| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure covers a player-facing illustration feature and translation support, so some AI content ships. The bulk of the MMORPG's art, audio, and writing is not disclosed as AI. A long-running game with 16,050 reviews shows substantial development effort. Against: The character illustration feature is player-triggered and in-game, which could be seen as more than minor AI involvement. |
