| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: highReasoningThe disclosure states generative AI made several theme background artworks, so some shipped visuals are AI. The developer released 8 games in 12 months with all 15 titles disclosing AI, indicating high-volume output. Only 7 reviews 18 months after release fits the low-effort volume pattern. Against: AI use is limited to background art, not gameplay or core assets, and 8 releases in 12 months is below the 12+ threshold. |
