I have to say it must be great fun playing against your own creation! Have you ever thought about creating a range of PSQT so that you could randomly choose between different playing styles? If I had an engine, I would love to do that. It reminds me a bit of what Chessmaster2000 use to do, where you could pick an opponent, such as the one who favoured Knights.
So you're not programming your own engine, but are just on Talkchess to... talk about (computer) chess? That's fine by me, but I just wanted to know that I don't inadvertently turn the topic to "your" engine which you maybe don't have
If you want to create PST's, look into MinimalChess 0.3 by Lithander/Thomas (he's also on this forum). It can do that as a feature. Another engine I'm aware of that can make such personalities is the Rodent series by Pavel Koziol.
I'm creating analysis software, rather than a chess engine. I've already implemented PST's. I've got tons of ideas, and so just working through things one by one. I am currently looking at legal aspects, if there is an overlap between commercial aspects of different softwares. e.g. if chess24 had feature X, does that mean another site cannot use such a feature, or would they end up sued?

I assume if a site has a feature, and a different site implements a similar feature without (somehow) stealing the other site's software, it's no problem. There's many sites (and software) that implement features that other sites already have.
