ABOUT

(https://i.imgur.com/nkUMKQ0.png)


Taho is a Filipino sweet treat (originated in China) (https://pepper.ph/history-taho/) consisting of silken tofu, simple syrup, and tapioca pearls.
It is also known as "sweet tofu pudding" in most Southeast Asian countries.

"This staple comfort food is a signature sweet and taho peddlers can be found all over the country.
The Indonesian and Thai equivalent of this snack is Tauhue, and the Malaysian equivalent of this snack is called Taufufah."

(https://i.imgur.com/IQP5QY9.png)


Early in the morning or sometime in the late afternoon, you’ll see a man wearing slippers, banig hat, and sometimes denim pants, yelling “TAHO! TA-HO! TAHOOOOOOO!”
That is time to grab some money and run outside to catch the Taho vendor.

(https://i.imgur.com/o1b3YmU.png)

In some parts of the Philippines (mostly north) they do have flavored TAHO; Strawberry and "Ube". (Ube is a purple yam)

(https://i.imgur.com/O0lbSns.png)

Taho vendors are most likely to walk around city-to-city carrying their taho equipment.
Nowadays, Taho vendors and other street food vendors are now very rare to be seen on the street due to quarantine. :(
Taho vendors are really the best example of Filipino resiliency, and this made me inspired to make this keyset.  :D

Hello again, brother! Haha. GMK has a bunch of awesome keycap designs and for me, it's very hard to conceptualize on colors so I really have to dibs a colorway asap :( Awwww, Thank you soooo much! Also, updated the novelty render!

Some of your novelties are very detailed and I’m pretty sure GMK can’t produce some of the thin lines and the very small gaps, so I’d take a look at that.

You can’t own colors, so posting ic's just to “call dibs” on a colorway seems a bit selfish imo, not letting the other designers run their idea/concept just because another designer posted an ic of a set that’s not gonna happen in +1 year, just my opinion.
You also broke the rule #1 of the Keycap Designes Discord heh (Don’t credit the server but the people that helped you from the server)

One more thing, this is basically GMK Bread  :thumb:

Post by: dandruff on Fri, 05 March 2021, 07:28:53
I'm completely on board with the idea that people can have multiple ICs at once as long as the previous ones are fully fleshed out, but you're literally at like 1 IC per month now without a single set ever having been in GB.

-In this IC alone, your 40s kit could use a ruler and the enter legends look wrong.
-Your Alt Alphas kit is titled Latin Alphas.
-And why is your accent kit so unorganized?

For Earthtones and Benjamin, you decided that your kit with sublegends (Baybayin) would have an extra B, but none of your alt alphas have the extra B.
Also, there have been some streams that looked at your Benjamin set, and the colors you picked are completely off.

Some of these are small changes but it just shows that it was a bit rushed or not proofread.

And maybe this is just me... but posting a set to call "dibs" on color is terrible reasoning.

Thank you so much guys for the feedback!

Hello Brothers, I think I misinterpreted something. What I mean is I'm having a hard time choosing the best color way for my set because most of the active keysets already have the color ways I want. This is what also happened to my 2nd set GMK Benjamins. GMK Hunt and my set GMK Benjamins posted our IC on the same day and we almost had the same color way. People from discord told me to post my keyset as soon as I can so I will know which keyset has the same color with mine. I'm so sorry for the confusion. Thank you so much for raising me this!

There was no confusion. You literally just doubled down and said the only reason you posted benjamin was to call dibs on the colors before GMK Hunt could post.

Ohh, no brother. GMK Hunt and GMK Benjamins was posted at the same time :( GMK Hunt was the first one to post his IC and I posted GMK Benjamins with a couple of minutes interval. I really appreciate you all guys for correcting me! Thank you so much for that brothers. Before I post here on geekhack, I do seek feedbacks first on Keycap Designers discord server so I have udeas if I could run the set or not. If there's anything wrong, please I would love to know what should I do? Thank you so much!

This will definitely be an instabuy after earth tones, its not even halfway through 2021 but I'm already broke because of the upcoming keycaps from you. Baybayin kit would be a nice addition and some artisan keycaps as well. I hope there would be an artisan keycap representing the metal bin they use to store the soy.

You should look into making designs for switches as well. The colors you choose for the caps would look nice on switches as well.  Good luck kabayan!

It seems that calling dibs on colourway is selfish but if you post an IC with very similar colours to earlier posted IC by someone else, people are just gonna comment other sets IC. People treat that IC as a copy. There is no win-win situation here

I could care less about the 3 ic’s, idk where I sounded offended but ok bud. Just the way he made it seem like he wants to dibs on colorways just so that other designers can’t run a similar set. Ig I’ll post 10 ics later and call dibs on 10 different colorways.

I'm not sure how you're involved here, or your standing to comment, but sGhost renders sets for a lot of designers (including myself for GMK Red Alert). Take a look at the last three GMK Red Alert renders posted to my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/break.mk/) to catch an idea of his attention to detail.

I trust him to have a good eye for missed details. zionsped would do well to listen to his advice.

Relax Zionsped, you're running 3 ICs at the same time. About the set, any chances that TAHO equipement enter novelty available also in black, your novelties kit reminds me of my childhood....

Hello again, brother! Haha. GMK has a bunch of awesome keycap designs and for me, it's very hard to conceptualize on colors so I really have to dibs a colorway asap :( Awwww, Thank you soooo much! Also, updated the novelty render!

Some of your novelties are very detailed and I’m pretty sure GMK can’t produce some of the thin lines and the very small gaps, so I’d take a look at that.

You can’t own colors, so posting ic's just to “call dibs” on a colorway seems a bit selfish imo, not letting the other designers run their idea/concept just because another designer posted an ic of a set that’s not gonna happen in +1 year, just my opinion.
You also broke the rule #1 of the Keycap Designes Discord heh (Don’t credit the server but the people that helped you from the server)

One more thing, this is basically GMK Bread  :thumb:


The guy posted 3 ICs i don't get what why you are so offended. :rolleyes:  you're making it seem like he's a bad guy. for what ? 3 ICs all original designs ? there are no set rules on designers trying to create GMK sets if there is then show them to the designer

I could care less about the 3 ic’s, idk where I sounded offended but ok bud. Just the way he made it seem like he wants to dibs on colorways just so that other designers can’t run a similar set. Ig I’ll post 10 ics later and call dibs on 10 different colorways.
The way this community treats people with slightly similar colorway push designers to dib it so they don't have to deal with "Did you ask X, Y, Z for permission? , etc". Also, ZionSped surely put a lot of effort in ICs, just look at how he handle requests in GMK Earth tones. These are his original ideas and the designs are well made thought. Although there are still some kitting errors but that's why we have ICs for feedback. You're welcome to post 10 ICs to dibs 10 colorways but make sure your 10 ICs are well built (original designs, novelties, etc).

I agree that this kit need to be better-organized along with a fews kitting errors that need fixing (no second b in Arnibal kit).

No comment on the debacle with calling dibs or anything, but this is as much GMK bread as GMK Ursa and GMK Cafe are the 'same' (to be clear, I don't think they're the same)... totally doesn't make sense to me for someone to point this out. You get some shade of brown with some lighter shade of alphas. There are only so many combinations that people can pick colors that work well together, and it's no surprise that most are just different shades of the same hues - which is why it is all the more impressive when a set comes along that has unexpected, but pleasant combinations of colors. If we went by this logic, I'm sure it could be stretched to say that a very good number of keycap sets are just existing cap sets.

Hey, I think it's time wrap this thing up.

To sGhost & Dandruff, Thank you so much for the creative critiques! I'm actually jotting down notes on everything you all said that could improve my keyset. I won't push my GMK Benjamins due to color issue and the color usage of the currency as well. Thank you for the heads up on this. I really do appreciate it!

To break, Yes I agree! sGhost have a really good eye on every kitting details. Thank you so much!

To nvh2092, Thank you so much for appreciating my artworks! Also, this is really how I translate my artworks in keycaps as my design language and as a photographer too. I'm not an expert on kitting this is why I seek feedbacks on my kitting. Thank you so much again, brother!

To RUN_GMSEE, thank you so much for trusting me and my designs since Day 1!

I know and I'm aware I used the term "dibs" because of these:

- I posted  (https://imgur.com/6Q4K1Er)GMK Taho on a local Facebook group here in the Philippines last March 3, 2021at 5:36 PM (GMT+8) as a floating concept of mine and to gather feedback/s as well, and the post blew up! (I took this screenshot last March 4, 2021 8:00 PM (GMT+8))

- A non local group on Facebook that clones GMK sets <url snipped> saw my concept of the GMK Taho and they already have a copy of the image <url snipped> I posted even tho it's just a plain basekit render. (I didn't even added RAL/PANTONE or any color codes on my facebook group post, just a straight base kit and board render.) This is also sad that people are also requesting to clone the set that they want to :(

- A bunch of people sliding through my dms on Facebook, Discord, and Instagram with a screenshot on what's happening to the said Facebook group telling me "Hey, your design might be cloned soon!". This made me alarmed AF, because I know they can produce the cloned keycap as soon as they want to. This made me think if I should post an IC on Geekhack so people would know who's the original designer behind the cloned keycap if it rolled out on the mech market. This alarmed me much that if they produced the keycap I designed before I put GMK Taho on IC, that could lead and letting people assume that my design is not original and based on the said company.

I hope this explain a lot and I want to let you all know that there are bunch of companies who copy/clone GMK sets privately.

Thank you sooo much!

This will definitely be an instabuy after earth tones, its not even halfway through 2021 but I'm already broke because of the upcoming keycaps from you. Baybayin kit would be a nice addition and some artisan keycaps as well. I hope there would be an artisan keycap representing the metal bin they use to store the soy.

You should look into making designs for switches as well. The colors you choose for the caps would look nice on switches as well.  Good luck kabayan!

Fantastic colors. As a recent fan of this color way, I'm in.

Thank you sooooo much!  :thumb:

would be good to have renders that show the full keyboard more or less straight on instead of at an angle, don't know why but only having angled renders kinda throws me off

Oh, good point! Noted on this one brother! I'll update my post after I do some of the renders.

Great colors, I’m in!

Thank you sooo much!  ;)

Thank you so much brother for the kitting advice! Really! Words can't explain how thankful I am man.  :)

I keep coming back to this post because it makes me nostalgic for all the Asian dessert cafés I haven't been to in a year.

This made me nostalgic too! I have some flashbacks of my childhood while doing this keyset! :p

I give my filipino stamp of approval  :thumb:

Thank you so much, Kabayan! Mabuhay po kayo!

I mean it does look the same. Never saw anything wrong with what sGhost said. The gap between the mod colors are just 7, by the way. RAL 8001 and RAL 8008. Taho's alphas colors are just lighter as well.

The funny thing about that thread is that you're looking a little bit triggered and defensive about the whole ordeal.  :)) You sure you're just someone who's interested in the set, bud?

Its not a big deal that someone runs 3 ICs at the same time. Its that rushing ICs, with none being set in motion just yet, feels a bit reckless to me as a consumer. Just like how someone on this thread has pointed out some issues that if rushed, could lead to errors and affect not only consumers but vendors as well :(

I don't agree with the calling in dibs for colorways. I would prefer an interest check that's fully fleshed out, and looked into by someone who isn't juggling multiple ICs at once.


I dont have anything to input for this particular IC but you could at least please blur the names of that Facebook screenshot which you shared. Thank you!

Agree with this. Doxxing is no fun. :)

Are you implying that I can't comment if I am not involved in the design ?

I'm pointing out that sGhost has worked on a number of sets, has a great eye for detail, and is worth listening to as a result of these facts.

I'm also confused by your defensiveness in response to his feedback, which is well-intentioned and constructive, and can help the set's success. If you were invested in the success of GMK Taho, you would want someone like him to share feedback and help improve the resulting product. But instead you're pushing back on it. I'm not sure why, so I questioned your relationship here.

After seeing more comments here, I seem to be justified - you're not contributing much to this IC beyond argumentativeness.

The gap between the mod colors are just 7, by the way. RAL 8001 and RAL 8008. Taho's alphas colors are just lighter as well.

For others following along, RAL's classic colors do not work the same way as RAL's design colors. The first digit of a K7 color do indicate a system code (eg. "8" is brown) but the last three numbers are simply sequential. Compare RAL 1011 for RAL 1013 for an example of two closely-numbered colors that differ significantly.

This differs from RAL D2, where the first triple indicates hue, and the last pair of doubles indicates chroma.

Love the tones on this. I'm actually hoping this would go on GB soon ;)

I also agree with the others - the feedback is very valuable to make this kit successful.

I would 100% buy this! I really want those Baybayin keycaps. And also love that this is Geekark instead of the other producers with crazy lead times right now.
My favorite color variant is the Arnibal. I'm not sure the accent colors work, but if it reaches MOQ, that's great.

Whether or not this reaches group buy stage, can we please have that Mang Felix deskmat, though? It's absolutely gorgeous.

Really like the set !! Did you think about going with another manu? GA have been having a lot of issues from crooked stems to warped space bars to smudges.
good work!
Title: Re: [IC] Geekark TAHO | Deskmat Collab
Post by: napostrophe on Wed, 16 February 2022, 22:57:28
If there are still any intentions of running this set, I strongly request that Geekark be dropped as the manufacturer. Bunch of quality concerns are coming from other GBs like WoB involving smudging and legend fading, really bad warping, and cracked stems. Take this with a massive grain of salt, but it's possible Geekark may even be falsely advertising pad printing as dye-sub. It's absolutely abysmal.

I'd love to see this make it to GB, but with all of the issues with Geekark, it'll be hard pass from many people, myself included, if the manu doesn't change.
