| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for several asset types but edited by the developer. Release cadence is one game in 12 months, not high-volume. Solo development with editing suggests real effort despite AI use. Against: AI touches multiple asset categories (models, icons, text, store art), which could push scope higher; game is unreleased so in-game extent is unverified. |
