Any update?
We’ve been talking it over and are going to delay until late Jan/early Feb. I got my exact bonus numbers now and I can’t manage as many sets as would like to yet, and there are an insane number of GMK buys right now (especially Tokyo nights cause there is a degree of overlap there), too many coming, and holiday shopping season is upon us.
I’d rather wait until I can buy at least 50 sets as originally planned to keep the moq to 200 for the buy itself.
I also talked it over with potatobot and he is open to doing the hiragana alphas in the base and considering monochrome to keep the prices down (all black or lavender, no 3rd color). Im putting together a poll now to actually lock down kits and colors and stuff.
I also am looking for an artist to do some box art and stuff.
Anyway, I wanna lock down kits within the next month or so so we can get prices and I can try and setup proxies and such. I’d like to try and pick and announce a specific date by around November so people have 3 months to plan their spending.
I know this might not be the timeline people want to hear, but I rather wait and run it when success is more likely than run it now and fail and then try and justify another attempt.
Oh, and if anyone knows any good artists lemme know, I want some box art and some stuff for a website
I am 100% committed to running this buy tho, I need it lol. I just don’t think running it in Nov/Dec makes sense and Oct already looks nutty :O.
Oh also, I’m gonna try and cover as many layouts as I can think of in my survey, but if you have an obscure keyboard you want coverage for please reply here (soonish) so I can add it to the poll. Right now the only details that are really locked down are black, lavender, 9009 style modifiers, novelties for accel world (though the specific novelties and count could change).
Otherwise it’s all up in the air, 1 big kit, a few kits, weeb or English alphas (I personally think unless the support is overwhelmingly for weeb alphas, that English as the base still makes more sense), alternating or single color frow, sublegends on numpad, etc... so let’s here opinions. What do you want? What do you care about?
I will try to post the survey and start a mailing list by Sunday tho.
PS, my rendering capabilities are limited currently, but I plan to buy a full keyshot license on Black Friday so after that expect to see a lot more renders
