## Key points

- House House says it used an LLM during Big Walk’s development.
- The disclosed use involved help with a Unity coding issue.
- The case blurs lines in the debate over AI in game development.

## Summary

House House has disclosed that it used a large language model while developing Big Walk, reigniting debate about where generative AI is acceptable in game development. The article argues that this case complicates a debate often focused on AI-made writing and visual assets, because the disclosed use was for help with a coding problem.

The article describes Big Walk as a widely acclaimed game, with a 91 Metascore and an 8/10 review for its Switch 2 version. It places the disclosure alongside recent disputes over AI use in games, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s disqualification from the Indie Game Awards, and notes that players may respond differently when AI involvement is revealed in a game they already value.
