| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to translation and small UI/audio details, not core art or gameplay. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there's no volume-release pattern. Tags suggest a handcrafted survival/simulation title with real development effort. Against: The game is unreleased, so the full scope of AI use in shipped content can't yet be verified. |
