| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists several major asset types—3D models, textures, artwork, and music—as AI-generated, which goes beyond minor supporting use. No live generation occurs, and the developer has only 3 releases in 12 months, so volume signals don't reach the mass-produced threshold. Zero reviews shortly after release adds some risk but isn't decisive. Against: Only 'some' assets are described as AI-made, implying human work remains; the game is newly released with no reviews yet, so effort signals are limited. |
