| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure names two limited uses: puzzle image redraws and chat translation, both supporting features rather than core content. The game has 16,323 reviews and a full life-sim scope, indicating substantial human production. The developer released only one game in the past year, so no volume-release pattern. Against: AI touches live gameplay visuals, which could be seen as more than minor; only 1 of 5 studio games discloses AI. |
