“Do the announcement then leak everything you’ve done so far/make the repository public to make the project open source or only make the announcement once the game is in a state it can be released in” is what you should have said. After that happens you might be barred from working for the copyright owner, but other companies might notice you, like the AM2R guy that got hired to work on Ori 2!
Personally, and I say this as a huge fan of KotOR, I don’t see any point what so ever in a remake. The original is not so dated that it’s unplayable. And unlike Baldur Gate which got the enhanced edition I don’t think KotOR needs that boost to be played by younger players.
It’s never worked for me too well on PC. If I recall it doesn’t have native widescreen support or something. It made the UI difficult to navigate. I love the game and played it on Xbox originally, but typically gave up tweaking it on PC. Was looking forward to the remake; I’d pay for the convenience. But I get what you’re saying.

So they shut down the fan remaster because there’s an official remake, then that gets canned?

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Big projects like Skywind couldn’t, but yeah generally.
Ownership rights are in really bad shape these days when you can’t even share free stuff you made for a game.

Okay maybe that’s fine too. But only if you stipulate in your contact that you can stay punk.
The law being what it is I don’t think they had much of a choice.
Oof course

I just ran through it on switch a little while back and it’s perfectly playable and enjoyable!
