IGF jurors boycott AI-made games; House House clarifies AI touched under 0.1% of Big Walk's code
Aryvyo · x · 2026-11-11
House House (Untitled Goose Game) issued a statement on AI tool usage in Big Walk after a group of 2027 IGF jurors publicly refused to vote for any game developed with generative AI, urging IGF to adopt a strong anti-AI policy.
- The studio admits it used LLMs "sparingly" in the final stretch of development, mainly to research third-party code issues via chatbots, occasionally copying snippets as starting points
- It estimates well under 0.1% of Big Walk's code involved this usage, with no generative AI elsewhere in production
- The disclosure was a suggested part of the IGF submission
Commenters found it telling that actual software engineers rarely care about "AI code ethics" — the outrage comes almost entirely from outsiders reacting to vibe coding.
