Over all, I really like it.
The idea that it's more of a framework is very appealing to me - I don't feel like I'm boxed into someone else's idea of what a science fiction game should be. And I like that.

If you're having trouble with the coding side of adding the portraits, maybe you could try taking a look around the Mods section to see if anyone came across the issue you're having and figured out how to fix it already? I know there's been quite a few threads with different portrait issues, so I'm sure one of them can help! 
EDIT: And I see now that you already did! Don't mind me haha.

Yeah - Haven't heard anything back yet. I'm pretty noobish on the coding side. If someone here can give me a hand, I'll do a custom portrait for them. Either way, I'll continue to working on it when I get home. I'm sure it's something stupidly obvious and simple that I'm overlooking - usually isIf you're having trouble with the coding side of adding the portraits, maybe you could try taking a look around the Mods section to see if anyone came across the issue you're having and figured out how to fix it already?

SUCCESS!
Sort of, but I'm not complaining.
This has been an epic multi-day journey trying to get something relatively simple to work properly, and the wiki short-cuts a good portion of what needs to be done.
One note, however - using the random names seems to cause a crash to desktop. I do not know why, but I've heard this happens for some reason.
Next on the todo list is to see what is needed to get this to Steam so it can be downloaded.
After that, finish the race portraits and get them out to you guys!
Cheers,

So freaking awesome, you rock!

Thanks guys - I really do appreciate the support, and your patience with all of this.
So, check this out - decided to drop the Kukeri in just to test them ... and, well, I haven't seen this before ... O__O
So, uh, "cool?"
I was just going to do a graphics test to see if the Kukeri were working correctly, but I think I'm going to have run a game with this to see where it goes!
And, btw, the Kukeri need to be adjusted slightly to fit the given space - you can they're clipped here and there on the edges. Otherwise, they look good I think!

This is just getting stranger and stranger. Obviously, I'm dealing with an unfortunate bug, but I'll ride it out anyway. Looks like it'll be fun!
Ack!

Yeah, and my homeworld is a gas giant.
As soon as I get it all pulled together and figure out how to upload it correctly, yes! I'll post a notice in this thread once it's ready. I want to ad a few more species before I do that, though

Awesome, new portraits! As far as "adding" new species before releasing, you mean just the ones you have so far in the OP, or will there be some surprises in store?...

I've got some that y'all haven't seen yetAwesome, new portraits!
I'm kinda holding them back Just as a realistic update: I'm moving as fast as I can on this, but at the same time I want the quality of the races to be good for you guys. I want to have between 10-12 portraits done before I release it, and I lost a week trying to figure out how to get them into the game. That said, I'm about halfway done with them, so

Yay for secret portraits! I expects the cute to be present haha. Maybe a Jack O'Lantern portrait based on an earlier implication...
At least update the OP with the two DW races you had left to do. We don't need to know about the others until release, we're not that desperate (well, we are, but we can't wait haha).

Will do. The murrundal decided to be difficult, so I'm going to have to ditch what I have so far and start over (this happens far more than people realize ... >_____>), but once they're done to my satisfaction and the Nyarlakhee are finished, I'll update them, no worries
Haven't forgotten Jack
I have something special in mind for those guys ~S
Did you base the Kukeri off those weird ass costumes worn in eastern Europe for some festival?

Let's be honest here, I straight up ripped that off
Haha hey man, they make good aliens.

Just tossing ideas out that might be fun: What about a portrait that uses a singular, prehensile tail as it's primary grasping tool? Something like the Willosaur that became the de-facto mascot for spore only... y'know... not terrible.
