| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for character artworks, so some in-game art is AI-generated. No other asset types are disclosed as AI, and the game has RPG systems suggesting real development. The developer's release pace is notable but doesn't meet the high-effort-risk threshold. Against: Developer released 7 games in 12 months and 7 of 9 disclose AI, which hints at volume production, but the game has only one review and no evidence of mass-produced asset types. |
