| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used only for item/skill icons, a small subset of in-game assets. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months, so there's no volume-release pattern. The game isn't released yet, so effort signals are limited but nothing suggests mass production. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, so the full extent of AI use and overall production effort can't be verified. |
