| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped create the tutorial character and voiceovers, which players see and hear, so scope is parts. The rest of the game's art, audio, and design appear human-made, with a small team and a substantial 1202-review release. Release cadence is 3 games in 12 months, below the volume threshold for high effort risk. Against: The developer says AI was used only to assist a small team and that content reflects their own creativity; the AI-made assets were retouched by staff. |
