| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used only for rough drafts of character and background illustrations, with final art reworked by several artists. This points to limited AI involvement in some in-game art, not the whole game. The developer has few releases and strong review scores, showing no volume-release pattern. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and vague about how much of the final art derives from AI drafts; the curator note only repeats the store disclosure. |
