Re: [IC] ePBT Origami | NEW COLORS! MAJOR REVAMP!
« Reply #50 on: Tue, 23 March 2021, 15:52:39 »
I heard that ePbt's MoQ setup was that, if base kit hits MoQ, then all kits will be made, is that right?

May I request a Colevrak kit please? Pretty please?
I will consider that :thumb:

This is pretty awesome  :thumb:

I love the shade of Grey used and it works super well againt the off-white of the alphas.

-I would be curious to see renders with a slighly different/darker shade of cream for the mods to have a ever so slightly more pronounced contrast.
(but maybe irl these colors will work out perfectly, but just on the renders I feel the 2 shades of off-white/cream of the alphas/mods are slightly too close).

-Same as others, I feel the novelties could be better.
It's totally personal preferences, but I am not a huge fan of some of the animals chosen. They feel a bit too random? (I like the giraffe and maybe one of those birds)
I am not an origami specialist but I feel probably the most popular Origami is the crane, but you don't have one? What about non-animal novelties? For example I like the geometric/abstract shapes you often see in Origami.

-Consider adding Alice support in base kit, since the spacebars kit only has accent split bars.

-I'd like to see a Rama. I feel there is something pretty awesome to be done with the Origami theme. Maybe the missing Crane that I mentioned before?

Excited about the work you are putting in on this IC.

In general the set looks close but I agree with some of the others that something is missing. The struggle is to have representation of:
1. What people think origami is
2. What origami represents as a tradition.

I feel like this set is #1. Nothing wrong with this but it is my take.

The style of the novelties is great but finding a balance of what makes the cut will be hard.

If you focus more on #2 I think this set will do drastically better. Best of luck with this IC!

Love the the set. Reminds me of the Heavy Rain game for PS3.

If you could add a taint of red to the novelty set, it would make it stand out.

I really love the theme! I've loved Origami when I was a kid but abandoned the hobby for a long time :/ I am very impressed by all the great feedback and how you appreciate and incorporate it, so it seems this has the chance to be an amazing keycap set! I haven't seen the versions prior than the one that is online right now and I like the paper-like colour and the modifier colour fits really nicely aesthetically. But it might not fit the theme, so maybe rethink that.
And I would also support the common complaint that the novelties are still not perfect, especially in terms of the motives. Big crane e.g. on enter is a must (I don't recall dinosaurs being a popular motive) and generally more typical / classic origamis would be great. I love the idea of folding instructions and the dotted lines etc., would really like to see what you could come up with in that regard!
GLWIC really looking forward to the next iterations!

Thanks for taking my feedback into consideration.

Personally I never saw the crane, and felt it was just a random bird (and looking at other peoples reaction in the discord, that was also the general concensus nobody knew it was a crane).
So I really feel you should rework the shape to be the classic Origami Crane shape.
Same with other novelties, everybody thought the last one was a dog, which apparently it is not?

I really, really, like how these keycaps are shaping up. So much, in fact, that I’ve finally decided to register in the forum just to ask if it would be possible to add an Int-south kit for south European keyboards (Italy, Spain, Portugal, not sure if any other countries are included), such as the one here:

https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/kam-superuser-int-south_3259/

Pretty please? I’d love to buy this set, but I’ve gotten a bit lazy over the years, and I would prefer having a keyboard whose labels match the letters that will appear when I type!

I really find this keycap set beautiful, you did a great job with the novelties and it has a really warm? feeling in a way from the lighter cream color.

The cream/gray combo works well! I'm not too sold on the mods color, though. I think it's too much of a saturated yellow to match with the unsaturated gray. Then again, I might just be scarred from the memory of ABS yellowing...

Yeah I would actually love to see how a more typical Origami colour would look, it would probably pop really nicely like, well, Origami papers do, which have one side cream-y and one  side e.g. bold bright blue. At least traditionally. Apparently now you can get also with both sides coloured, but from my memory that's not the 'original' version.

Definitely interested. But for the origami, can they be itched in rather than painted/printed? So that they are not obvious when they are there but you can touch them when you slide your fingers across?

I would love to see the NorDe Kit having sublegends as well. Otherwise you are forced to buy Latin Kit as well. Having some keys without a sublegend would look pretty weird as Dragonhunt pointed out before.

I tend to point this out alot:

It would be nice if the Nordic kit had the hiragana sublegends as well.
If you dont add them (for example to the y and z keys) it will look weird in the end.

Apart from that i really like the gray accents.
The paper colour is probably not for everyone but i think it works out in this case.
Looking forward to see how this goes.

Alternatively, it would be cool to have the option of getting the base kit with all latin legends. I understand the sublegends since the theme is Origami which originated in China or Japan iirc. But unfortunately it always comes off as "weeb-y" so I personally don't particularly enjoy the look of sublegends. Maybe it would be better if it was just Hiragana legends or just Latin legends.

I see that u have given yourself the title of Graphic Designer, I think that the set could be a lot better if u took the time to design the novelties for the set yourself. I agree with the others that the novelties need work,  downloading the icons seems like a cheap and easy way to just put something together to get the set done. hope to see your design skill shine in the desk mats! glwic

Yeah, I definitely prefer Latin alphas and how they work with the NorDe kit, but I suppose that would depend on MOQ for another base kit?

Is there any chance of adding an LED window capslock/stepped capslock as well? I know ePBT has them in sets like Kon Momo. It's just so hard to find a PBT set with one, I'd love to see it at least in the icon kit :S

On ePBT, if one set reaches MOQ, you're good, all will be produced.

As of now, I've only bought 1x of each icon used from The Noun Project that means i can manufacture up to 100 novelty kits , regarding the sale hasn't started. If I decide to move on with these novelties, and we get sales, profit margins will go towards paying for the icons used!

Hi, I just came across this set and I really like the progression and where this is going. Love the theme as well!

However, I still feel like it needs a bit of polishing in order for me to put my money on this set. Mainly because of the missing Hiragana sublegends on the NorDeUk kit. I quickly put together a Swedish layout from screen grabs and while not completely annoying, it still looks a bit off with sublegends on some keys and not on others (check out the lonely sublegend on the 1 up in the numbers row ;D)

Maybe there's something you can do about it?
Thanks for all your work so far!  :thumb:
