[IC] Portal Round 2: Want to change anything?
« on: Wed, 14 March 2012, 04:08:17 »
Okay, so its 2 am but I'm going to throw this up now and get feedback. Most all of you should be well aware of the Portal set and how awesome it was. There has been great demand for another round, so I'm going to do one. The question is, do we pay more fees and change/do more keys, or do we just do a simple 2nd run of it that can be done really easily and very fast.

Pics of the original set will be added tomorrow if not posted by others before then... and probably some more details too.

This will happen alongside Biohazard and some other keys hopefully. Feel free to shout out any ideas for keys you would like to be done alongside it, I'm very open to suggestions for new keys to go with this. My ideas only go so far, so its up to the community to tell me what they want.

Dave out.

Any way to add a poll to this thread? I can see that both old sets or new sets is a good idea, but forcing everyone to get one or the other will lower the overall costs for everyone.

1. Adding an orange portal and blue portal key like Hazeluff's two piece set would be good.
2. All portals in color along with the water in the picture of the guy swimming and getting shocked.
3. Perhaps replace some less popular keys with some new designs, here's some ideas:

a. sentry facing forward rather than from the side since the sentries are cute too. Not sure if it would be cooler with its turrets revealed or hidden
b. glados (just the "face" part probably)
c. Wheatley (that main british guy from portal 2)
d. something related to a potato (I saw my brother playing portal 2 but I haven't played it myself so I'm not entirely sure what this is about)
e. the portal gun (not sure what angle would be best)
f. spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace sphere (whoops, realized that Wheatley and the space sphere are the same except that one has a blue eye and the other has a yellow/orange eye)

Basically instead of sticking with just educational/warning symbols like we did, maybe aim more for things from the games that stick out such as iconic characters and items. The keys that people love seem to be related to this theme. I'm pretty sure for example that nobody cares about the one with the guy in the water getting shocked. I haven't played the whole game so maybe someone who has could add more to this list.

I actually like the simplicity of the Warning symbols. My vote is for exactly like the first run, and count me in for a set.

I'd like it to be different from the first. Firstly because I like having something that others don't, and secondly because I want a greater variety of portal caps.
Got a smaller board with white ALPS, Montereys, Cherry Blues, Reds, or Clears you'd like to offload?  Shoot me a PM. Looking for a grey Leopold FC700R in particular.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

How about the blue and orange portals for F and J ?

If there would be new motives, then I would add the portal gun.

while i like the f and j idea, they'd have to be a different profile than the rest.

While f and j may be a good idea, I think most people are interested for Function/Mod row for novelty keycaps. Someone threw a poll up before for where the pair would be best and I think Mod was ahead. Its nice since you have pairs of mod keys (left and right side).

I am interested in a set, if there are any new keys. Not so much if it is just the same set. I may be interested in original set that is modified slightly.

Your creeper design makes me happy (I love it) and sad (unlikely to happen) all at the same time.

OT:  I'm in and demik's idea on the portals is intriguing.

This time I'd be in for one set, maybe two. I think the old one is perfect, but adding the hazeluff-keys with the two men only would be awesome!
