| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningDisclosure covers only text (help screens, translation, store/trailer copy) and store image layout, not core art or gameplay. Store images are built from real in-game renders, and no AI runs during play. Developer has one game, no rapid release pattern. Against: Help screen text is in-game content, so some shipped text is AI-assisted, but it's a small supporting element. |
