| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI for music, translations, sign textures and a few models, so some shipped assets are AI but most of the game appears hand-built. The developer has only one release in the last year, so there is no volume-release pattern. Three reviews is thin evidence, but nothing suggests mass production. Against: Only 3 reviews 10 months after release limits confidence; the disclosure covers several asset types, which could point to broader AI use than 'parts'. |
