🏟 Community owned hippodromes

This week, the DeRace team has been diligently focused on developing the logic for the upcoming hippodrome ownership feature.

We have been working on designing the framework for how the ownership of hippodromes will be structured, including determining the available resources for both hippodrome managers and other players.

Additionally, our team has been dedicated to enhancing the race and custom event generator to ensure a user-friendly and straightforward experience for the hippodrome managers by having it seamlessly integrated into the platform.

Through brainstorming sessions, we have been exploring the best ways to organize and structure this feature, covering all the essential aspects to deliver a smooth and enjoyable experience for our community.

🏆 Player achievements

Throughout this week, our developers have been focused on advancing the Player Achievement feature by further developing the backend structure.

Their primary goal has been to establish a seamless connection between acquiring achievements and receiving corresponding rewards. The team has been diligently working on integrating the intricate framework that encompasses both the achievements themselves and the associated rewards.
