| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure names AI-generated 2D art, logos, and fonts that players see, plus AI-assisted code, so scope is parts. The developer has only two games, both disclosing AI, and releases are not high-volume. One review long after release is a weak signal but not enough for high effort risk. Against: Only one review 17 months after release could suggest low effort, but the release cadence is not high-volume and the disclosure is limited to art assets and code assistance. |
