| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to localization and narrative documentation, not shipped art or audio. Manual review and no real-time generation suggest supporting use. One release in 12 months and modest review count don't indicate volume production. Against: Narrative documentation could touch writing players see, but the disclosure says it was refined and reviewed by the developer. |
