Big fan of SW:KOTOR series. Would love to test Vestiges when ready.

You should consider creating the game on Steam, so you can start building your audience.

Thanks! I've been hesitant about Steam because of the strong anti-genAI sentiments there. (And the initial fee to set-up a game's page.) You are right, though, and I probably should just push past my reservations.

(When I began this effort, I was just enjoying feeling productive again and didn't have any real plan to release. But I've been pleased enough with how it's been coming along that I've started seriously thinking about it.)

    The anti-AI crowd on Steam only really seems to care about it being used for art, from what I've seen in reviews.

      I'd also include the UI in things they seem to care about. If it looks "web style" or has the common tells (dashes, //) it will be most likely be called out.

      That's useful context, thanks. I might be in a grey area on that front. Vestiges has no genAI-created images, textures, etc. Pretty much all of the (non-text) visuals are generated at runtime using Godot's 2D vector drawing capabilities.

      (I've considered trying to find an artist to work with to have professional 2D art.)
