[IC] GMK Abyssal

[Lenux]

i'm in !

[Xanira]

really love the blue and black of the novelties, that lighting render is insanely cool too! GLWIC!!

Tysm <3 the progress atm is kinda slow due to school and Christmas stuff but I'll make sure to get stuff done, I have a cable collab coming up that I've been holding off until now.

That nemui render looks cold. The nemui board on IC rn doesn't have that glow blue blocker, was that from the last private runs?

Oh I'm sorry for the confusion I just thought it looked good but it's just light bouncing off of the reflective badge on nemui.

i'm in !

Count me in!  Looks great!

[AshF]

I'm in - looks really nice. Will the international kit be offered?

[kight]

Totally think you should include a text novelty for Enter that says Deploy

<3 ill look into that, iso is available in the base kit but i would definitely look into it.

ohmygod yes xD ill work some more on everythign when i find some time for it

[krzank]

Nice kit, I mean: dark alphas with dark mods.
But I can't find keys that should land in R3 next to the ISO Return key and in R4 next to the 1.25U Shift key.
Please consider adding some ISO support, for example: R3:Tilde/GraveAccent/ろ and R4:Pipe/Backslash/む  <- OK, this is exotic but would work nicely on 60% ISO.

ill make sure to get that fixed as soon as i find some time for it. thank you for noticing me

[magoclown]

I'm in for these keycaps, I'll be waiting.

The alternate alpha's are amazing, the blue seems to pop out of the black. Great color choice!

[Xanira]

Thank you so much <3 I thought it really made the Blue stand out as well 

[I.Hiyori]

Cool set, really like the color matching. Was wondering if you would consider offering alphas without the hiragana?

Thank you so much <3 I had a few forms up where Latin only alphas were an option but ended up not doing anything about it as sub legends had about 70% of the votes, I'll look into it again though as the set has come a long way so stay up to date for new forms or join the discord server if that's more your thing

[acknun]

Set looks cool. Not familiar with the character that this is based on. But I like the color scheme a lot. Will there be a possible offering without the hiragana on the alphas?

Ty <3 I see a fair bit of interest in mono Latin alphas so I'll look into it again, I initially had a form where sub legends won with about 70% of votes but not sure what the interest is now so there will be new forms up fairly soon

[Terror]

Is there a chance for num pad to be seperate from the base kit?

[Xanira]

Is there a chance for num pad to be seperate from the base kit?

I have definitely considered it, ill put up another form for it and see if people are interested or not

[NoxNoxNox]

Please consider putting mod tilde in the basekit.  Its used for split-backspce/tsangan layouts quite a bit for symmetry.

[Xanira]

noted and fixed  ty for the notice 

[phoenixrage]

I prefer the dark alphas, any chance for at least a numpad-less dark base kit?

[Xanira]

I prefer the dark alphas, any chance for at least a numpad-less dark base kit?

as it stands right now the vote for a TKL base kit far outweighs the one with numpad, so TKL base kit seems to be guaranteed which will make the base kit cheaper if thats the issue, but im afraid that if i make two base kits both of them probably arent guaranteed to hit moq. when i figure out vendors ill try to get their two cents on it and see if they think its a valid option 

[Ooga Booga]

is it confirmed already no latin alphas?

[Xanira]

is it confirmed already no latin alphas?

Based on how the forms i put up went, yea, but ill ask vendors if they think doing latin alphas will be a possibility.
Just for some closure, i would love to include latin alphas but the chance of them hitting moq would be super low and with dark alphas also being an option  having to include 3 different alternative alphas kits would be really difficult if all of them had to hit moq.

[Xanira]

I decided that the kit renders just weren't good enough, so i cut down on cost some places and added some cinematic angles

[alan1216221973]

are there any updates on this set? or did it already went live

[Xanira]

it has not went live yet! ive been struggling finding vendors for a long time but it seems like i might have a chance to run it with a US vendor next year, i wont confirm anything yet, but its slowly getting there

[alan1216221973]

awsome, i will definitely buy a set

[shawnlin]

Love the dark alpha. Any possibility to make it into a separate base kit? And ofc, I don't think the hiragana sub makes sense here..

Ive considered it, and will consider it, but I do feel that it will be difficult to meet moq with 2 base kits.
For the hiragana I feel that it's appropriate as the global release of the game is 100% in Japanese so the version of the game most people know is in Japanese. I understand your point but I decided this because of the game content and not based on where the company is located. Thank you for your critique though

[Serval]

Looking forward to this!

[Xanira]

Looking forward to this!

[Revy]

I'm not sure if anyone else thought of this but have you considered to add-on white mods to contrast with dark alphas?

Definitely a set that I will be purchasing if this goes live! I'd also prefer having a latin option if possible but you know it is what it is, I'm okay with both either way!

GLWIC and hope it becomes a success

thank you very much for the kind words <3
as for the lighter mod colors i hesitate to make this an option as it might not make moq as well as reversed alphas/mods generally being a less popular option. same thing goes for the latin only option.

any updates on this?

[Xanira]

any updates on this?

I'm hoping for more input from the main US vendor as the new year starts. I haven't heard from them in quite a while, but my impression was that the set would be able to run early 2022.

I'll see what I can make out of the source material, but some of the novelties are already borderline ip, so there might end up being fewer novelties. and thank you so much, the support is appreciated❤️😊

Ngl I have no idea what makes it UK specific so any help would be appreciated

weeb flavored olivetti. Interesting. I like the colorway, but I'd love to see a vendor with a decent wait.

im not sure what you mean by "decent wait"

[DirtyGingy]

As of march this year the GMK queue was 170 sets and their average completion rate was 2-4 sets a month. At the optimal 4 sets a month, this puts the wait at 3.5 years. But, hopefully they finally get the second production line running.

I'm fine with waiting a year. Tooling, color matching, samples, shipping, logistics, and other related preproduction is a several month process after all. But going beyond 1-1.5 years is quite literally the sales management team exceeding their current production capabilities. I'd rather just see more sets with other manufacturers at this point is all.

I guess, for me, GMK has just become the "Maybe when it hits extras and I still care in a couple years" manufacturer.
