hello hello! sorry this update has taken so long, been busy with some behind-the-scenes stuff. today, i bring a major kitting overhaul, with the following changes:
1. based on major interest in the IC form, i have added an asthan-alpha base kit.
2. i have split out some of the mini bars from the base kits into their own dedicated spacebars kit, which allows for some more bars (2x1.5, 2x1.25) to be added. in addition, because there are fewer keys in the base kit, I have added a 1u shift and 1.75u enter to base.
3. i added non-homing f/j/5. their disinclusion was pretty much oversight on my part, lol
3. i have added the ASTHAN ARTIFACTS kit, complete with several icons in the asthan universe :)
as always, feedback is always appreciated, please let me know of any thoughts you have on this new kitting!! i have updated the ic form with some questions about the updated kitting, if there is vocal interest in any other updates i will for sure see how i can accomodate.
for those who want to know a bit more on why i made these choices, you can read on:
More
* i have opted not to include a latin-only alpha base kit because i dont feel it gets the point of "astha" across enough, and the language is one of the main things i would like to push in this set. also, the asthan-only alphas serve a sort of double purpose, in that they are agnostic and quite frankly have little connections to an actual language that they are able to cover international layouts and alternative (dvorak, colemak) layouts.
* while there were some vocal requests for more dedicated support for 40s, i have opted not to split out mods to give for a broader support for 40s simply because of how agnostic the current modifier legends are. the novelties kit should also hopefully add enough agnostic 1u, 1.25, and 1.5u keys to support ortho/more unique layouts. i do really love 40s and daily smolboards, but i hope that the agnostic nature of the legends and colors allow for people to fill up the mods with what they'd like, and with their own color combo at that!
thanks again for all the support, more soon ;)
