| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI-generated shaders, procedural billboard objects, and sound effects that ship in-game, so scope is parts. Store art is also generative, but graffiti is hand-drawn. The developer has one unreleased game and no volume-release pattern, so effort risk is low. Against: Hand-drawn graffiti and a single unreleased title suggest deliberate, limited AI use rather than mass production. |
