| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for in-game visual assets: backgrounds and some animated CG scenes. That is a meaningful but limited share of a visual novel, with story and direction apparently human-made. The developer has only two games, both disclosing AI, and this one has a single review after two months. Against: The author supplied references and artistic descriptions, suggesting directed rather than fully automated generation; only one prior release, so no volume pattern. |
