[IC] SA Ectoplasm
« on: Wed, 01 August 2018, 11:02:46 »
Welcome to my Ghostbusters themed SA set interest check.

Of course once this all goes live i can't use any of the Ghostbusters stuff due to copyrights.

I am planning on doing split up of sets right now, and will have some novelties (WIP).

Kits is as followed:
- Alphas
- Mods
- Num Pad
- 40%/Ortholinear
- Ergo
- colevrak
- NordeUK
- Space Bars (6u/7u/Shift sizes)
- Community
- VIM
- Novelties

Profile SA (lets get this figured out)

Set will be produced by SP, still working on vendor right now.

Here is the picture that I have based this whole set on, a set of figures by Sideshow Toys that i wanted to pick up years ago.



And now the set (credit to thesiscamper for the renders)








Breakdown of the kits: I know i'm missing some items and some kits have a lot of extras. But please continue to let me know what you'd like to see.

This is sweet! I'm an 80's kid so you had my attention with the name "SA Ectoplasm", but after seeing the renders I feel like this a must have set for me! You definitely nailed the colors & it looks great IMO. I know you're gonna have to be careful with copyrights making this set, I gotta ask though, any chance of a Slimer (movie Slimer, not cartoon Slimer) novelty cap?

Slimer is on the books to be a novelty. I have some fun ideas, but again, just working on making sure none of them hit those copyrights.

That’s a good design but doesn’t scream Ghostbusters or Ectoplasm to me, a bit too muted for my taste.

I think this colorway either needs custom mods that are specific to the theme (like the github mods in Oblivion), or the colors would lend well to mixing multiple themes into the novelties (same way that Troubled Minds and EVA01 are one colorway)

I really dig the idea and the way you sourced the palette. I feel like the black doesn’t ait in well when it’s used in such a small area, especially when that’s the only hit of red.. i dig that you got it from the  red name on black in their uniforms, but that black is balanced against the bulky black tech gear. I’m trying to think how to crack it. Mainly it needs more presence, like a black numbad to balance it, or black and green alternating f row blocks. I really like what you’re going for with it.

I'd like to see a 1.25u and/or 1.5u Caps Lock key, for those of us who switch the caps and control. sets always have a 1.75u control key, but never a 1.25 or 1.5u caps lock to go with it.

It's rare but it included a 1.25u "SHIFT LOCK" in Jukebox R2 non-standard kit. I guess its absence is due to the numerous variants and corresponding cost raised for all variants. It usually sits on the 1.75 R3 position for "CAPS LOCK" and "SHIFT LOCK". Once they are moved out, they could be out of the picture, which happens in 7u spacebar hhkb layout; they could be switched to the position of bottom row 1.25u, 1.5u, or even 1u. The later requires 3 more keys added for full coverage, which will raise the cost significantly.

Probably 112343 or 112344

Honestly there are other keysets in 312343 (Some of the more well known and sought after SA sets, like Pulse R1, Modern Selectric, or Hack'd), It's not an unheard of profile, just not as common as 112343 or 112344.

And that is where i was coming from when originally wanting to do that profile. I liked the older layout to those sets. But i also understand things change and i'll certainly think about changing it.

It's your set, so I'd say do what you want with it. But consider the possibility of just adding a compatibility kit that is just the F row in whichever row profile you decide not to make part of the base kit

I used to like 112344 until I realised that the SA spacebar(s) will still be R3 (unlike e.g. MT3 profile that has it sculptured in R4) until someone pays for new mould(s). So probably 112343?

Interesting, would it be possible to also make it an all-green flex-kit? Unless it should be a separate kit.

But then in the full set render it is the same creamy color as the alphas.  Which is correct?

But speaking of thematic space bars, this one is on Massdrop right now.... and I keep eyeing it because it reminds me of the Ghost Trap....

I get the space bar is thematic but I'd really like an alpha-color option

I tend to agree.

But speaking of thematic space bars, this one is on Massdrop right now.... and I keep eyeing it because it reminds me of the Ghost Trap....

That reminds me, i keep meaning to reach out to Martin about doing some of those in SA to go with the set...

Slimer would make a fabulous novelty!



Unfortunately it'd probably incur copyright issues to include him. Then again, might be worth contacting Universal to gauge possibility of permissions..? Thinking of the Star Trek set, which gained official approval; another example is XDA Scrabble. (Just wondering out loud here. I have zero idea myself how hard it is to jump such hoops and it may well be too difficult.)

So i've done a lot of research on trying to get official approval and I really don't think it'll happen. They don't even like fan sites to use official images on forums. I've sent out an email to WB (might be Sony, its been a minute and i don't remember which it was) about 2 months ago and haven't heard back, i'll try again soon.

It will be a great addition to pair with this set, when it comes out.

Agreed, would love to know. These are fantastic, really makes it easy to see what the set would look like in person.

I think the keyset is nice too -- fun theme, interesting colors (SA CCnG kinda?).

Yup, my mistake.

Who owns the rights to Ghostbusters IP? Now that we have official Star Trek and Star Wars sets, I wonder what the odds are of more ideas like this "going official".

I do love the newer MT3 profile, I have to admit. I don't know what can and can't be done in that profile right now, but I bet this set would look good in it too.

The MT3 profile is a very interesting one indeed, however there are some factors that don't make it as easy of a choice as SA

#1 Massdrop owns the tooling, any MT3 set will have to be a drop on their store.
#2 Doubleshot tooling is still being created for the recent Susuwatari set from matt3o, and the font chosen might not be everyone's choice for new sets.
#3 Due to #1, the time to get the set to GB phase could take easily just as long as the current SP SA production schedule is.

Well, this set may never take off now but at least we have "Ghostbustin'" from NovekKeys.
https://novelkeys.com/products/ghostbustin

Interestingly enough, the space bar looks like the one I mentioned in this very thread back in 2018.  😅

I have a Ghostbustin' set on the way to me.  But that being said, SA Ectoplasm was a great idea.  Will always be a fan.
