| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated a large number of sprite frames, but the developer edited and exported them. Music and sound design are credited to the developer and their band, showing human work. Only one game exists, not yet released, so no volume-release pattern. Against: The sprite count is substantial and could cover much of the game's art, though the developer says all frames were modified by hand. |
