| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe store disclosure states AI was used for some in-game assets and store images, so AI content ships to players. The scope appears limited to parts, with manual adjustment and editing suggesting human work remains. Only one release in the past year and 18 mostly positive reviews do not indicate low-effort volume. Against: The disclosure says final adjustments and edits were done manually, and the game has 100% positive reviews, which points to real development effort rather than mass production. |
