Not bad. I think the accents are fine. I like that this is not a formulaic set, and isn't a safe color way.

Appreciate the honesty, I want to know your opinions  :thumb:

Interesting, what's the inspiration?

For this set I'm going more for the colorway than a specific theme, but generally cinder, ashes, embers and volcanic rock are my inspiration.

Not bad. I think the accents are fine. I like that this is not a formulaic set, and isn't a safe color way.

Thanks!

Only reason for the hiragana subs is that I love the way they look.

Oh my god. I love it. Not a fan of those accents though, I'm not sure what to replace them with. Hell, I think this set would world with mono color (that orange for the legends, and that base for everything).
Also, as much as I love GMK right now, please consider other companies (Geekark? ePBT?). The lead times for GMK are painful right now.

EDIT: Okay I get why I don't like the accents. It's because you have the same color for the bases of alphas and mods even though they have different legend colors, so the accent keys just stand out more, and not in a good way.

Initial glance reminds me a little bit of Kaiju some, and I say that in the best way possible. Following along, I'll see how it grows on me over time. Best of luck.

Please consider removing sub-legends unless this is Dark Souls related.
Alternatively, if you must have sub-legends, use a different accent colour and go for JTK tripleshot.

Hey so these colors are not my thing but they are well balanced.
Something is off about the Alpha weight in the renders. Is this a reference or are these totally new molds.
Or am I dumb.

Love the colors here! Only wish there was a latin alpha variant (not child kit), feel like it'd look better in this particular colorway. Hiragana/any sublegends add business to an already shocking accent color.

Just my 2cents tho   :-*

hey lush_bunny, good to see you here. Appreciate the feedback!

Please consider removing sub-legends unless this is Dark Souls related.

It is actually slightly inspired by Dark Souls, but for IP reasons I prefer not to mention it, and I don't want to use that as an excuse for the sublegends.

Not new molds, and yes it's just for reference. If the weight is off I haven't noticed so I will take a look.

Hey all, it's clear the accent color and the hiragana subs are very divisive so I added them as questions to the IC form.

I wouldn't mind offering both hiragana and latin alphas but MOQ wise it could be tricky, so it would depend on support during IC.

Thanks for the feedback!

I still strongly feel that the accents should be some type of dark molten lava red to match the volcano theme. Otherwise it looks great, GLWIC!

I'm in the same boat here. I'm a big sucker for grey/black & orange color combos, but the light grey just feels kind of abrupt since it's not featured anywhere else. Certainly adding this to the watch list still though.

I like the general theme but I agree that the accents should probably be darker than the alphas in this case.  The orange is good but I also dont see the need for the sub legends, less is more on a set like this.

Hey everyone,

After a few days the results of the form are not as divided as I expected, 75% in favor of grey accents and 67% of hiragana subs.
With this info I will be keeping the hiragana, but I will still consider adding a kit without subs.

As for the light grey accents, I think the results justify keeping them, but I will still be trying out different options and might make a survey in the future if I find something that works.

Thanks for the feedback so far!

I made a couple of new accent options for GMK Cinder. Please fill this new form so you can pick your favorite.

I tested more suggestions but I narrowed it down to these as I think they maintain the feel I want the set to have.

I like pretty much everything about this set. From the colorway to the renders. I think the existing light novelties work well with it. GJ on getting the hiragana subs completely right. The kitting is also really good, almost perfect. Speaking of which...

Please consider including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65% and other layouts using right columns.

You can probably drop 2u Shift from the base kit. This key is useful only for a limited number of 60% boards. Sometimes it can also be used as a stand-in left space for Alice boards, but there's already an extra 2.25u Shift key for that — and the well-put-together spacebars kit covers that too, so I don't think there's a particular need for this key.

I like the colorway as is; the 428C evoking images of volcanic ash clouds.

I like pretty much everything about this set. From the colorway to the renders. I think the existing light novelties work well with it. GJ on getting the hiragana subs completely right. The kitting is also really good, almost perfect. Speaking of which...

Please consider including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65% and other layouts using right columns.

You can probably drop 2u Shift from the base kit. This key is useful only for a limited number of 60% boards. Sometimes it can also be used as a stand-in left space for Alice boards, but there's already an extra 2.25u Shift key for that — and the well-put-together spacebars kit covers that too, so I don't think there's a particular need for this key.

Thanks once again for giving advice. I removed R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn to keep the price down, but I will keep it in consideration as well as the 2u shift.
