Looks sweet! :) I'd love a planck kit, as well as european kit / one kit for each country! Check out granite; it managed the child deals extremely well! :)
Really like it. The colorway is pretty gorgeous, although the lavender could be used a bit more. Two small things, there should be a Blue/green escape key, and mono legend arrow keys.
This looks great, my only issue personally is I'm not a huge fan of the font on the caps.
I think it looks great.

The font is for representative (?) purposes only, and will more closely resemble say the recent Modern Selectric set (http://pimpmykeyboard.com/sa-modern-selectric-keyset/ (http://pimpmykeyboard.com/sa-modern-selectric-keyset/))
Do you have another font in mind?
Here's how granite did it; you'd need an ISO enter + shift as well!Looks sweet! :) I'd love a planck kit, as well as european kit / one kit for each country! Check out granite; it managed the child deals extremely well! :)
Thanks! I've added a Planck/Atomic kit. The internationals however may take some time as I'll need to manually find/configure all the varying characters, you wouldn't happen to have a template anywhere would you? :)

This would cover a majority of european users! :) If you search up mito DSA Sci-Fi you can see that he had a specific deal for each country; your choice how you want to keep it! :)
It's a happiness it'd be SA
Nope. The height of R1 and the profile overall lend itself to easily introducing lateral force on the switch and increasing friction. Unless you adapt to the profile for the aesthetic appeal (it is very striking), I personally haven't found an SA set that I enjoy using.It's a happiness it'd be SA
Fixed that for you.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this set. It looks good so far, but I have to say I would love to see a 'SMAAAASH!' key as a replacement for enter or something (perhaps in the novelty kit).

I'll be passing on this since it's all Row 3 SA ( :( ), but I love the inspiration. :thumb: The resulting set ends up looking a bit like Calm Depths meets HyperFuse, which is nice, though I'd probably change the color of the mod legends as they seem to stand out a bit too much in my opinion. The alphas have complementary blues while the mods have contrasting purple/beige. Just my 2 cents though. :)

Would it make any difference if it was varying profile SA? :P
I've made a little 'contrast' comparison (see below), don't think I can make it 'darker' without it looking somewhat 'dirty':Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/SnvJxHY.png)

Yes it would. :D I wouldn't mind another sculpted SA set, but all row 3 just wasn't for me.
The more I look at it, the more the current mod colors grow on me. So maybe it isn't as big of a deal as I originally made out. But I am curious why you went with the beige to begin with? I don't see that color theme in the original inspiration picture, so I'm just curious. :) That said, pulling more colors from the original picture, have you tried a color similar to the "cliff" colors as the base for the mods? Seems to be a more neutral tone to me. Though at that point the set is largely blue/grey, which is both a little less exciting and more like Calm Depths, which I don't think is the right choice. Hmm. (pardon my rambling :)) )

It's beautiful but, and this is my fault, 'SMAAAASH!!' should have two exclamation points.
I seriously can't wait to see how this turns out - Earthbound is just an amazing game and I loved it when I was younger.

As someone who would actually buy an international kit, I would dramatically prefer separate deals for each country. I know its not always feasible because of concerns around demand, but it's a lot more expensive to have to buy a whole kit with a lot of keys I'm not going to use.
I'd like to see the novelties also in the modifier bottom row personally.
I'd be all about this! I'm a huge EB fan. I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on this.
Here's something I made a few months ago when I was bored.

non related- is this from the game "to the moon"?
btw the set looks great.
this
this could be REALLY dope
I haven't purchased anything besides a Cherry or OEM profile set in forever. If this moves forward it will be my first SA set.
I would love this set especiallly in all row 3
Huge Earthbound fan, this set is great. I love the novelties set. So many awesome sets in this forum.
The novelties kit look really good. Can you separate the image when I click on the image it just make it even smaller.

It's EarthBound (Mother 2 in Japan).
Just noticed this. The colors are great . But there's too many keysets on the horizon....!
I need more keyboards to put these on. And a bigger wallet.
I like, I like it a lot. Nice colours ^:)
I'm not sure what all font options are available but it might be cool exploring the one the text in the game was. I am not a 100% it would look good until it was on some renders.

Cool idea, and maybe someone can elaborate on this but I think we are limited to a very small subset of fonts, at least with the SA profile manufactured by SP (PMK).

Unless you want to pay for custom molds for a new font then you will be very limited when it comes to options sadly. Unless you choose to dye-sub but I highly doubt that's what you're going for.

No problem, I'd definitely go with double shot as well. People aren't too big of a fan of dye sub since they don't last as long. Any chance of getting a render done for the set, that usually reels in a bigger crowd?

I'm in Australia and the render options (that I have found) are 50 USD, so without sounding like a tigha$$, 80 AUD for a render is steep for me at this stage, I've spent a mint this month :(
If I wasn't being spammed myself I'd knockup some roughish renders but they wouldn't be anywhere close to what the gurus produce here.

Wow I always forgot about the insane currency jump from USB to AUD. I wish I could help as well, I never really got into rendering. I've been blowing up my wallet as well the past few weeks and even have more to spend in the upcoming week.
Glad to see this IC is still in motion, keep up the good work. :thumb:
Looks like a pretty awesome set. I'd like to see the legend color and cap color reversed though, I think the lighter blue/green with the darker font would look superb.

I have secret fantasies about stealing all of GMKs tooling :p
This looks great! I might be in for a few sets of these, will I also be able to grab a blank set from you too, the coloring looks great?
Loving the colors on the alt arrows
Looks like a pretty awesome set. I'd like to see the legend color and cap color reversed though, I think the lighter blue/green with the darker font would look superb.
Appreciate the suggestions, the reason I didn't go the lighter option is I thought it would like too much like the Jukebox SA set.

I'm sold on this. Love the set.
I'm loving the colour choice and I'm especially thankful for the inclusion of the Su(per) keycaps but would you be willing to run more than just SA for a profile?
Perhaps that may be for another day; but I'd personally love this in Cherry profile. :)
I'd also be interested in seeing a Dvorak kit (and perhaps some love for those who use Colemak, as well).
Cheers; and great work! - I really like the wallpaper too.
Finally got back home and was greated with my SP/PMK color chips (see main post).
I ordered color codes; BED, GFE, TGG, VBV, YW, and RDA
Verdict:
YW; Looks more mustard than orange, thinking it would be better as YL
BED and VBV; Looks great/exactly as I had envisaged
RDA and GFE; This is what was orignally proposed however I also trialed TGG, which doesn't look as appealing.
In conclusion:
Final colors will be BED, GFE, VBV, YL, and RDA
Comments appreciated, I'll do my best to do some sort of rendering so you get the idea.

I love the colors, but maybe you can cut the mockups into separate images for each kit, "zooming" in actually makes it smaller because of the image size/height.

You would think they would maybe beef up their ability to produce these caps if there is such a demand for them. Probably not quite to the break even point to pay for more machines yet.

The equipment costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, it would not be a good investment for them. Even creating a second set of molds if for some reason they had spare machines would still cost ridiculous amounts.

Thanks for the feedback guys, naturally SA is the 'preferred' as we can all tell by the abundance of SA sets being IC'd at the moment.How about waiting for SA or doing gb before other sets?
As Steezus pointed out, it may be good to have something else in the mix, that way we don't have to necessarily wait for one year to get the set produced...after all people do love Granite :P
I'll clarify all the different pricing tiers with SP and see how we go :)

Well you don't really want to push people out of 'the rotation', I mean the whole process is dependant on the support of the community, so doing a GB before others would be...well...I don't know sort of wrong.

Those colors can only be manufactured double shot, unless you make the alphas lighter with darker legends to have them made dye sublimated on PBT.

Spoton, so we have the following options:
DSA: PBT/dye sublimated
SA: ABS/Doubleshot (with the International Kits dye sublimated)
Need to work within the rule of thumb that the keycaps need to be lighter in color than the text for sublimation, so that certainly impacts the final color options.
Thanks swimmingbird and ideus.
I'll throw an update out here as soon as I hear back from SP.

Doesn't SP have molds for international sets already? Why would those have to be sublimated for SA?
Personally, I would be more interested in a reversed scheme but whatever ;)
If it's DSA then i'm all in.
I may be in if it is DSA double shot, PBT in DSA warp when dye sub, I cannot see the irregular gaps in front of me all the time.

The only concern with DSA is the colorway (I believe) for anything that needs dysublimation (e.g. international sets).
I would love to be able to do the whole things DSA (ABS/Doubleshot), however I do not believe we can doubleshot the international kits? That is the only reason I'm leaning toward SA (the whole thing can be ABS/Doubleshot).
Pricing added, next step is to find a distributor :)

Definitely interested if it's DSA PBT (if this is still going on) ;D

Can't be DSA PBT given the colors as SP only does PBT as dyesub. Dyesub requires the legend color be darker than the cap color which isn't the case here. The only option is doubleshot ABS.

Any movement on this?
Love the colors, its calming to look at. :)
I'd love to get these!! Playing Earthbound right now!
Wow this is fantastic, the price is nice too :)
Need to get this set on the road already

Awesome work dude!!! Can't wait for these :3
Voted mate!! Let's get this thing on the road, well, err, my keyboard!! :D
Voted, really nice job ;)
super stoked to see this set moving:)
Voted, really like the colors. Hopefully this will come after a SA set, I need to try SA out first :(
Life happens and takes people away from these things. No worries.
:) thanks mate, you are the driving force at the moment =)
Woah Glenmael, how did I miss this IC?!
Love this set man, I'd be in like Flynn for sure!!
Beautiful set, and love the inspiration!
:) thanks mate, you are the driving force at the moment =)
Nawhh mate :3 Just really want to see this realized and on my board, infact I'm gonna buy a whole new board just for this badboy!! :D
I'm Down for this one for sure.
Congrats!
Over 200 on Massdrop! We made it, make it happen now Glenmael!! 8) 8)

any word yet?

Nothing yet good sir :(
There may be a few sets in front (that have quiet a few more votes).
Unfortunately we may need more votes, or simply wait out turn.
Looks great, voted. Any chance we might see a kit with modifier keys in a different color?

Check in with the MassDrop folks on that. I believe Yanbo's been pretty active here and might be able to get you more info on that.

You mean something different to the 'Alternate Modifiers Kit'?

Yes. Like modifiers in another keycap color. Ctrl, shift etc in VBV or RDA maybe.
Any chance for a kit that would support the ultimate hacking keyboard?

Right shift and control do not look the same width in the picture, as the layout size states. By the way, do you really have one of this, or you are waiting one to be delivered?

Both pictures are from their official site, I have no idea why it looks different.
I don't have it yet, it's gonna ship in September, I'm exploring options :)
The set is awesome, so I'm planning on buying it either way if it comes to that, uhk keys would be the cherry on top :)
As for the special keys: 1.5 backspace, 2.25 ctrl, an additional 2.25 shift, and a bunch of 1.75's for space/enter/mod (smash would be lovely).
This is one of the nicest looking designs I've ever seen in a keycap set, seriously hope it goes through to production. Homage to a great game as well. Here's to hoping it gets enough votes :-)
It may well be a while before this one runs on MD. At least judging from the Dasher/Dancer thread, they were slated on MD later in 2016. Curious to see where this one falls.

Yeah I hear you, I personally would love to see buys run in terms of profile differences in the sets, for example; SA one month then DSA then GMK Cherry etc. Obviously this method is flawed as there are not that many sets with varying profiles, buy hey, it's a bit of variety.

DSA does seem to have gained some ground this year. We had a huge round of Granite, then Hana, and now this. There's at least one or two other DSA sets I recall popping up recently as well. GMK ends up tricky on regular rotation given the MoQ requirements and limited color palette.
Here's to hoping JTK can eventually step up capacity to handle a larger workload. Then we just need matt3o to come through with those hi-profile caps he's been working on.
Definitely interested! I love this game, just started playing it again for the jillionth time. :D
The only thing I would change is the font.... Not sure if that's been set in stone after the MD IC.
If it's SignaturePlastics, could the Isotherm Line font be used? It has a sorta futuristic look to it, I think it would look shweeeeeet on this set

Either way, nice job Glenmael!
Voted, the world needs more DSA sets!
Would this only be available in 1 keyboard size?
My keyboards bottom row are 6.0 and 6.25 :( :(
An Earthbound-themed set?! Probably the only kit I've seen recently that I actually want.
Maybe we can get a Mother 3 kit soon after this one drops :)
By chance, has MassDrop said anything about timeline just yet?
Voted! :thumb:
I was hesitating with DSA Navy and didn't click the BUY botton. But I am sure I will with this set.
However, please make the modifier more visible.
Thanks.

They have said that I'm in the queue, not much else aside from that. Was hoping for a more concrete date/time/answer to report back but I'm afraid that's all I've been given.
Will ask for another update :)
Thank you for all the support.
Prefer DSA. Make sure to make blank alphas available.Couldnt you just buy the blanks though?

I was starting to think there were too many sets with blue colourways being produced but I just can't stop coming back to look at the renders on this page. Although I generally prefer green I'm hypnotised by this theme - it just seems to glow :eek: I was going to wait for Nuclear Data to run again, but I'm thinking a shorter profile might be more for me, plus I'm not keen to join that SA production queue.
I was wondering though, is there any chance of including a grey/purple F5-F8 in the Alternate Modifiers Kit so that the colour stripe could swing either way? I'm looking to deck out an Access-IS 15x8 matrix with 1x1 keys, and at the moment it's looking like I won't be using any grey/purple keys unless F5-F8 are offered in grey/purple. I could probably live without the grey mods, but something about the dullness of them really seems to make the alphas pop :thumb:
Sorry for not responding in so long, this is still certainly on my priorities list.
I've reached out to the MassDrop team twice now without any luck - I'm trying again now :)
