| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure covers code and tooling used to procedurally generate visuals, with developer review and testing. It explicitly rules out image-model artwork and runtime AI. One release in 12 months and no reviews don't indicate volume production. Against: Procedural visual assets are player-visible, so AI involvement in the tools that generate them could touch shipped content more than 'minor' suggests; no reviews yet leaves quality signals unknown. |
