| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to concepting, coding help, and marketing images, with in-game art not mentioned. Marketing assets are slated for replacement, so shipped AI content is likely minimal. The developer has released no games in the past year, showing no volume-release pattern. Against: The game is unreleased, so it is unknown whether the marketing images were actually replaced or whether AI-assisted code or concepts remain in the shipped build. |
