**Backend team**\
We worked on various projects.\
On the product development part:\
— Main Hall ! It’s one of the key features in the game and some cool stuff are coming very soon\
— Stone resource: the stone is now one of the main resources in the game\
— Building Queues: we finished it this week, now a builder system is implemented\
— Reworking the resources generation: it will soon be a click-to-collect system with various boosts coming from the Terrains, Main Hall and other boosters\
— Terrains and Tiles rules: some new tiles are coming in the map like forests, mountains etc… That could boost some part of your village\
— Map generation script, to bootstrap a new map easily\
— Limited Time Features are still in progress

**On the tech part**\
— A new Analytics internal system, based on a MongoDB database, that will help us track key events\
— CI improvements\
— Tests for an Infra on Swarm\
— We’ll soon add a BullMQ implementation to have a good task queue (on top of Redis)
