| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI use for several asset types, but as assistance rather than full generation. The developer has only one game and no rapid release pattern, so no volume signal. A CRPG with tactical systems implies substantial design work beyond assets. Against: AI touches four asset categories (sprites, backgrounds, UI, dialogue), which could push scope higher than 'parts' if those assets dominate the game. |
