| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI only for optional voiceovers, localization, and minor 2D elements, while core creative work is stated as human-made. The developer has released few games and shows no volume-release pattern. Review count is modest but not indicative of mass production. Against: The developer's own note is self-reported and cannot be independently verified; AI use in voice and localization still ships to players. |
