| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure lists AI for 9 of 12 music tracks, 25 villager portraits, many translations, and the capsule logo. These are supporting assets, not the core simulation or art. The developer has one game, released 21 months ago, with 422 reviews at 79% positive, showing real development and reception. Against: AI covers audio, portraits, and localization, which is a broad share of asset types, but the game's core systems and remaining art appear human-made. |
