| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses AI used for some background images, which are in-game assets players see, so scope is parts rather than none. The studio has only one release and no high-volume pattern. Six reviews with 100% positive and a single title suggest a small, focused project rather than mass production. Against: Only 6 reviews 20 months after release could indicate limited reach, but there is no evidence of rapid releases or AI covering most asset types. |
