| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for certain visual assets like UI icons and 3D models, so some in-game content is AI-generated. The developer is solo, has released no games in the last 12 months, and the game is unreleased, so there's no sign of low-effort volume. The disclosure describes personal review and curation, suggesting real development effort. Against: The game is not yet released, so the actual extent of AI-generated assets in the shipped product can't be verified. |
