[IC] GMK Retrowave [GB August 1]
« on: Mon, 12 October 2020, 20:09:41 »
GB THREAD LIVE:


WELCOME TO:

TOTALLY BODACIOUS IDEA BRO
Right on man! The 80s were huge for me. Firstly, I was born in the 80s, and thanks to my older siblings I grew up playing the 1986 Sega classic and love everything about the Retrowave iconography. Thus, GMK Retrowave was born.This is unashamedly out there 80s. Bright, fluorescent colours. Unmistakable retrowave novelties and ultimately a bit of fun! Excellent.

Now, to set the scene:
Its 1987. You’ve just come off Venice beach on a hot July afternoon as the sun is setting. But your day has only just begun. You run to the arcade. You grab a cola, your quarters and head to your favourite seat. You strap in, load your coins, hands on the wheel and wait. 3….2….1…. DRIVE.
You pass each car with ease, changing the station on the radio as you note the time left on your clock. You speed up level by level as day turns to night but you’re not slowing down. You look out beyond the cyan palm trees, towards the jagged hills as their glow increases and you begin to dream. It’s just you, your F40 and a never ending road, driving towards that neon sun.
 

PRICING:

BASE KIT:
I like big base kits and I cannot lie. Numpad and UK-ISO in base. This is the 80s, small kits aren't a thing yet.


KATAKANA ALPHAS:
Bring in the essence of those neon signs on a Tokyo night, with these replacement alphas.

BARS:
Let's hope these are flat? But if not I made them yellow, like a banana.

NOVELTIES:

COMPACT:
Compatibility for those who, for whatever reason, do not like using an actual keyboard


DESKMAT: OUTRUN

DESKMAT: RETRO

RAMA x RETROWAVE SUN

Probably the single most identifiable piece of the iconography.

RAMA x RETROWAVE SHOE

RENDERS:
HH60 by Hong Hobbies:



Evolv by Alpha Studios:




U80 by RAMA WORKS

Hey! Just noticed a few inaccuracies with the renders:
  • 1.25u R4 Alt is different to 1.5u Alt Gr
  • Iso & Numpad Enter legends look proportionally weird
GL with the IC Stef!

EDIT: Thanks for clearing up these for me NathanAlphaMan, guess you learn something new everyday :)

Hey man, interesting set. Not at all my thing but I'm sure this will be killer for some people.

I have one suggestion for you; In your J-01 ISO render (thanks for adding one  :) ) the ISO R3 and R4 keys are discrepant. The base kit suggests that you are going full UK-ISO (which is great!) but the render does not follow suit. Not a serious sin and was probably just a mix up when rendering, though it's probably in your best interest to make a small amendment to it.

Best of luck with your IC!

This set is so aggressively bright and I love it. Those RAMA keys are PRIMO. Would have to go buy programmable LEDs along with this, then re-map ESC to be a script so when I press that sweet, sweet RAMA it would change all the lights to a Retrowave color scheme and start playing that song from the video in the original post  :cool:

Thanks so much for the early comments guys. We've just added an IC form if you'd like to share any feedback we can keep a hold of.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-qPzP1fNMIC0FeT0jPn70HnjqjJGTwNeSExbNs3L33colBQ/viewform

I'll be reviewing all feedback and comments here - I hear your comments about the deskmat, for those looking for something else unique we've hopefully got some good news to share soon

Many thanks!

Obligatory video, before anyone calls this a vaporwave set:


The colors you've picked are very nice and vibrant, and they are the colors representative of Outrun aesthetics. Great job there. Also, the artisans are fantastic. I'm not a fan of the novelties, but that's not to say that they aren't done well, too.

As for the kitting, it's quite good, but there is still room for improvement. Here are some suggestions for your consideration:

Base kit
Looks good for the most part, the most glaring thing is the lack of a R4 1.25u Fn key.
  • Change R4 1.25u Menu to Fn.
    • Fn is the more common legend, used on a wide variety of boards and sizes. Menu has limited uses, primarily for “standard”/non-programmable TKL and full-size boards with 6.25u bottom rows. But in these cases, Fn is a viable replacement for it, whereas Menu isn't really a viable replacement for Fn in other cases.
    • Fn is also more popular overall, so it would be the preferred legend choice here.
    • The alternative would be to add a R4 1.25u Fn key together with the Menu key, but I think there's no need for that since Fn can substitute for Menu, as described above.

  • Potentially replace the UK-specific ISO keys with basic 4-key ISO support (using R3 \|, R4 <> for the alphas).
    • Let's talk numbers. According to the results of the r/MK Megasurvey 2020, ISO-UK users only make up around 2.6% of users in the community (for reference, ISO users as a whole make up around 16.2%). This implies that only a small number of users will be able to make use of the UK-specific alpha keys you've included in the kit.
    • Statistically speaking, these keys could be put to better use by, say, adding more compatibility for Mac users (1.5u Super keys), or by being removed to save a couple of $ off the kit price. With three custom colors and a large base kit, this might make a difference when it comes down to retail pricing.
    • On the other hand, I will say that UK users react positively to seeing their keys included in base kits, so this may result in a slight increase in sales coming from the UK. Maybe? I don't really have the numbers for this, so it's just speculation.
    • My proposition is to change the ISO compatibility to that seen in sets like GMK Navy, GMK βeta, GMK Evil Dolch etc., with the R3 \|, R4 <> keys. You can read here why these legends in particular.

  • Remove the numpad 00 key.
    • Honestly, this key is sort of useless. No common ≥60% layouts use it, and it's pretty much only useful for some standalone numpads (which are rare, and this kit doesn't fully cover them anyway) and as a second B substitute for Alice boards (which is irrelevant in this case since there is a second B in the base kit).
    • For these reasons, it can be removed without any major detriment to the set.
    • If you really want to keep it, I actually suggest replacing the two homing variants of the numpad 5 key with a single non-homing key.

  • Optionally, add two R4 1.5u Super keys and a second R4 1u Alt key.
    • These keys cover the aforementioned Mac users, as well as users who like to use the OG HHKB bottom row setup on their HHKB or WKL boards.
    • The second 1u Alt is also useful for various 40% boards.

Katakana alphas kit
Almost perfect! There is just one small omission.
  • Add the missing quaternary (top-right) sublegend to the R1 -_ホ key.
    • This character is a Japanese prolonged sound mark (chōonpu), the same one as on the `~ー key.
    • This sublegend is required for complete and accurate coverage of the ANSI-JP layout, which the kit is based on.
    • For reference, see this guide and the GMK Mecha-01 base kit (whence the molds for your kit came).

Bars kit
Looks good.
  • You may just want to make the 6u bars alpha-colored (purple) instead of accent-colored ().

Compact kit
This one's a doozy. It's getting late, and I have work in the morning, so I'm going to leave this one for next time :D



All in all, I think this is a great looking and well executed set, which I have no doubt will do well come GB time. Additionally, I hope you will find the above information useful when making adjustments to the kits. Happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions.

Agree on making space bar not yellow.. or just getting rid of all the yellow..Me HATE yellow with a passion. But either way, this might be the best pink, and the best 80's/cyberpunk/retrowave/whatever set I've seen yet. Absolutely love it. Only way it could be better, is in SA profile to go with retro theme... and becasue SA is the best thing ever.

+1, I like the concept very much, but I too would prefer some more orange and blue on the mods in order to cover more of the outrun color palette

Edit, forgot to tell what I really like: Rama Artisans (both of them, I'm getting one of the two variants for sure), all the novelties and the katakana option

I’m 100% in. 80s art and music is my thing. Purple my favorite color. I’m sold.
