| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to concept generation, with final promotional art hand-drawn, so nothing AI-generated appears to ship to players. Release pace is modest (3 games in 12 months) and the game has 16 reviews, not a low-effort volume pattern. No curator evidence of in-game AI assets. Against: Concept-generation tools could have influenced designs that reach the game, and 5 of the developer's 12 games disclose AI use. |
