| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped with store copy, marketing artwork, logo concepts, and some replacement visual/audio assets. That puts AI in a supporting role for some shipped assets, while the game is not built around live generation. Only one release in the last 12 months, so no volume pattern. Against: The game has zero reviews a month after release, which limits evidence of real production effort; the developer's single release also gives little track record. |
