殊的标签,包括幽灵猫猫。
咖啡现在可能对所有种类的猫猫和狗狗造成中毒效果!幽灵猫猫和僵尸犬只是对此抗性较高。所以不要让你的猫猫和狗狗喝咖啡!这是个非常严肃的话题。否则的话,我不会专门给游戏加这条设定。
在咖啡的物品描述上加入了这条。
其余游戏中包含咖啡因的饮料目前不会有这么致命的效果。但是,在现实生活中应当避免对宠物使用。
加入了物体UPEI2195的介绍文档。这是前哨基地-德米特的研究部门楼层的最后一篇异常物体的文档。(该物体本身还在开发中。因此目前有激光围栏阻挡与之交互。)
