Writes music and text. Leftism, ball knowledge, hyperfixations, general weirdness. Reposts way too much. Bi and poly forever! Read the pinned.

i understand that people are afraid of witch hunts and other stuff, tarring every game with the same brush no matter the extent of its use of AI, but like you can just not use it. that solves everything.

Apparently Steam recently changed their policy around AI disclosure to *exclude AI generated code*, which is why House House didn't have to disclose it, and also why apparently they aren't accepting refunds like I say in my post here. That sucks.

Just want to point out that "The game has AI use that was not disclosed on its page or marketing" is a valid reason to ask for a refund on Steam, and in my experience they grant it

"we didn't say anything or mark it on steam because the AI code was less than 10 total lines, and we thought disclosing it would normalize AI usage." 10 lines of code fixed your game and you couldn't figure that out? really? I feel the worst for all the actual artists who worked on this honestly

House House updated its FAQ regarding AI use: "In the final stretch of Big Walk’s development, LLMs were used sparingly by House House to help work through difficult technical challenges and bugs." bigwalk.game/faq/#ai

Love that the two wolves of pro AI game development are: 🐺 "We used AI and you should fucking like it" (Epic Games, Arc Raiders) 🐑 "We used AI, but just a tiny bit and we didn't tell anyone and then you found out anyways but we're sorry and we probably won't do it again maybe" (Big Walk, E33)

Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate: aftermath.site/big-walk-ai-ig...

took me 3 hours but I figured out the “URP culling shadowcasters behind the camera” issue House House cites in their disclosure. This culls immediately when the object is off-camera, but modifying the culling params with a custom frustrum is straightforward

Househouse screwed Househouse, here. They didn't need to use an LLM. Like band posters and job applications, nobody needed these things until the last 2-3 years where suddenly everyone has self infantilized. Deprived themselves of the satisfaction of problem solving, deprived themselves of growth

bsky user 1 : gta 6 is everything wrong with the industry bsky user 2 : im so disappointed in big walk , what a bummer my homunculus that i trained to only speak like justin wong : yo thats od
