  [/p][h3]To end off, a message from our C.M:
  
  "We've listened to the polls, and we're going to be making changes in our dev-ops.
  
  Small updates will be released over-time instead of lumping them in with major updates. Stay tuned. The stove is still on, we are indeed cooking. Give us time. To add to that, the dealer rework is NOT complete. We have some awesome systems (shoutout to Tarandus) coming to fates which are going to change the flow of gameplay. The ideas from our community have been astonishing, and we will be adopting some of them into our internal discussions. I want to take a minute to thank everyone for their immense feedback, constructive criticism is how we grow. Going forward, we will be changing up Aneurism IV. Certain buffs/debuffs or changes of systems will be considered game-wide events, and will be published to ⁠🚨︱consul-transmissions within the Discord and in change-logs to keep things interesting. This could be anything from food shortages, to economical depressions. Since moderating a community is not all that I want to do, I'm going to be more engaged in your Prole lives, whether for better, or for worse. Thank you for your continuing patience, we look forward to sharing more as time goes on, including some exciting news about neutral fates soon to join your experience in Aneurism IV." - A.C [/h3]

[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]
• [p]Added Food Stands: stall‑style vendors that let shop‑owners sell food shipments at their own prices. Shipments are restocked via the Night  Market.[/p]

• [p]Added burning air hazard to Volos Precinct (affects all fates except Slave).[/p]
• [p]Slave corpses now despawn faster.[/p]

Despite that, your encouragement has made all the difference. We're incredibly grateful for the resilience of our players and the lessons we've learned in the process. That knowledge will be crucial as we continue improving ANEURISM IV and prepare for the future of our upcoming titles. Thank you all![/p][p]And if you haven’t already—join our Discord!
