| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states NPC voice was AI-generated, so some in-game audio is AI. That is one asset type, not the whole game, and the developer has a small catalog with no rapid-release pattern. Low review count and mixed reception don't establish mass production. Against: 3 of the developer's 4 games disclose AI, which suggests a recurring reliance on AI, though this alone doesn't show low effort. |
