| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to placeholders and non-critical text, which are supporting elements rather than shipped core assets. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there is no volume-release pattern. Gameplay systems and final content are stated as human-authored. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and unverified; placeholder AI text could persist into the shipped game, and the game is unreleased so final content cannot be checked. |
