Colors Used
GMK Gold Rush uses custom colors
Alphas: RAL 1013
Mods: RAL 8019
Legends: RAL 1023(mods), RAL 8019(alphas)
Similar Sets:
While no one technically can own a color, I find that it is important to acknowledge sets that have been run, currently running, or will be run. These are the ones I am aware of and what the similarities are.
GMK Cafe: Uses the same mod color as GMK Cafe - RAL 8019.
GMK Yellowjacket: Similar yellow on dark color(black/brown) mods with lighter colored alphas color scheme.
MG Ember: Similar yellow on dark color(black/brown) mods with lighter colored alphas color scheme.
JTK Yolch: Similar yellow on dark colored(black/brown) mods color scheme.

Kits
These are not the final kits and I will continue to refine them until GB time.
[attachimg=1]
These are not the final novelties and I will continue to refine them until GB time. Notice how the Sift key is actually the size of the Shift key (huhuhu)
[attachimg=2]
Gold Rush Special
To fit with the theme of rushing for gold. I will be offering a limited quantity of 24K gold plated novelty keys. Exact numbers and how to get these are still to be determined.

I don't like the "prospect" enter but I absolutely love the rest.
What he said. I think the Prospect key could change.
The set otherwise is pretty cool.

Looks good but the design looks identical to ePBT hive with monochrome kit... I mean idk who thought of it first but just an observation.
Oof that's one I missed!

technically you didn't - EPBT Hive is the new version of GMK Yellowjacket.
Hello again! Today I bring you the GMK Yellowjacket revival I have been working on with GTRX,
ePBT Hive
Design
So this set probably looks very familiar and that's because it is! GMK Yellowjacket was a shelved project by GTRX and I wanted to get it going again, but as a pbt keycap set instead of the originally planned GMK. I've made changes to the kits, colors and renamed the set Hive. The colors are all custom pantones. I hope you like it!

Maybe have all regular text mods to match the novelty text mods? Sift might look odd if the right shift is an icon.

Eskimojo beat me to the punch, but I do dig the colorway! Great kitting too. Only one thing is missing, and that's a spacebar kit. I do have a tiny objection regarding the R3 '@, #~ keys; I'd say go with R3 \| instead (and possibly <> instead of R4 \|).
Me too. That, or do full UK+US (which would mean R3 \| and the three R1 UK-specific keys).

r2: Out
r3: Data or Read
r4: Shift and Enter
Thanks for considering Merlin!

Prospect Shift key, and vice versa for the novelties?
I'd honestly rather have the Sift key as a Shift key. But the Propsect key is still TBD. I don't like it as much as I thought I would.

The community might be a bit saturated over hiragana sublegends, but if this have them in a kit or something, definitely count me in :D
Yes, because Japan is well known for its gold mines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gold_mines_in_Japan).

<s>Mt Fuji is made of gold, covered by soil so that folks dont dig it out, also the legend of golden samurai sowrd </s>
+1 for Hiragana sublegends kit.

Here we go again. not every set needs to be crammed with the Hiragana sublegends folks...
I agree. Hiragana is at risk of losing its coolness out of overuse, especially in sets that are unrelated to Japan or Japanese culture in general. Doing a GMK GOJIRASTRIKESTOKYO set? Hiragana is fully warranted. Doing GMK MORTADELOYFILEMON? No Hiraganas, guys (no old Iberian scripts, for that matter, as even though both things do come from the same place, they couldn't be more far apart from each other).
The design of this particular set, as it stands now, is very good, so it doesn't need to artificially push up its coolness factor. IMHO, YMMV.

Japan does have a history in gold mining, but I think western nations especially the US has a richer history in it.

I never imagined this as a Japanese sublegend keyset. Those legends have no place in this set.

For me that's completely ok, IMO you, as the designer of the set, must stay to what you think the set is supposed to be. I talked about sublegends just because I really liked them, didn't even think about the suitability with the theme.

Dig | Mine | Strike - all make more sense to me. Prospect is a tough sell for an enter key. I feel like Summon was much more of a fun / successful word in your other set - GMK Merlin.
24k plated novelty is something that I am surprised I haven't seen yet. Really fun idea that I would assume would sell well.
Colorway is great. GLWIC!

Set looks very familiar, but what bothers is the the lack of care on the renders how can you allow your design to be tarnished by simple fixes like that!, Its either whoever rendered this 1) does not care OR 2) rushed this so fast that they did not notice.
Good luck with IC&GB
wdym, the renders look completely fine
