| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to localization of some language versions, with human proofreading and back-translation. Translation support counts as minor scope, not in-game asset generation. The developer has few releases and no high-volume pattern, so effort risk is low. Against: Two of the developer's three games disclose AI, but that says nothing about this game's in-game content and volume is low. |
