# Weekly Update 21/11/2022

**Game Design**\
Created and Updated tickets Finished the basic Quest System Design — added more item and MKC rewards for each basic quest type Added the Quest popup to main HUD (whenever a Quest is progressed or completed, a popup appears) Added **Quest icon** with counter in the main HUD Added Battle Cost proposal (Battles vs. another player will cost 1 energy) to balance out the PvP, prevent excessive consecutive attacks, give more time for defense, boosts retention, and using MKC to restore energy — boosts monetization

**Backend**\
This week:\
\- Igor finished the map tile system.\
\- Igor worked on AI villages generation and system.\
\- Jordan worked on reworking our Docker containers and build time, a first improvement was done, gaining precious minutes (sometimes more) on our build time + avoiding crashes.\

\- Jordan started preparing the code to work on facility build time and queuing.\
\- Ivan worked on truce periods for villages.\

**Infra**\
&#xNAN;**-** New server special for events ! We want to impress our partners with a perfectly smooth user experience.\
\- Few enhancements regarding network capabilities of the servers, a good ape needs to communicate, working on EKS container technology in order to always provide a better experience for our apes.

**Analytics**\
\- Indicators : number of simultaneous players, amount of stolen resources per day, attacks per day …. #forzaApes — our new analytics database is enhancing, new ways to explore gamers habits.
