| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some textures and to render personal stills into 2D pixel images, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. The developer has only one release, so there's no pattern of volume releases. Zero reviews three months after launch is a weak signal but not enough for high effort risk. Against: AI use appears limited to textures and image conversion, with the developer supplying their own source photos; no evidence of mass-produced output. |
