Made a collage of actual screenshots of the Moon Child Amiga demo, displayed on a CRT TV screen. It's apparent here how the graphics were less harsh on a CRT screen, and blended nicely, including the black sprite outlines. #TeamHoi #PixelArt #GameDev #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #commodore #amiga

kennedywrenwellness > Health 1d Something about chronic illness that people don't talk about enough: you can be genuinely grateful for your life and still be exhausted by how much work it takes to live it. Gratitude doesn't cancel out grief.

Duck AI Slop!!@duckaislop.bsky.social · 2d ago

Big Walk House House No Steam disclosure. Used Gen AI for some coding and used chatbots during development. Stated in the FAQs on their website bigwalk.game/faq/#ai -E

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. In some cases, snippets from LLM responses were copied as a starting point to be modified into game code—we’d estimate that well under 0.1% of Big Walk’s code had anything to do with this usage, and generative AI was not used in any other context when making the game.

The primary use case for House House’s use of LLMs was to research, via chatbots, issues we encountered with third-party code. If you’re technically-minded, and curious, here’s an example. We needed to cull shadow casters by distance from the camera, but Unity URP only allows culling shadow casters by distance in camera forwards, so shadow casters behind the player were being rendered at an infinite distance. This made our game run 50% slower for around 20 seconds at sunrise and sunset. We researched the problem extensively, and we looked at the URP code ourselves, but we couldn’t find a way. Then, we were able to speak directly to an engineer at Unity, who asked around and ultimately concluded that what we wanted wasn’t possible. Finally, we posed the question to an LLM chatbot. After a few dead ends, it suggested a possible fix, and while we had to modify the suggestion extensively, it worked. This fix represented about 10 lines of code inside URP.

We originally wrote a version of the above disclosure as it was a suggested part of our IGF submission. We have not made any disclosure on Steam as the platform does not request disclosure of code or chatbot usage. We are posting this disclosure as it has become a matter of public interest.

This is not an endorsement of, or argument for, the use of AI tools, however minimal. We have some concern that voluntary disclosures like this might contribute to the normalisation of this technology, or its treatment as “inevitable”. We support the work of those who are trying to limit the harm generative AI is doing to videogames and our world, and apologise that Big Walk’s LLM usage may not meet their standards.

Big Walk was developed without an internal AI usage policy in place, and we consider that lack of policy a failure. We will work to have a more comprehensive policy going forwards.

I’m getting sick of people saying stuff like “a little ai is ok” or “a minor use of ai is ok”. I want zero ai. Full stop. No buts. No “less than 0.1% ai used” I want zero. I’m not supporting anything that isn’t zero ai.

Bruno Dias@brunodias.dev · 3d ago

Okay, because the cat is out of the fucking bag, I might as well combat misinformation a bit: 1. The reason IGF judges are aware of the LLM use in the development of Big Walk is through a disclosure shared by House House. 2. This disclosure was required by IGF rules.

a special funky friday is on its way! the triumphant return of funky friday features boot day activities i couldn't finish, a whole month later! we're playing ALL THREE parappa games, back-to-back! join me at ~5pm CST, only on altstream! altstream.online/mossmallow

a web advertisement featuring the cover art for parappa the rapper, parappa the rapper 2, and um jammer lammy, arranged inside a windows 3.1 style box. above it is text in a violet-to-orange gradient that's white in the middle saying, "Funky Friday". below it is pixel art of mossmallow with its head barely peeking out the bottom of the frame, its head being a 90's-style computer monitor with a blue screen and white square with an 'x' in the middle. there is a thought bubble coming from mossmallow with a red pixel heart inside it. the background is a corrupted version of the windows xp rolling hills background, with the colors slightly off and glitch-effects scattered around.
