I am also interested in a set containing the exact colors in the original colorway (minus novelties/accents, those were the least interesting aspect of the original project.)
Rather than starting from scratch - im curious what Cartel had in mind, not only were they the partners in the original project, they had intimated they had a theme and tweaks for the set already in mind.
For what its worth, I would actually be interested in Cartel taking the lead on the set, for those reasons.
I've also said that recently, not sure if Donutcat reached out to Cartel before starting this thread.
I discussed that in the Doom thread
Without the novelties it's not CU's design, as this colourway has been run before on the Exent set. Additionally, as Cartel has already showed interest in running this, I think they should be the ones to do it, as they were heavily involved in this GB.
I'd be interested in letting them have it to run as we're pretty good buddies, I'm just wanting to get my hands on the set design for it really since I don't get much of an opportunity to throw together a set without having to worry about all the logistics behind it. Plus I think I could do a decent bit to help the kit design out.
Donut, I don't see why we'd have any issue with collaborating on it if you have some ideas and get the greenlight from CU (I agree with you on that, matter of respect even if the core colorway has shown up elsewhere). Obviously sales logistics is the only real question mark since we're both US retailers, but I imagine we could all sort something fair out.
Let me know what you hear and think tho, maybe there's something we can all make happen here.
Me and most of the dudes at Cartel are pretty good buds(at least that's how it feels to me), so I'd be very open to working with them on the set. I'm very much in favor of giving them the GB, if that's how they want to go about it, since they did so much of the work for Doom, I'm just wanting to focus on the design of the set.
Since this set isn't being offered with accents, it would be nice if it we're offered in a colorway where there are accents available.
Oco has several sets of accents intended for Dolch that have N9 as the legend color.
Probably the brightest stock GMK gray that doesn't come across as off-white is CC.
My vote is N9.
Accents aren't in the set currently, but they might be as people tell me what they're wanting out of it. I know there's lots of CMY(K) accent kits that happen, so I was wanting to differ a little and try maybe an RGB accent pack for it since I think RO2, V4, and N7 could go very well with the colors of the set.
this was available in GMK Doom.
I think going down that route is a recipe for failure. GMK Doom didn’t do well and if we want this set to go differently changes will have to be made. Getting rid of very similar keys, that are only useful for one layout, to make room for compatibility is probably a better route.
Thinking it over, I can get behind getting rid of 1u backspace.
Ultimately that's up to people to decide. If a bunch of people decide they don't want the 1u Backspace/1.5u Delete in the set, or vice versa, then sobeit. Personally, I'm a fan of 1.5u Backspace and 1u \|, but if I want there to be desire for the set I've got to listen to what people want.
