| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped write story text, haiku, store texts and the German translation, all reviewed by the developer. Art, font, music and sound effects are procedural, not AI-model generated, and nothing is AI-generated during play. Only one of four games discloses AI, with no releases in the past year. Against: Procedural generation is code-driven rather than AI-model output, so the shipped AI content is limited to writing and translation; the developer reviews it. |
