**Backend**

***By Austin:***

* Started working on Ape machines. The past days were mainly spent preparing everything for the feature (documentation, tickets, architecture, etc…). To resume, the Ape Machine will be a one-per-village robot-like entity that ca, accompany a troop to battle, or help defend the village. This machine helps by improving some capabilities (like attack, speed, etc…) and can be improved via the Engineering center.

***By Floffy:***

* I focused on finishing the Quests feature, which is done. In order to test, I had to implement various log entries in the backend (for example, when creating an order, an attack, a facility, etc..). I’m now testing everything before pushing it to prod.
