What the developer says
Hello! The card illustrations in this work were created with the help of AI, which supported me in developing this independent game. I apologize for my limited art skills, so I’ve mainly kept a minimalist style throughout the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for card illustrations, a visible in-game asset, so scope is parts. The developer frames it as support for a solo minimalist project, and the game has a modest review base with mostly positive feedback. Release cadence is low, so no volume-production signal. Against: Only 5 reviews 4 months after release, and the developer has 2 games disclosing AI, but neither meets the high-volume threshold. |
