| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped create select environmental artwork, backgrounds, and visual assets, so some in-game art is AI-generated. It also covers promotional materials and prototyping, which are minor uses. The developer has no release history in the last 12 months, so there is no volume signal. Against: The disclosure says AI content is reviewed and integrated by the developer, and the game is not yet released, so the final scope of AI assets is unknown. |
