| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated some in-game backgrounds and character/item artwork, so AI ships to players but most assets appear human-made. Developer released 4 games in 12 months, below the 12+ threshold for high effort risk. No reviews yet, but the release cadence and partial AI disclosure don't establish mass production. Against: Only 3 of 8 games disclose AI and the release rate is modest, suggesting a small studio rather than volume-driven output; no gameplay AI use is claimed. |
