I am pretty sure I read the rules correctly, so I felt joining this contest would be unfair.
1) I was told it would be a popularity contest beforehand which means any gh or MD old-timer would already have their own fanbase that will likely support their set old or new. Also, since I knew about it beforehand, I felt it would be unfair to join as I would already have a head start even if I did design something new. Color selections can be quick, but having the right novelties could take time if people don't like it or want more.
2) I already had 3D renders and I was sure people joining wouldn't want to or be able to afford nice ones or the lines for render service providers would be congested in the given the short time span for the contest.
3) This IC has been going well-over a week, so many people already know about it.
Requires a specific template.
Rule says only one week to build hype.
This project is presented the old-fashioned way because I want REALLY want the coverage for other kits. Also, as far as feasibility goes, I am waiting for molds such as hiraganas, 1u shift key, and have to decide whether I should do anything to the hiragana kit, novelties, or add/remove anything. So, I think it would be wise to just wait a bit. Besides, it would be like telling me to start over or the coverage would clearly be an advantage, which is why the contest template needs to be strictly followed and also the novelty profiles or limit was not addressed. (e.g. how many R1, R2, R3, R4 novelties is feasible? (what if I made 20 that fits well with it?), do icon mods count as novelties?, are certain row profile keys for novelties easier to produce than another?, etc.).
PS: I already read everyone's old comments just didn't want this thread to notify everyone watching the thread for something unrelated to the next phase, but I felt I should answer this question to avoid rumors. There are some details I need to confirm before I even decide anything or attempt to make any changes and that requires some waiting time to get my questions answered when they are ready to talk to me.
