Version 16: The Midnight Update

[p]Citizens of ANEURISM IV, have you heard of the Midnight Bloc? They've just settled in ANEURISM IV and have revolutionized business as we know it.[/p][p][/p][h2]Heads‑Up on what’s next[/h2][p]Version  16 is the opening move in Aneurism’s biggest overhaul yet. Its new systems are groundwork for version  17, which will bundle the fresh Misery map with the long‑awaited apartment rework.[/p]

• [p]In Nightmare, food stands will appear alongside Paystations.[/p]
• [p]In Misery, food stands will replace Paystations entirely.[/p]

[p]Nightmare is moving to “legacy” status as we adopt a streamlined map‑development pipeline that promises far greater stability and performance. We’ll keep a few official servers running Nightmare for die‑hard fans, but most servers will shift to Misery once version 17 lands. You can find some pictures of the upcoming Misery map on our Instagram page.[/p][p][/p][h2]New Content[/h2]

• [p]Added the Night Market, which complements the DealerNet. It functions as a reverse‑DealerNet where players pre‑pay with credits, receive a receipt code, and pick up their goods once any Dealer/Banker fulfils the order (fulfiller receives the tax; buyer gets a waypoint).[/p]
