| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states a small amount of AI-generated textures and materials ship as assets, so some in-game content is AI-made. The developer released no games in the last 12 months and only 4 of 29 disclose AI, so no volume-release pattern. 74 reviews at 98% positive after 25 months suggests real development effort. Against: A Steam curator says AI-generated images and audio are used, which would broaden the scope beyond textures, but this is an allegation without specific evidence. |
