Landing
The endless dark poured over the cosmonaut as he stepped out of his space capsule.
 It was as cold and quiet as the still of night. He looked ahead across the surface of this foreign moon. Barren, cratered, yet beautiful. The horizon was still such a sight to behold. Stars and darkness kissing the tops of mountains in the distance. The sky was the most beautiful He'd ever seen. While observing his attention was immediately directed to what appeared to be a moving star? An Asteroid? No, not a star, a space ship! The ship appeared to be coming in for a landing a ways off.

 Astonished, the cosmonaut pushed off the moon's surface and into the air. He just had to get a closer look. In the distance, the mysterious space ship lands with a cloud of dust. It was long and slender with tendrils along the sides of it. It looked organic. The front end was larger than the back with large and small round Orbs of light all over it. It almost looked like a giant creature. Parts of the ship looked like they were alive the way they were glowing and moving. Moving closer he can see that the orbs are windows! The body of ship was as dark as the dead of space; the windows glowed bright like star.

Anxiety and curiosity washed over the cosmonaut as he rushed to the unknown vessel as fast as one could in such gravity. He leapt from crater to dune, dust flying into the air. He was thinking "what will I find?!" As he gets closer to the mysterious ship he starts to think if running out there was a good idea. Should he have just stayed at the capsule? Its too late. He's almost there. No turning back now.

 As the cosmonaut comes upon the large ship he's breathless at the sight of it. He thinks to himself, "such a strange looking ship. It must be aliens!" As he takes another step towards the ship the bottom hatch starts to open. The door is large and…pulsing? It looks as if it has glowing tubes or veins running through it. Mist begins to pour out of the opening kicking more dust into the air. The cosmonaut is thinking, "What is about to happen? What is going to be on the other side of that hatch? Was this a mistake?" As the hatch fully opens the mist starts to dissipate and reveals nothing but a void of darkness. Unable to take his eyes off of the darkened entrance of the ship, the cosmonaut was as still as could be, not a thought in his mind.
There in the darkness he sees nothing but a set of purple glowing eyes…

VT contrast PTSD.  :rolleyes:

I'd work on the mods a bit personally, and change a few keys in the basekit - but overall pretty cool!

Oh, and art is on point as always! :)

Looks great, hope you can nail the contrast on the mods!

Also, your rows are wrong on the base set picture/info thing. In the bottom left you have R2 for the extra caps/r3 control and ansi enter and then have R3 for the extra shifts that should be R4

Also, please decide on only one renderer, this is confusing. I remember Shoko did this in IC as well and it was difficult to know what to expect.
One renderer has the mods really black, while the other one portrays them as dark gray.

Which is it?

Thats is just a lighting difference, The renders from Janglad have brighter light while Abec's are more natural. You would get this color shift with IRL different lighting. I didnt think the color shift between these two people's preference was enough to warrant the set looking completely different. If it is a huge problem, I can easily post the chips. I bought all the color chips for color matching already.

Thanks for pointing that out! I did the row numbers myself, and I must admit. I dont know much about keyboards. this is more so my bfs hobby. Hes just gotten me sucked in XD

I am not so sure, abecs more "natural" looks much more saturated, while janglads "brighter light" looks more muted. That's not the affect lighting has on keycaps.

This is very confusing, at least to me. Maybe I am alone in feeling that way. :)

Jan's renders are the more saturated ones. Regardless, if it's a huge issue, I will post the colors. No worries.

a few 1.25u novelties would be great, even if they're the same graphic as the 1u's.

and since violet tendencies has already been mentioned, please make sure that the contrast between the mods and its labels is good enough, that was a pretty big issue with violet tendencies. the renders were fine but irl the mods were pretty unreadable under darker lightning conditions.

the deskmat is cute af. :thumb:

 Thanks for the feed back! I will definitely be keen on making sure that once we're in color matching stage, that legibility will be on my list. My sight is bad in low light personally, so being able to see the legends in lower lighting is high priority!

I'm usually not a big fan of novelties, but the three novelties pictured are nice.  I like the design and the look of the purple on the lighter lavender.  I have no idea what the image on the Esc key is, though.  (I thought maybe the man-in-the moon, but who knows.)

I assume some novelty renders will be posted eventually?

I see a lot of people in the Google form asking for prices. I don't have a quote for the current kits because GMK told me that they will only give me two quotes for free. Any price quotes past that get charged as an additional fee on top of the quoted prices. (Eg. A kit might be 30$ but become $35-$40 because of too many kit revisions that asked for a quote each time it was changed.)

Once I have enough form fillouts to gague weather it not kit revisions should be made them I'll hit up gmk for a quote!  :D so just hang in there guys, fill out that Google form, and in a few weeks I'll post any potential changes and get your opinions on them and send off for a quote!

Thanks for all the positive feed back thus far, guys!!

Gmk always does sample rounds to be aproved for custom colors so don't worry. I have irl Pantone chips posted in the op. I stacked them to show the legend color next to the mod color. The chips in my hand have good contrast. If the gmk samples don't reflect that, I will keep getting samples untill they do.

Very interested!

Just a question: The mod colourway is different from Violet Tendencies’, is that correct? Specifically, it will actually be legible? That was the big problem of Violet Tendencies, and hopefully this set will avoid that issue.

Yes, VT used a dark purple on dark grey keys. This is a bright purple on a dark blackish purple.

Thank you for the confirmation!

Edit: is it possible to add a 1.5U R3 tab to the Extraterrestrial kit? Pearl needs that 1.5U tab.

No problem, and I'll talk it over with my people and see what I can do!

Thank you for considering! Looking forward to see this in GB regardless.

Posted the Asia Vendor and note about a rough draft of the new novelties! They're pinned in the discord, go check em out and leave some feed back if you will! I will post a render of the final versions here along with any kit revisions soon!

Love the theme here and I'd suggest more novelties with them in a separate kit  ;D

A little confused.  ^-^

Do you mean the colors? Im not sure. Ive not seen what colors that were picked for those sets. I picked these colors by hand myself back in October 2018. What are you confused about? Im sorry I dont understand your question. ^^;

How do you plan to avoid the "almost blank"  problem that Violet Tendencies modifiers had?

Violet tendencies had a deep purple on grey keys.essentially a dark on dark mod colors.  This is a neon purple on an almost black. bright color on dark background. The plan is to just make sure gmk matches my pantones lol

Why would you have Japanese text in the marketing or kit overview, if you're not going to include j-legends?

This is a really good point. With the katakana in the advertising, thought for sure katakana would be main or sub legends. If Katakana is in, then it might be fun!

Are the kits changing (more novelties) or is this gonna be the basic layouts? I like them as-is, but I thought you were cooking up more novelties from the poll that ran when the IC started.

Found the novelty kit on Discord. My only input, if I may, would be to add a r3, 1u novelty, and a couple more r4, 1u ones. It looks like the alien and other animal are done twice.

I’m so confused why the trip back to the moon that we are preparing for seems to be so much harder than the first trip to the moon? Maybe technology has degraded since the 60s ....

Big update!

New Possible kits!! I went ahead and asked for these kits to be rendered but im still waiting as Abec is very busy. But dont worry, they will be done soon! so stay tuned! I will swap out the images on this post when I have them.
Base (novelties and accents removed, basic 40s added)

(https://i.imgur.com/rAF3xzo.png)

due to how poorly the 40s kits for peaches and Terra is doing, we felt it too risky to have a separate 40s kit. If you dislike this decision please let us know in the google form that you would support a separate 40s kit!

Accents

Space bars

Novelties

and possibly an alternate alphas kit!

Hiragana Subs won the poll by a landslide! thanks so much guys! I was really wanting the weeb legends to win XD HOWEVER, Im sure some of you saw the Katakana mono legends that Ren was trying to push on Terra, we really like them. I saw a few asking about Katakana for this set as well. The thing is, GMK doesnt have mold for katakana so its gonna be an expensive af kit, but it looks super nice. So im running a poll for the new kits now! were getting quotes from gmk in December, so please share this post/poll with everyone that you know is interested in this so their voice can be heard before we hit up gmk!!

Poll here: https://forms.gle/qtCmUioPsTkofJJx9

I love the Katakana kit. So nice to see something that's not trying to be something it's not, like all the GMK hiragana sets out there (Hiragana on Japanese keyboards is a real thing but none of the GMK sets support Japanese keyboards). It's cool and fun and it fits the theme perfect. I'd use it even without Alpha legends on it. Honestly this is looking great. This set is a complete win for me. Take my money.
