| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI templated some images and UI elements, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Code-checking assistance is supporting work, not player-facing content. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months, so there is no volume-release pattern. Against: The developer frames AI as a workaround for limited artistic skill in a solo project, and the game is not yet released, so the final share of AI assets is unknown. |
