Hi, we are Sayantan and Mechanix. We are two childhood friends with a deep bonding over games and anime. The fusion of these two and our love for art gave rise to this set.                                                       
It took us months to develop this from an basic idea to what it is right now. This set represents all the things we loved through our childhood to adulthood.                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
The main inspiration comes from the silenced pistol carried by Agent 01.   

For the sub-legends : What I wanted to achieve was a fusion between 2 things anime and games . The style I went after for is reflected across the entire project(kits, banners, illustrations and deskmats). Also, the sublegends represent the inscriptions that are generally there on the pistol.   
                                                                                                                                                     
We took the color scheme to match the keycaps perfectly. With the modifiers being a deep black blue and the alphas being a very light gray we wanted to portray the different shades of colors that would be visible in the pistol.
The silver blue gray accents are also based on how light would shine of the edge of an object.                                                               
                                                                                                       
What we aimed to create was a unique take on some really good colors and take it an extra mile. We really hope you like what you see. Please leave us your valuable feedback in the IC form. Thanks for reading!               






The following kits are proposed for the set.

There are multiple reasons actually.
I dont want to face any IP issues so I designed my character around it.
Also, the hiragana to me and my design thoughts represent the inscriptions is a pistol. :)
I have mentioned all of these reasons in the "Introduction" part (if you click "More" at the beginning).

Looks great. Good luck with the IC!

I would suggest to use the full introduction image for the second deskmat instead of a part of it and the rest black, I love the colors on that illustration.

Nice color way, I think it will be way better with only latin alphas. I read the design inspiration and it has nothing to do with sublegends imo.

Your novelties won't work like that for a GMK set. They are way too detailed.

GMK has a limit of a 0.25mm line width for all legends.

I know the restrictions and the novelties were made according to the specs in the GMK website.
I have long chats with GMK Andy regarding this and also showed him the novelties for a review. :)

Its too busy and doesn‘t fit the „agent“ or „hitman“ theme.

Both kits looks so good, but i think making 2 hiraganas aside would be better also for numpad so if you want to buy both color that would be better (just giving my opinion)
Anyways it looks lovely will try to get one of these !

Love to see the countless excuses for why so many non-Japanese themed sets throw hiragana sub legends on 🤦.  Good colorway otherwise.  Just don't have hiragana sub legends on there by default.  It makes no sense.

We are not making any excuses for our design choice. I have explained how we wanted to create a fusion between anime and games in the introduction section.
In any case, we would not force out design concepts/ choices upon anyone. We have received quite a good number of feedbacks regarding this. I will be putting up a poll soon regarding the  removal of the sub-legends. We will decide from there.

Again, I would love to get more support from this community and deliver an epic set and am willing to make major changes to the kits in the future. So, make sure to leave your feedback in the IC form and also on the (future) poll. Thank you! :)

We have had fabulous response for the GMK AGENT 01 keyset. There were however, some doubts about why Hiragana was used as sub-legends. Although, we explained our views, we do not want to force our ideas / thoughts on people who will be spending their money to make this set come true.

So, we are starting a new poll to confirm what the community wants in terms of kits as well as deskmats. So please fill up the short IC form. We value your feedback a lot.

Responded to the IC! First thread that I had to comment on, the colors are just that good. Only downside I could see would be the long wait time with GMK and ABS being a material I dislike, but I'll still join in on this if it runs.

I love the colours (more than I thought I would) but as someone who does not speak or type japanese, I will never buy a set with hiragana sublegends. Have answered the IC, very cool that you even considered asking for input!

I'd say that it's definitely a good idea to split hiragana subs off into a child kit. Although, if I were you, I'd drop them entirely, or replace them with Cangjie or Zhuyin sublegends.

I've been playing Hitman games my whole life, and throughout all of the old-school games, Agent 47 has had a much stronger association with China / Hong Kong than to Japan. It's only really in the Hokkaido mission in the 2016 game, and a short sequence in Silent Assassin, that he's had any ties with Japan or that the game's plot took place in Japan. On the other hand, the Hong Kong missions in Codename 47 and Contracts are some of the most memorable for a lot of long-time Hitman players (and definitely some of the most atmospheric). They also played into the series' lore a whole lot. The artwork in the OP instantly reminded me of those missions, despite the anatopistic Japanese lettering. Even the ending cinematic of Blood Money (objectively the best Hitman game *wink*) shows Agent 47 entering a brothel parlor behind a red curtain somewhere in China.

So, either Zhuyin/Cangjie, or no sublegends at all, is the way to go in my opinion. :)

Love the colors and theme here, but would also prefer latin alphas without sublegends

IC form filled out. Hoping the original "the ghost" desk mat makes the cut.

The response from the community was huge. You asked for changes and we are currently working hard to implement them!
A huge update, all new renders and color matched RAL codes coming in a few days.
Once the update hits, I will provide a changelog for people to follow and not lose track.

Thanks for all the support! Cheers! :thumb:

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

After listening to the community feedback and talking with a lot of designers and vendors we tried to implement all the changes that were asked of us.

Shadow kit dropped since this is our very first GB. Hope to run it in the future!!!
Base kit changed to Latin alphas.
Hiragana alphas added ( This along with base should support two complete keyboard layouts)
Hiragana now is complete and correct with quaternary legends.
40s kit removed (Sorry)
Red accent kit merged with Novelty kits and Spacebar kits
Novelty kit revamped. 3 colors and a sexy new ISO enter novelty.

New deskmat iteration of "THE GHOST" added.

All new renders!!!

Vendors announced (Check the awesome map!)
We will go into GB probably middle or late January 2021.

We appreciate all the feedback. There is a new IC form. Please help us by filling it up! Thanks for everything!
