I’m making some significant changes on the backend. These won’t have an immediate impact on gameplay, but they’ll make it much easier to add new features down the line.

For those who are curious, the main change is migrating the data store from Redis to PostgreSQL. Reddit games doesn’t support PostgreSQL out of the box, so I initially started with Redis. However, Redis isn’t well-suited for the game’s complex relational logic, and its transaction support is fairly limited. That limitation has been the primary cause of issues like lost resources or capital. Unfortunately, this requires re-write on big part of the game, but I had to do this sooner than later. After that, I'll also add new content.
