| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure describes ChatGPT used as a learning aid for base code and composition guidance, with manual editing and drawing afterward. No AI-generated art, audio, or writing ships to players. One release, few reviews, but no volume-release pattern. Against: The base code was initially AI-generated, so some shipped code has AI origins; the developer's only game discloses AI use. |
