Re: [IC] GMK Violet Tendencies - Updated with base kit render!
« Reply #100 on: Sun, 12 November 2017, 01:48:13 »
Hey folks! Sorry for my absence! I've been in transition for the last couple months while closing on a new house. Just got all moved in, and slowly getting my office set up. With the recent drop of laser, along with a billion other kits, I've decided to wait until February most likely, to run the GB. My render guy has become too expensive for me (hell, even ramen is too expensive for me now after buying this house), so I'll have to find some other way to come up with the final renders. The base kit has been adjusted quite a bit. F5,6,7,8 in GR1 have been added as well  :D, it's coming in at 162 keys, no idea on pricing, but it wont be super cheap. But I'll keep it as cheap as I possibly can, while still making sure those doing the heavy lifting are compensated fairly for their time an effort. The 40/45/Basic ortho kit has been trimmed down drastically and will only have about 20 keys. The space bar kit is looking like it'll be about 10 keys. I'll throw up some default renders of kit contents in a few days.

Edit; On second(or 40th) thought, after seeing the base kit coverage for laser, I might ask mito if I can copy his coverage... That way It'd just be 1 kit, plus the space bar kit... Thoughts?

TL;DR - Violet Tendencies is still indeed happening!

Glad to see that everything is alright with you and that things are moving along. Laser kits would be really helpful I think since it would cover most things. I don't see this GB's kits not hitting MOQ since everyone and their mothers all love purple around here.

Agree, Laser's base kit is terrific and should be emulated, but it might quickly put the price of the overall kit a bit higher than you might anticipate. Hoping it doesn't because I am a big fan of this set!

I dont know i like inclusive sets like Laser. I think in the end it helps lower cost for everyone. I would guess most people in the community run are have a non standard board. With inclusive kit.. something that might cost 20-30 dollars extra ends up being 10-15 dollars extra.. which leads to more buy ins which leads to price drops. Which in turn leads to it being 30-40 dollars cheaper when all is said and done.

Don't know if it's just me but I greatly prefer Violet Tendencies over Black Lotus. Much prefer the deeper darker purple of this set.

Haha, thanks. I obviously much prefer my keyset over his, but maybe I'm a bit biased  :p  Though to be fair, he's been trying to get his made for much longer than I have mine. I also suppose this will give me more time to generate more interest, more renders, maybe add some novelties if enough people are interested. As it stands now, I'm not sure that if I were to run in Feb as I'd hoped, it'd even reach moq. Hundreds of people have shown interest, but statistics show that only about 1/4 of the people that say they'll purchase, actually buy it. So for now, I'll just keep working on renders, and generating more hype, so that hopefully when we do go live, there wont be any doubt that it'll reach MOQ. (Also maybe by that time, I'll be able to afford to buy more sets personally, just in case.)

Did Violet Tendencies had standard gmk colors or custom colors?  I mean 150 units should be pretty easy to reach, even without Massdrop. 

Hype is fine, delaying too much is not (people just forget at some point)

Yes, all standard colors, so indeed 150 will be the moq. After watching a few other sets fail to reach moq, I'm not so certain "only" 150 kits sold is as easy as people think it is. But, we'll get there. Considering I only started working on this set 6 months ago, and only 3 months ago did we decide it was actually going to happen, it hasn't really been that long. Most kits take a year or two. I'll still run it in 2018, but people will need time to heal from other kits, and yule time, etc etc. Running my kit too soon after another purple kit, through the same vendor, would likely not yield the best results. I'm as bummed as you all are that it wont be running sooner, but that's the way things go. It'll all work out, everyone will be (mostly)happy!  :)

GMK has a long lead time at the moment, it'll never be a 3 month delivery. That's just the way it is, no matter how much money we throw at it, or how popular it is. It's not the year+ SP has for SA sets, but it'll be substantial. 6 months after group buy finishes is a good estimate. Might (probably) be more, doubt it'll be less. There's nothing we as vendors/designers can do about it.

If it’s Good it’s worth waiting for. Rather have a GB start in may and shipping in july than one starting now and shipping in August...

GMK has a long lead time at the moment, it'll never be a 3 month delivery. That's just the way it is, no matter how much money we throw at it, or how popular it is. It's not the year+ SP has for SA sets, but it'll be substantial. 6 months after group buy finishes is a good estimate. Might (probably) be more, doubt it'll be less. There's nothing we as vendors/designers can do about it.
9009 was about 3/4 months if I'm correct. So it's doable :P

thanks for the update :) I love the transparency, the delay will probably work better for me too as I need to have my wallet recover still

As another Portlander who did a GMK set, Vox is absolutely correct.  It's at least 3 months from money in hand until production is done.

Vox, great job.  Love the colorway.

It was a rendering mistake.  I believe the duplicate dark Function keys are supposed to be purple.

They were indeed a rendering oversight, The extra F5-F8 will likely be GR1 to give an uniform F row option. Still haven't had any luck finding anyone to do revised kit renders.

I'm so in on this one! Any new update on when the GB will start? And what was the inspiration for this colorway?

I love GMK Hydro, but thought it'd look better with purple instead lol. No idea on GB, at this point, might need to find a new vendor, and I'm not exactly proactive about these things.

Base kit will be similar to GMK Laser's cyberdeck, so yes, both :)

Don't know if it's just me but I greatly prefer Violet Tendencies over Black Lotus. Much prefer the deeper darker purple of this set.

Haha, thanks. I obviously much prefer my keyset over his, but maybe I'm a bit biased  :p  Though to be fair, he's been trying to get his made for much longer than I have mine. I also suppose this will give me more time to generate more interest, more renders, maybe add some novelties if enough people are interested. As it stands now, I'm not sure that if I were to run in Feb as I'd hoped, it'd even reach moq. Hundreds of people have shown interest, but statistics show that only about 1/4 of the people that say they'll purchase, actually buy it. So for now, I'll just keep working on renders, and generating more hype, so that hopefully when we do go live, there wont be any doubt that it'll reach MOQ. (Also maybe by that time, I'll be able to afford to buy more sets personally, just in case.)
 

Did Violet Tendencies had standard gmk colors or custom colors?  I mean 150 units should be pretty easy to reach, even without Massdrop. 

Hype is fine, delaying too much is not (people just forget at some point)

Yes, all standard colors, so indeed 150 will be the moq. After watching a few other sets fail to reach moq, I'm not so certain "only" 150 kits sold is as easy as people think it is. But, we'll get there. Considering I only started working on this set 6 months ago, and only 3 months ago did we decide it was actually going to happen, it hasn't really been that long. Most kits take a year or two. I'll still run it in 2018, but people will need time to heal from other kits, and yule time, etc etc. Running my kit too soon after another purple kit, through the same vendor, would likely not yield the best results. I'm as bummed as you all are that it wont be running sooner, but that's the way things go. It'll all work out, everyone will be (mostly)happy!  :)
 


I hope so :) 

On a side note, please don't go via massdrop, just go for multiple proxies.

No, no massdrop. That'd take years, and their queue is already insane.
