## Key points

- House House says LLMs assisted with a small number of technical issues.
- The studio estimates AI touched well under 0.1% of Big Walk’s code.
- The disclosure has renewed debate over how games should report AI use.

## Summary

House House has disclosed that it used generative AI tools in a small part of the development of Big Walk, after the use came to light amid criticism from some Independent Games Festival jurors. The disclosure has prompted debate because the studio had not previously stated that it used the technology.

The developer says LLMs were used sparingly near the end of production to help solve technical problems and bugs. It estimates that well under 0.1% of the game’s code involved snippets from LLM responses, which were then modified; it says generative AI was not used for any other part of the game. House House says it did not add a disclosure to the game’s Steam page because the platform does not ask developers to report code or chatbot use.
