Actual Unity engineers told them what they wanted to fix was impossible so they used an LLM to help them find a starting point to the solution and then altered some lines of code to find the fix.
Yeah I’m not mad at this at all. Should they have been up front about it, sure
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Literally THE ONLY FLAW I could find with
The Wolf Among Us was these load times.
Maybe I’m just spoiled rotten.
But this feels egregious on modern hardware.
Ok. Mind’s made up. Game is masterpiece!
I’ve genuinely spent the last 24 hours kicking myself I didn’t play it sooner.
It’s simple. It has the usual illusion of choice issues. But the premise, characters, and writing were stellar. And the mystery at its core? Absolutely. Enthralling.
Not only did it clear Telltale’s Walking Dead Season 1 for me, it even managed to get its hooks in my wife, who went from hesitantly sitting in on Episode 1 to actively theorycrafting after every other episode for the rest of the game.

I LOVED Superman, but was mixed on Gunn’s vision for the DC Universe in general. As a DC fan who has always preferred it over Marvel, another reset is disappointing.
Not sure how to feel about this DCU news.
Shaking up the lead creative at this stage is not a great sign for obvious reasons (just look how DCEU Snyderverse Phase 1 panned out), but don’t doom just yet.
I think this is just a recognition that Gunn big brained Phase 1 too hard.
Not saying it’s all his fault. Guy tells a great story. Superman was excellent. And when he was at Marvel, we all know he created a masterpiece with the Guardians trilogy. But I think he learned the wrong lesson from that. It made him believe he didn’t need to play the hits to get the DCU rolling, because he can turn a nobody into a household name. But he only got to do that because Marvel had already built up so much good will playing the hits and building a functioning cinematic universe.
Unfortunately, I think the Warner Bros execs were too scared to intervene after their rushed intervention sunk the DCEU. And while I think less corporate meddling is good for the creative process, Gunn clearly needed more guardrails.
Jeremy Latcham may be just what the doctor ordered. I love pretty much everything he’s had a hand in over the last decade or so. Avengers is a classic. Spider-Man Homecoming is the perfect non-origin story origin story. Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves was magnificent. But he’s in a tough spot and we simply don’t have evidence that anybody but Fiege, Favreau, Perlmutter, and the Marvel Creative Committee can put together a successful cinematic universe on this scale.
Here’s hoping that changes now.
And that they save the DCU.
James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios.
Jeremy Latcham, who previously served as a producer at Marvel Studios, is taking over DC.

Resonance or Ocarina this afternoon…
Wasted all day playing Rocket League. 🤦🏻♂️

Played up to the same point last night.
JM is, as usual, spot on.
I was able to play the opening of Ocarina of Time, up to entering the Hyrule Castle town. some quick impressions so far:
- Lots of small QoL changes already
- Feels new, despite still feeling like the original
- Performance is great
- Absolutely gorgeous

I was wrong! I was SO wrong.
May have never been more wrong.
This new Ocarina art style is GORGEOUS!
