| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states some scene or character images were AI-generated, so AI ships to players. That covers only part of the visual assets, with no indication of AI in writing, audio, or voice. The developer has released just one game, so there is no pattern of volume releases. Against: Only one game released and no evidence of mass production; the AI use appears limited to some images rather than most assets. |
