The Midnight Update
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.
Heads‑Up on what’s next
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.
In Nightmare, food stands will appear alongside Paystations.
In Misery, food stands will replace Paystations entirely.
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.
Changelog
New Content
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).
Added Food Stands: stall‑style vendors that let shop‑owners sell food shipments at their own prices. Shipments are restocked via the Night Market.
Added shipments: Gabagool, Sausage Rolls, and Canned Bread are now available as shipments through the DealerNet.
Added a new music track.

Renamed Dealer Pickups to Dead Drops for clarity.
Changed how DealerNet functions to support the new Night Market/Shipment workflow.
