| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI was used for art assets and promotional images, so AI-generated visuals ship to players. The developer describes manual review and editing, and only one game was released in the past year, so there is no sign of mass-produced volume. Zero reviews six months after release limits confidence. Against: The disclosure says AI output was manually reviewed, selected, and edited, which points to real production effort rather than automated output. |
