[IC] GMK Metaverse - GB Launching 07/16/18!!!

[Dead Encryption]

Welcome. I am delighted to make your acquaintance.



This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter.
It is a room that only those who are bound by a "contract" may enter.

I am Igor, the master of this place. Remember it well.

I have summoned you to speak of important matters.
It involves your life as well.

Now then, it seems the night is waning... It is almost time.

I am thou, thou art I...

.................

Yo, Yo, Yo! Ummm...Hello? it's me... We don't have much time here so I will make this quick! The phantom thieves need your help! Everyone's health on Joker's team is really low and now we've got to go back them up! While I'm helping them, I need you to cover for me. In order to help us out, I have sent the "Metaverse" keyset for you to use!

I'm going to wrap up here and start heading out. This set is GOD TIER! So please take care of it!

OH! and before I forget, here are some renders of the set on a few of my boards!
GOOD LUCK!

Please note that these renders below are of the old bottom row.
The updated renders with the win voted bottom row are on the next post with the updates!

Update: (07/07/2018) - Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed the holiday! I am coming back to announce that we will be starting the GB for GMK Metaverse Mid July - The dates planned so far are to start on 07/16/18!!!!!!! HYPE!!!!!!  I will be creating a new GB post here and on other forums as well. Please make sure to join the discord linked above for all news and to speak with me about any questions you have as well!


Update: (06/18/2018) - Hello everyone! I am excited to announce yet another amazing collaboration we will have for the GB of GMK Metaverse!  Ramaworks is going to be offering exclusive designed artisans for Metaverse! For more details and images please check out their project page here:

https://rama.works/projectupdates/2018/6/18/rama-x-metaverse



Update: (06/14/2018) - Hello again! So we got updated renders back from GMK, but there were still some issues with the novelties that I needed to be changed. Want to make sure they are on point. So, we have sent back feedback and requested the changes to GMK. Once we get them back and I am fine with how they look, we will request pricing and finalize the kits. Hope everyone has a great weekend!


Update: (05/28/2018) - Greetings everyone! Just wanted to let you know at this point we are just waiting on GMK to get back to us about kit pricing etc. From what I understand the main point of contact is on Vacation right now and will not be back until 6/4/18. Once he returns, I am hoping we get our feedback / pricing and renders from GMK to confirm we have everything in order. After we sort all that fun stuff out, we will be announcing the GB dates!


Update: (05/17/2018) - An exciting announcement for the future GB! After collaboration with some amazing artists, we are proud to announce that the first 50 orders (limted per person) will receive one of these 3 beautiful slaps (stickers) with their purchase!
Here are links to their websites. Make sure to check them out and give a shoutout!

Update: (04/24/2018) - Just some fresh renders of the beautiful M60-Moon with Metaverse Grey Kit options...a thing of beauty!






Update: (04/22/2018) - Hello again everyone! I am so happy to update that based on the vote and other requests / input I have received from you that we now have a finalized base kit and even updated some of our other kits like the "Grey" kit and "Spacebar" kit to include a 6u offset spacebar. The kits have been updated on the original / top post above.

Now, for a nice treat...thanks and a big shoutout to Janglad for letting us use his beautiful M0110 models. Also keep an eye out, I have so many other surprise announcements and hopeful collaborations coming in the next few weeks. Have a good rest of the weekend! 






Update: (04/18/2018) - Again So, this is my original idea of how I wanted to run the icon mods / set. Please let me know what you think. I think I will be happy either with this image posted below's style or the first renders I made with the icon bottom row. Please make sure to vote and let your decision be heard so we can move forward.

Thanks again.
Form and image below:

Vote ended with "Original Concept" Winning






Update: (04/18/2018) I have updated the renders above to reflect the updated Grey (Shadow) Kit based on recommendations and also updated the Persona Kit (Novelties)...check out the newest additions 

Update: (04/17/2018) Ohhhhh....when you wish that M10-B was in your hands....I am working on getting the two set renders but it may take a little more time due to having to pay the bills with my other company. I am so inspired by all of your feedback and support! I can't wait to share more images and ideas with all of you!

[Oscar2177]

Amazing, I'm in for the Group buy

[SolidCactus]

A very nice suprise for sure! I'm in for the base and shadow kit!

[megaforce]

god bless

[InvidiousIgnoramus]

Never played Persona, but I'm in, methinks.

[megaforce]

This is an amazing set. This is how you do a IC. Not ****ty KLE screenshots, but full blown GMK + board renders.

CP instead of WS1 please. WS1 is way to bright.

Full on shadow alphas would be dope af, but probably too expensive for most to swallow.

Very impressive set. It's gotten me all giddy.

[frostbyte-gaming]

Definitely digging this set not a huge fan of icon bottom row would love to see text bottom row but I'm okay either way.

[SolidCactus]

Please keep the WS1! I love the bright look to complement the other keys

[dead_pixel_design]

Like the colorway; cannot stand the hyperbolic, mellow-dramatic presentation. Definitely interested in the set

[xondat]

This is an amazing set. This is how you do a IC. Not ****ty KLE screenshots, but full blown GMK + board renders.

Not too interested in the set, but agree with this

[KaosJ]

Wow the grey version looks very good  

 

I would be totally in if the grey would become the base and the red would be extras

[Kafka]

Same, dope ic

[wangledorf]

Unfortunately I'd only be in if there was an Ergodox kit. This is an awesome design regardless!

[zekkin]

Wow, really nice concept, love the colors, love Persona. The only gripe I have is with the bottom row icon modifiers, it could be just me, but they are really ugly.

You have a buyer in me with bottom row text mods!

edit: also...about that caps lock icon...you know that's not a GMK icon, right?

[donutcat]

Some of the icons had to be approximated since they're not widely available for render usage.

[kekstee]

I think WS1 came out much whiter than the renders make it look.

[megaforce]

It does:

Zfrontier GMK Cyan uses WS1.

My exact thoughts!

[Rob27shred]

This is just awesome, I really like pretty everything about this set! Both the red/black & grey setups look lovely, the compatibility looks good, can't see no reason other than my financials at the time if this runs as to why I would not buy one of these sets. Great work & hopefully you can get this to GB, GL with it Dead Encryption!

[Colourr]

I'd love a set of this.

[Chromatrope]

jesus christ now that's how you start a thread. I've never wanted to play Persona but now I do. Of all the hiragana hype driven sets recently, this is by far the best.

Going to update the renders with brighter lighting / adjust shadows to reflect the natural colors better. Will update all the images / IC once I'm finished getting them completed.

[MajorKoos]

Yes please.

[The_judge_168]

Looks good! Any chance for Japanese only alphas?

[Choppersuey]

Looks awesome 

[donutcat]

Looks good! Any chance for Japanese only alphas?

Not likely. Getting an extra set of alphas to MOQ isn't feasible for smaller sets.

[Rafa_n]

Love the set. The only thing I would change are the weird apple icon mods.

[sorijealut]

Kind of the same question, but an Alphas-only pack is probably not likely too right?

(Not JP-character only, if someone just wanted the alphas).

[tanvir175]

Can't say I'm a fan of the color of the alphas or the mod legends but, as a fan of Persona, I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

[Chromatrope]

I'll speak up and say I'm one of the few people who likes the bottom row icon mods. It keeps the mods free of computer jargon which keeps the 60% cluster looking more stylised.

[Kevadu]

I didn't even know that I needed this in my life but now I do.

[mago]

Definitely interested in this set

[EightDiagram]

Any room for 6u off-centered spacebar?

[young_won]

I want text modi

[nguyenhimself]

Love it, I guess it's a sort of Honeywell with katakana alphas and icon mods?

Though as a Mac user, I kinda take issue with where you put the ⌥ key, as that is the Mac-equivalent of the Alt key. The symbol itself ⌥ stands for "an alternate route" or "a fork in the road".

Either the diamond symbol ◇ or the control symbol ^ would be a better fit there 🙂

[__foo_]

Yes, finally, a good looking black and red keyset. Please make it happen quick.

[Albatross]

Haven't ever got into Persona and don't care for red at all, but the grey kit with the base is absolutely nuts. Definitely in for those.

[tanvir175]

Yes, finally, a good looking black and red keyset. Please make it happen quick.

I think this would look great with the Black-Red-Black E6-V2 I ordered but I'm just not too into the super white alphas. While I'd prefer them to not be white, a less bright white would be more bearable.

I've been thinking about a nice looking black and red keyset for a while now, since Forge and Led Zeppelin didn't jump out to me, and I've been thinking about relating it to Persona 5 but I just don't have the creative talent/spark.

[itsundone]

diggin into this, but i also think that the white alphas should be less bright
overall great work !!!

[truong3016]

are the japenese sublegend also double shot or pad-printed
not so fond of the icon mod anyway

[yap68]

An outstanding and flexible gmk set in recent months. Classic

[tanvir175]

Double shot

GMK Laser has paved the way for any GMK sets going forward to use it's molds.

[Sissy]

Futaba best girl.
simple set that does its theme well.

I'm going to have trouble forgetting I saw this, but I'm not surprised by it at all.

[bthezebra]

Do want

[zF_ScrambledEggz]

  I am definitely interested in this set!

[Tom_Kazansky]

this is a very well-prepared IC.

even I, someone who has not played Persona, am interested!

NO!

You gotta be kidding me! I have the exact same build coming in (E6-V2 black-red-black) and I was thinking of chucking this set on it as well! And yes, Forge/Demonic and LedZep were a NO from me.

I reckon white alphas should be alright since white color looks good on any sets

[olivia]

I'm so in love, I can even use the alphas to make a jp olivia set 

[LynnDeisky]

nice modified.

I'm totally in.

and please consider yellow on black modifier kit

Great minds think alike
Black and Red is my favorite color scheme/combo so that was a no brainer since I don't think it's offered often.

White does go well with everything but I was really hoping for a set more focused on black/red instead of being majority white. This still looks pretty nice through. There's a pretty high chance I'll get it if the icon mods are changed and the alphas are a slightly darker hue.

I have no problem with icon mods, btw, just not into the ones in the render.

[sevenseacat]

I'll be in for the novelties (love Persona!), but not the main kit, its not to my tastes...

[amnesia0287]

Consider a text bottom row addon

[rmendis]

Yes, please

[audax989]

This is so up my alley. Not long before we see a p4 set come to life? I should be working on SEN

[Sissy]

Persona 4 would be golden/yellows  and Persona 3 would be blues. I do like that all of these games have a somewhat color theme that can be used for a keyset.

[Lotsati]

Whoa :O

I think I may be able to drag some non mech keyboard enthusiasts into this GB. I can see this set being incredibly popular if it get's advertised to other anime/gaming community forums.

[Vadurr]

Definitely interested!

[Out_of_diplomacy]

This is amazing. You stole my heart. Also I suggests to everybody to play the game. Definitely worth your time.

The base set is pretty nice but that shadow set is really neat.  For all the sets with black/grey/white that have existed, I hadn't yet seen one that actually makes me feel like it was lifted straight out of a black and white movie like that.

[Chromatrope]

just noticed an error in the base kit render: it contains two R2 1.5U backslash/mu keys in the alpha colour, instead of one in alpha one in mod colour

[kawasaki161]

Fits with the only fig I have (sakura futaba) so I guess I'll have to get it 

Oh yea pls get a EU proxy for this, thanks.

This is going above and beyond. Never played the game, but you too have inspired me to give it a go.

  if this set does really well, I have plans on several different Shin Megami tensei ideas. And the idea is, all sets that I design in the series would support mix and match compatibility but still retain their own originality. Or if numbers are high enough...you may see some "special" options only available in this GB.

EU proxy for sure since I've got a couple of them in my network, maybe zFrontier for Asia/Oceania proxy as well if they accept.

this is so big I assumed proxy right away lol

In for novelties for sure.

I just recalled a thread where Tomb3ry mentioned that he developed the full icon set including the navigation cluster. So, I suppose that GMK has the full set molds, already.

We're checking with GMK to see if they have any sort of collection of their available icons so that we can see what we have to work with.

As this is an interest check, I'll simply put my vote against this. Icon bottom row + icon nav cluster would guarantee me not participating in this, should it move to GB.

It'd be much more useful to everyone here if you would elaborate why icon nav cluster is such an affront and dealbreaker to you.
I personally don't mind either.

That would be awesome! Dead Encryption, please talk to MiTo and see if you can make that happen (if it suits you, of course, being your project).

[Dead Encryption]

To update everyone, thank you for giving feedback.

As far as the Mods go, my original heavy influence was from GMK Muted, which was a mix of icon and text. So, to keep things a bit more interesting, I'm going to design a couple of renders, one with that original idea / style i had in mind, and another with an icon combination I am happy with as well. Then, I think I will have another google form / vote on what set of mods people like more for Metaverse. If either of those get higher voted, then I will be happy either way.

As far as Mitocons go, the only thing that concerns me is since this isn't some huge Massdrop GB, etc. hitting the MOQ on those. Now, if enough people voted on that, then I could try to reach out to Mito and ask him. Otherwise, I don't want to waste his time, if that makes sense.

With that also in mind, I am trying to make this set unique in its own way and to maintain the "persona" vibe it was originally intended for. If we can make this GB big enough where we can add options for the set, I am all for it, just don't want to make promises to people that we can't hold to.

I will be sure to post some updated renders soon! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I will be sure to post some updated renders soon! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I personally like the idea of a kit that can cover the most common 60% layouts in persona-ish icon mods. Idk what those would be but maybe something like expanding the novelty kit to become a 60% icon kit, similar to what blocknet was for gmk laser.

[wixxzblu]

The gray set is better than i had ever imagined, i give another vote against icon nav cluster. The ones weve seen so far from hyperfuse redux and red honey are so bad it would ruin the whole set on anything bigger than 60%.
I also really like the icon bottom mods, they look very good on blue on black so i guess they are gonna look good on this as well.

[Chimera]

Wow, i've never wanted a set more.

Super in for this

[truong3016]

should have more 1.5 u novelties, maybe change some 1.25u to 1.5u, 4 would be good

[tanvir175]

Idk if it's a render error or just me but those bottom two rows all look like 1.5u.

ah my bad, I think you are right. So we should change some 1.5u to 1.25u instead

Something I just realized: There will be people who buy into this set simply for a GMK black-and-white set with icon mods and katakana alphas, something which doesn't yet exist.

Haha, yes, that is the goal of this set, Multiple Colorway options in it. Black and White - Black, Red, White - Black, Grey, White.

I want you all to be able to enjoy this set and mix it up at the same time. As I said before, I want to create a series of these reflecting the Persona universe, and I wanted compatibility but uniqueness between them all.

I would love to take a vote on this, remember, I'm trying to keep costs at a minimum if we can. If it's not that big of an increase and enough people vote for it, I don't mind adding it to the sets. I just included the 6u center because I have topre boards...haha

[oh_chesteroni]

Really nice set and I can tell a lot of effort has gone into the IC.
I know it's been mentioned a couple times before, but IMO WS1 is too bright and I'd prefer CP. It is your set after all, and your IC, so I will follow it along to see how things go!

GMK has been offering 6u spacebars free with their sets lately to accomodate their new board they are releasing soon. Wouldn't hurt to ask if they could include it with this set.

CP is a nice white but doesn't really fit the theme of this set. I think ws1 perfectly captures that black and white noire film vibe that persona has going on.

Exactly, please keep in mind these colors are for the Art style of the game. I love P5 and it's art style is what has heavily influenced this set and it's theme. I know some are worried about the bright colors, but also keep in mind, it will have black (cr) legends and the contrast should be "Golden" haha  )

That's fair. I see Persona 5 as more of a majority black-red than a majority white with black-red accents but I respect your decision and will support this IC.

I wish I could put some input (but I'm not really the creative type haha) but the main thing I'd like to see improved is the icon mods. I don't mind icon mods at all. I just don't really like the current ones.

Thanks for all of your work into this IC, so far!

So the colors I was basing off of are on the collectors edition of the game. Wish we could have used silver but lol there aren't any keycaps from GMK...but maybe....I can speak to someone who has awesome metallic caps...ahem...

[ideus]

Is any of the renders a GMK made one? I asked because some of the icons and some legends do not match actual Cherry legends, unless there were new molds in the works.

[donutcat]

It's been stated at least once that the renders were our own and that the legends and icons were approximations of GMK's since they're not publicly available, afaik.

[Dead Encryption]

The "Meta" icon will probably be a new mold. Other than that, they should all be the same Icons that muted has. I just made these myself for reference.

We want to finalize exactly what we are aiming for first. Then will request the GMK renders to confirm its good to go and post on here.

We are definitely considering timing for this set as well. I just don't want to delay it too long because of the fear of other sets. I hope any other GB's for caps do well but I'm not really gunning for competition on anyone else if that makes sense. I also have some ideas I want to throw out for more kit options as well. We will just see how the rest of April goes and May does. But I will be giving this set my all 110% and promise I will do everything I can to make it a reality.

Also, sorry no updates happened yesterday as planned. But I am working on posting some new updates today. So be on the lookout!

The gray accent kit doesn't make much sense to me. I like the idea of it but the actual keycap choice seems kind of arbitrary. Alternating light/dark mods is strange.

[portbaron]

So what's the latest word?

[Dead Encryption]

Sorry, we are just waiting on some final adjustments to custom "Persona Keys" and pricing from GMK. Once we get those, I will be posting some more updates. I am also getting a collab announcement for the set as well.

Any chance for a Micons kit?

For this set, I don't think so, maybe on some future sets if I ask for Mito's permission. But I think we are going to stick with the current kit options since this is a much smaller GB than Serika on Massdrop, etc.

This won't be the last set I design and I have some more ideas that I think and hope alot of people will enjoy in the future.

Talking with GMK is, as it is most of the time, a time consuming process partially due to being halfway around the world from them. We're still talking back and forth to get the novelties kit wrapped up before we can get quotes for the entire set, which I'm hoping will happen soon.

Mechboards.co.uk was picked because they have a good track record, and in my experience they're easy to work with and get the job done well. If I knew more about how moving items through the different parts of Europe worked then maybe I would have considered someone else, but only if I felt they would do as good of a job.

[Genuine.Senpai]

How long do they generally take to ship out from the date of paying the invoice?

[tanvir175]

How long do they generally take to ship out from the date of paying the invoice?

Right now, they're still sorting out invoices. Some people haven't paid it.

After they make the payment to GMK, it'll be around 4 months to produce the keycaps, maybe less since there aren't custom colors. Then you'll have to wait for the keycaps to be shipping to the vendors, QC'd, and then shipped to you.
