| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools were used for character sprites, scenery, item icons and store artwork, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Code also had AI assistance under developer direction. The developer has no rapid release pattern and the game is not yet out, so effort risk is low. Against: Disclosure says all AI-assisted content was reviewed, curated and edited by the team, and no AI runs at runtime; the studio has only one game, so no volume-release pattern. |
