| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers about 2,000 generated portraits plus a generated stadium backdrop, so some in-game art is AI. The developer reports human touch-up and only one release, with 144 reviews at 93% positive, indicating real development effort rather than volume output. Against: Portraits are a visible, numerous asset type, which could push scope higher, but they are one asset category within a larger game. |
