| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated initial icon art assets, later manually refined by artists, so some in-game assets are AI-assisted. The developer has released only one game in the past year, showing no volume-release pattern. Six reviews with 83% positive suggest a small but real release. Against: AI use is limited to icons and was artist-refined, and the developer's release pace is low, both pointing away from heavy or mass-produced AI content. |
