| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to translation/localization and reference material for artwork, not final in-game assets. The developer has one game, none released in the past year, so no volume-release pattern. Pixel-art action game shows no other AI signals. Against: AI-assisted reference work could have shaped final artwork more than the disclosure implies, and the game is unreleased so shipped content can't be verified. |
