Still any chance of this hitting GMK instead??
Not instead, but it could be done once SA has wrapped up. I have no intentions to shelf the design at that point, but I will focus my efforts on SA now.
------------------------------------------
I'll now place a little mile marker right here with this post. The design is done for now, I have collected a few points I'd like to address in the future, but nothing that would be game changing at this stage. I will patiently watch the MassDrop poll climb and cross my fingers for a spot in the queue to open up for this set. Don't expect this to be decided soon, we will need to be very patient for this to happen. During this time I will make efforts to increase word of mouth by improving the presentation of the set, such as setting up a dedicated project page instead of focusing on the first post of this thread as I have done so far. So the progress will seem much slower from this point on as I will be pushing out updates and changes much less frequently as I have since the sets inception on October 1st. This does of course not mean I am absent from the forums! My activity will remain.
It is also time that I give proper credit where it is due instead of having it spread across the last four pages of this thread:
Big thanks to Paolo Borelli, the creator of the Oblivion theme, to Evangs for helping me figuring out the 40bit set and enduring my chats with him, to Zambumon and MiTo who's sets I have used as reference to create the other compatibility kits, to /u/thinman who allowed me to extract the shading from his renders, to jchan94 for being such a kind person, to T0mb3ry for his input and last but not least everyone else in this thread for their suggestions, requests, votes and of course compliments! I hope I have not forgotten anyone!
