| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped transform a hand-made 2D prototype into isometric 3D, so some shipped visuals involve AI. The developer describes hundreds of hand-made 2D assets, indicating real production effort. Only one game exists, so no volume-release pattern. Against: The base art is described as hand-made, and the game is unreleased with no reviews, so the extent of AI-generated final assets is uncertain. |
