That reddish orange next to the Pantone chip is the backup RAL? I like that one way better anyway. The lighter orange feels "weak" compared to that excellent green, and might also have contrast issues against the white. The redder orange would be nice and bold.
SO DAMN NICE LETS GOOOOOO

Any reason for hirangana sublegends? I think the set would look much much cleaner without them.

Okay this is beautiful. One of the best I’ve seen in a while. Hiragana works so well too.
thanks again for a well worked ic and a great set! I’ll be in forsure
green deskmat is also stunning
Fair enough. I just think every set nowadays has that sublegend. If a regular alpha set separate is not out of the question, I'm in.Any reason for hirangana sublegends? I think the set would look much much cleaner without them.

With the main inspiration of this set being rooted so firmly in Japanese monster movies, i feel that the sublegends are the perfect fit. I also realize that they are not everyone's cup of tea... My intent is to do this set and the inspiration as much justice as possible while still retaining a classy keyset that looks great on a board, even if that decision results in targeting a narrower audience.
That doesn't mean that, depending on interest and kitting, regular alphas are out of the question. But I do think removal of the sublegends completely would deviate too much.Okay this is beautiful. One of the best I’ve seen in a while. Hiragana works so well too.

By any chance, is the color scheme loosely based off of the original's King of the Monsters! movie poster? If so - nice.
Will the missing furigana be on the final set?
Will there be added 65% support for R3 Page Up and R4 Page Down?
Not that one specifically, but I looked through many of the vintage illustration style posters. The one that actually had the biggest influence was King Kong Vs. GodzillaShow Image(https://brian.carnell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/king-kong-vs-godzilla-poster.jpg)
Side note on King of Monsters, somebody pointed out that GMK can actually stand as the initials for Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah—All the present in the King of Monsters film! Pretty serendipitous :)
The goal of the final set is to use the legends present in Serika, which i realize isn't fully present in the renders/kit outlines.
Too early to say on the Page Up/Dn, as it all depends on feedback during IC. If you haven't had a chance to fill out the IC survey i would suggest doing so and adding in that feedback. It was high on the list of considerations for the extra keys in Metropolis, but we favored some additional coverage keys.
Dude :eek: That'd be dope to get a novelty of the three of them but that's a whole other thing.
yeah the render on the 910 sold me on this one, now i need to get a pc case.
Green and orange, both my faved colors. Will definitely get this sets. Nephl0ck, speaking of novelties, it will be great to have a row (f keys) of kaiju monsters icons. That will be so dope
Please do a Kobe kit. I know GMK Wavez didn't make it, but I think it's because it had nothing to do with the theme. This would be perfect and would allow for a reasonably priced ortho/40's kit with the abnormalities/warnings.All kits will be made for Wavez including Kobe. But yeah, kobe will be a nice kit

Super excited for my metroplois set and if this runs I will for sure going in on it. Just curious, you have a rounded font on all the legends on these and I was curious if you were going to use custom legends for every key? Or are those placeholders for the standard cherry ones that GMK uses by default. Also all the keys on the diagram have a size of 1.25u when I am pretty sure some of them should be 2.25u or 1.75u.
This set is going to look super cool on my Tokyo 60 and it will be fun to have a Godzilla set on a Tokyo board.

Yeah it’s a close approximation legend for placeholder. Good catch! They will be standard GMK legends.
Also good catch on the sizes. You’re correct! I have to type those in manually and must have missed a few! I’ve got an update coming soon so I’ll make sure they get fixed!

Awesome! Does GMK have a set of Hiragana and that's what will be used or will those be custom? Sorry for the questions but I am interested in keycap designing and this set has really inspired me.

They have a set, yeah. This set will utilize the same sublegends as Serika, which differ slightly. The only custom shots would be the novelties :)
Literally have been dreaming of this colorway forever and it's got hiragana sub-legends! You know exactly what I like, I wanna see this next to my GMK Bento. :D

Is there a planned date for this?
NE updates?
When will the GB possibly start?
Working on an update soon. Currently traveling at the moment, but once I’m back in October I’ll have more time to get back on this. Thanks for the patience guys. Been a busy summer
just noticed that there's a 2u shift in the base kit. would you consider moving one of the 1u shifts into the base kit for arrow cluster 60's?
Any idea on when the extra kits will show up on Novel keys? I really don’t want to miss out on getting the novelties.
PLEASE RUN IN PBT, this would be the perfect set for that

Is there any possibility of a R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn being added to the base kit?
This set is growing on me a lot. Maybe it's my monitor, but that 172c looks nothing like the red orange in your renders. I wouldnt say anything, but they are completely different colors so there..
Here's an image to illustrate my previous point:That is very differentShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/yvq5ZS6.jpg)
You can see that the beige is pretty close, but the oranges/reds are really quite different.

Ne 2nd no sublegend B avail? Personally I wouldn't use it myself, but that could be nice for some people, otherwise they'd have to go in on GMK 🅱️ or use the one with sublegends. Think of the children

Sets sell just as well with numpad in the base
Sets sell just as well with numpad in the base
This. Removing the numpad saves a few bucks on the base sure (typically less than $10), but then causes the need for a 35$ child kit. I find this weighting to be favoring a large punishment to those needing it in favor of a small gain for those who don’t, and the numbers don’t clearly show favor in either direction.
The two R4 1.75u blank keycaps in the Abnormalities Kit are convex, right? I wanted to make sure because they are not marked convex in the kit picture, but GMK does have 1.75u convex tooling.
Where will the desk mats be sold?

Personal preference maybe and probably too late, but it might look more natural with sublegends on the numpad too so it doesn't feel as empty. Either way, great looking set!
That's unfortunate about the cream and orange. That was such a sick colorway. Any chance those samples would be sold as b-stock or are they that bad?

There weren’t enough made to sell, as this was just to get samples over to us. the bad ones were likely trashed. Apparently the problem exists with all white (or close to white) deskmats so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a big scale back on those designs.

I appreciate your feedback! I considered this when working on it but ultimately designed them this way to match with the simplicity of the icon modifiers, so that the set overall has some breathing room and doesn't become overly complex visually. Kits have been finalized, so barring anything egregious, this is what you'll see next week.
DESKMAT UPDATE
In working on the deskmat samples, the cream and orange deskmat has such a high failure rate due to the lighter color that we don't feel comfortable releasing it as an option. Unfortunately, we will only be proceeding with the green variant.
Since this is running on Drop, will they be doing any MOQ vs price drops?
the alphas are much darker on Drop's page. Which ones are actually expected colors?

Don't worry. That was intentional. I've had them cancel the drop for the deskmat due to some color problems with the sample. We're going to re-open the drop after we iron the color issue out. Momentary hiccup, but I want the deskmat to turn out just as well as the keyset does :thumb:
