Background: Node operators were waiting for 1.1.5 under the schedule announced the day before, and A-Zhen was watching for disruptions during the upgrade.

Background: Node operators were waiting for 1.1.5 under the schedule announced the day before, and A-Zhen was watching for disruptions during the upgrade. The team was also discussing the scale of game integrations. She knew that “joining the ecosystem” and “finishing a game” marked different stages of work.
Today: Version 1.1.5 arrived on schedule, but the desktop app showed a blank screen. Version 1.1.6 fixed it in less than an hour; command-line operators were unaffected, as usual. XAI regained 1.10. The team also revisited a partnership agreed at the Game Developers Conference with the world’s largest in-person indie game expo, aiming to bring 100 games on-chain together. A-Zhen privately cautioned that the figure meant “joining the ecosystem,” not “100 finished games.”
Impact and next steps: The quick patch gave desktop users a way to continue upgrading. It also prompted the Night Watchman to check that the interface worked before confirming his version, rather than assume an on-time release meant a completed upgrade. The partnership set an ambitious integration goal. A-Zhen planned to ask separately about the public target and actual development progress; the day established a plan, while completing games one by one would take more time.
