| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI was used for translation, some textures, and code creation. Textures are in-game assets, so AI scope reaches parts, but most art and design appear human-made. The developer released one game in the last 12 months, and the game has 128 reviews at 85% positive, which does not indicate low-effort volume. Against: A Steam curator criticizes the game for using AI shortcuts, but gives no specific checkable evidence beyond the disclosure. The disclosure itself is limited to translation, some textures, and code. |
