Promotional art is store/marketing material, so scope stays minor. The developer has one game and no rapid-release pattern, so effort risk is low. Against: AI-assisted programming could touch shipped code, but the disclosure says outputs were reviewed and edited, and no in-game art or audio is mentioned. |
