| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated some in-game assets (ship art, item icons) and assisted translations, so scope is parts, not core. Assets were human-directed and edited, and the developer has no volume-release pattern. No signs of mass production. Against: Game is unreleased with no reviews, so effort signals are limited; AI touches both art and translation. |
