Hello citizens,It's been a while since the last announcement... and that’s because the Vellocet crew has been heads-down, working like maniacs on a ton of new stuff!We’ve always prided ourselves on transparency with the team, so here’s a full rundown of where we’re at, what we’ve done, and where we’re going next.
About ANEURISM IV
Back in March, we released ANEURISM IV — everyone’s favourite society simulator. Since then, we’ve shipped 7 major updates in just 5 months. That’s 1.4 major updates a month — that should make the Consul proud.That said, updates will slow down so we can deliver smaller, more frequent ones at a steady pace. (In fact, we’re working on one right now.)We’ve got 3 dedicated maintainers for ANIV (plus a few part-timers who jump in when needed), so rest assured — this game is far from done. The massive Misery update, featuring a brand-new map, has been in the works for months. And for those worried about Nightmare — don’t be. We’ve made sure it’ll still be playable even after Misery drops.Timeline? You’ll get to suffer in Misery this Fall. Hooray.Working on ANEURISM IV has been both such a blast and huge learning experience for us that it lit a fire under the team — we wanted to see just how far we could go with game development. We’ve always wanted to stand out as the kind of developers who dare to make different, unexpected, and ambitious things. The challenges we’ve faced over these past months have given us the kind of growth and experience that usually takes other studios years to acquire, and that’s going to help us push our games even further. ANIV gave us the perfect opportunity to prove what we’re capable of, and we plan to keep seizing those opportunities wherever we can.On feedback: We’re always watching Discord, Steam discussions, and even YouTube content. Many of our updates are shaped by your suggestions. That said, we can’t please everyone — our priority is to keep steering the game toward its original vision, while weaving in as much community input as we can.
About the Community Changes
We’d considered spinning up a separate Discord for ANEURISM IV — but that’s not happening anymore. We’ve decided to keep everything under one roof.You might’ve noticed some missing channels. That’s intentional — a cleanup to focus on quality. Suggestions and bug reports were piling up for months before March 2025, and we needed to get things under control. We may bring the suggestion board back soon, but for now our focus is on QoL improvements and bug fixes.
For support, tickets on Discord are still the fastest way to get help. But for more serious issues — or if you’re not on Discord — email us at [email protected] so we can track things better.
What’s Next?
Beyond ANEURISM IV updates, the rest of Vellocet is cooking up something special. We can’t say much yet, but the Discord theories have been… entertaining. All we’ll say for now: Kidneystan’s been up to no good. If you love what we’ve been building, feel free to leave us a review.If you don’t… well, you know where to yell at us (Discord).And remember: never stop the wash.
