| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states select AI-generated visual assets ship in-game, so scope is parts rather than none. The developer has only one release in the past year, so volume-release signals are absent. Zero reviews three months after release is a weak signal but not enough for high effort risk. Against: The developer says AI assets are reviewed and integrated, and only a subset of visuals is AI-generated, suggesting real development effort around them. |
