Enjoy Monkey Empire devblog and keep in touch with the ape game development

Backend team
- We reached our final step on the new clans system, and are reviewing it before releasing it to the frontend team 
- We added a “map search” feature, that will allow a user to search specific elements around their village -> terrains like Banana depots, Stone depots etc.. and AI Outpost, or simply villages inside a specific radius, with a specific level, so it can be targeted for an attack or loot. 
- We added a new Global Summary, that sums up all the infos concerning attacks around a village, like all the attacks done or in progress, same for the attacks suffered, but also the different attacks and loots done to terrains 
- We’re still working on the terrains additions (attacking a terrain already being looted), but it’s a bit of a challenge to do it the clean way, without breaking the existing architecture around attacks 
- Next steps: clan raids + resource storage vault v2 
Frontend team
By Samy
- We welcome Victor this week ! Glad to see our team growing. He is a talented 3D artist, and will help us having a beautiful game soon. 
- I have setup tasks to improve general UX. For example checking Resource Terrains and AI camps level and searching the ones near your village automatically. 
- On the game design side I did a quick pass to improve game balance, and also making progress much faster at the beginning so you can quickly get your hands on the new features. 
- Finally, on the DevOps side, I have been writing a script to automatically build and package the game on Android, on our new build server.
