| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with several in-game asset types: sprites, UI, and effects, which is a large share of a pixel-art roguelike. No live generation occurs, and the developer has only one release, so there is no volume pattern. Zero reviews one month after release limits confidence. Against: Only one game released, no mass-release pattern; AI use is disclosed as assistance rather than full generation, and no live AI during play. |
