| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states visuals, including illustrations and scenes, were AI-generated, which covers a major asset type for a visual novel. The developer has only one release in the past year, so volume-release signals are absent. One review after three months is thin but not enough to establish mass production. Against: The developer says AI output was curated and manually refined, and only one game was released in the last 12 months, which argues against low-effort volume. |
