## Summary

House House says it used an LLM sparingly to help fix a Unity shadow bug in its indie puzzle game Big Walk, representing under 0.1% of the code. The disclosure came after the developer submitted the game to the Independent Games Festival Awards, whose jurors have called for a strong anti-AI policy.
