| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for cover art and some in-game assets, so AI content ships to players but does not cover most asset types. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months, so the high-volume mass-production signal is absent. Only two reviews exist, but the release cadence does not support a mass-produced verdict. Against: All three of the developer's games disclose AI, and the game has only 2 reviews a year after release, which could hint at limited effort, though volume is too low to confirm. |
