The top-down renders are the accurate ones, we're working on producing renders that match those sets correctly.
We are actually removing the pastel mods but here is what evan had to say on the matter on reddit:
Guys, we are all in for the ride with you but be careful with all these changes as the message is getting very blurred out. I know you are trying to incorporate a lot of feedback but at some very near point you need to lock things down.
You are saying the top renders are now the accurate ones yet in the next line adding that the PW color mods will be also removed. Paperwork is one of the flagship sets here and the pastel mods are what make it unique. People may expect a good reason for that big of a change vs other smaller changes (e.g. bringing the overall goal down or compatibility added) or they will start to question why this wasn't factored already in the original release.
Those who have pledged may not be seeing any of the changes and get mad at the end or stop taking you seriously.
My humble suggestion is to:
1. Lock things down. Make sure you update KS and your own site materials with the accurate color ways.
2. Ensure you punched your number$ correctly in your calculator so there are no surprises down the road on the cost given what changed.
3. Update all the current backers on what was decided.
4. Forget about future possible colorways and ideas and move on to full marketing mode on this campaign. This is an enormous goal and you can't expect the current rate to be maintained for the full 60 days. There needs to be a plan with activity almost daily to reach those of us who are less active around these forums. If it wasn't because I am on Evan's email DL I would have no idea this is going on.
+Use us the backers to spread the message out by providing materials like the banners and other avenues. Make people feel this is a team effort to accomplish like what you are doing in the Instagram stories.
+Get on all the MK shows an blogs. Some very targeted ads on platforms like Facebook where you know you can reach MK enthusiasts.
+Reach those gaming kids that own Razr keyboards and show them a way they can cheaply customize their keyboard. You will need to extend beyond this smaller community to reach your numbers.
Get your interested supporters organized with Discord, slack channels or some other single point of contact to get things moving faster and take some weight off your shoulders. People should not be just wishing this tips over but working to make it happen.
