| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI images were used for game assets and UI elements, so some shipped visuals are AI-generated. The developer also used AI as a coding assistant, which doesn't affect shipped content. One release in 12 months, 45 reviews at 82% positive, and stated replacement plans suggest real development effort rather than volume output. Against: The developer says AI visuals are temporary and intended to be replaced as budget allows, which points toward limited rather than core AI use. |
