| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated some localization and code, which are supporting elements rather than player-facing assets. The developer has released only one game in the past year and has a modest review count, showing no volume-release pattern. No evidence suggests AI-generated art, audio, or writing. Against: Code generation could affect gameplay systems, but the disclosure frames it as limited and no curator evidence points to broader AI content. |
