I'm very anti AI but I'm not gonna lie I'm royally pissed at how everyone is yelling at the devs of Big Walk over fixing 10 lines of code after searching for how to fix it. Yall are a bunch of performative assholes who throw nuance out the windows to make yourselves feel better

-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

Happy Birthday, Furina!

Mm... Did I fall asleep? I haven't kept you waiting too long, have I? This sofa was just far too comfortable, and before I knew it...
Still, now that I think about it... I did have quite a wonderful dream.
All the little fish came over to play with me, and we swam all through the underwater world together... Hm? You want to know whether you were in it too?
Well, I can't quite remember. But I do vaguely recall some terribly noisy voice calling my name over and over again. Now then, who could that possibly have been?
