| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI use across audio, voices, meshes, and text, but describes review and integration, suggesting supporting rather than core content. The developer has only one game, released a year ago, so there is no volume-release pattern. Two reviews is thin evidence, but nothing indicates mass production. Against: AI touches several asset types (audio, voice, meshes, text), which could push scope higher; only 2 reviews long after release limits confidence. |
