i love gooooooooooooold
Who doesn't?
NorDeUK kit should be an option to pick in the IC form?
I just wrote it in the comment text box but seems strange :-)
Hi thanks for pointing that out, I've added it to the IC form, alongside a JP sublegends alpha kit.
absolutely love this set !!!
i remap and use media keys religiously so if those get made it would be amazing~
not to mention both novelty kits are just up my alley ⟡
however-- the joker hat nov in the casino royale kit throws me a bit off. cant quite put my finger on it but i think it might be: if you consider the shape of a typical joker hat, it doesnt really make sense for there to be a gap between the left and right dangly parts, unless there is a fourth one (invisible to our eye due to positioning) in front of the back one but behind the front two ? or the blacked-out one is in front... but if that was the case then the left and right ones should be smooshed a little towards the center where they all meet. either way-- would recommend modifying that one design if you can! perhaps bring in the side parts so there is no gap, change the inner shape, or draw out the fourth 'front' part's silhouette ?
also, the overall design language of the casino royale kit leans into solid blocks and silhouettes-- the lined hand+sword and joker hat seem a bit out of place to me
regardless though-- love where this set is going and hope it comes to fruition !! will be following and supporting for sure ♡
Thanks for the feedback
Your comment made me realise that the render is a little inaccurate and using an older illustration of the joker hat. The hat is missing a band that gives it a little more height and better proportions. Please see picture below of an initial draft kitting for novelties:
I didn't add a fourth dangly part behind because I wanted to keep it simple and adding a fourth part would've it look more detailed, making it more 3 dimensional as well, and yeah more stylistic mismatch.
The lined sword novelty on the 2u Backspace is based on the sword that King character in cards typically holds. I can cull it if people don't like it, or consider a switch to something else if there were any good ideas. One alternate idea was the lucky 7s from Slots (perhaps without the rectangular silhouettes seen in the above picture), however I wasn't sure about the appeal of that; and I prefer the 7s as 3 x 1u for the PrtScr, Scroll, Pause cluster for TKL.
I'm also not sure how popular the use of novelty for backspace is to be honest (I'm sure there's many here who prefer split backspace anyways) so I'm open to culling it the feeling towards it is lukewarm and there's no better ideas. At the moment, I've no plans to add the slot lucky 7s as seen in the draft above unless there's a fair amount of interest.
As mentioned before, I'm considering merging the GMK Kin to Koru IC with this to simplify it. Or just running black & gold first, and hold of the Japanese Black & Gold version for the future...
If they were merged, my current idea is 2 base kits perhaps:
Standard base kit - latin alphas with mix icon/text modifier legends (current)
Japanese kana base kit - katakana modifier legends with JP alphas
> considering if the alphas should switch from monolegend to katakana sublegends for the base kit instead?
I would still like to offer a JP Alpha Kit (either kana monolegends, hiragana sublegend, or katakana sublegend) for those who will prefer getting the latin base kit. I've added this as a question/poll to the feedback form to determine the interest in this too, and what sublegends ppl prefer.
However I still end up with 4 novelty kits available... Art Deco, Casino Royale, Kintsugi and Shogun, and I like them all...
