| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI tools may be used for pictures and posters in some environments, so some in-game assets are AI-generated. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months, and this title is not yet out, so there are no signs of low-effort volume. The disclosure frames AI as assisting a team, suggesting real development effort. Against: The disclosure is hedged ('may leverage', 'may include'), and the developer's other games are not evidence about this one. |
