Alpha Log #1

At long last, the White Walls Alpha has officially begun! We rolled out version 1.0a to a small group of Alpha testers during a live Town Hall in our Discord on 5/15/24 and it couldn't have gone any better. Every tester had a successful onboarding and was able to pair their displays and push art within minutes. We have a long way to go to finalize this Alpha, but we're thrilled with this very first steps. After 10 months of creative exploration and 3 months of intense development, we close the first chapter of our story and begin our second. Feels good, man.
