Your renders aren't showing
That greenish blueish color is sublime. If you make a good 40s/ortho support kit I will be unable to resist this.
Arguably, the novelties kit offers ortho support. Can you offer the B novelty in R4 to be used as a replacement for the actual B alpha? Also, I don’t see spacebars kit for split spacebar support in the blue/green colors (2/2.25/2.75). I personally am not a big fan of the accent colors as spacebars (to each his own!).

it is up now he just made a mistake when uploading images
Looking really great had fun helping you with this and it all turned out really great!:3
while i love that you included 40s kit, its gonna be way too expensive.Hmm that is true, can’t deny the added expense.Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/3099/8088/products/Kit_40_1024x1024@2x.jpg?v=1584369194)
prolly as big as youd wanna go. you could even drop more if you dont plan to include minivan support
I can see the renders and I like what I see. :thumb:Yes, I'll be adjusting the forties kit to make it cheaper.
PS: A forties kit like in GMK Sumi or GMK Red Devils would be greatly appreciated. :-*
Loved the colors when I saw it on reddit, looks great. Shouldn’t take long for this to find vendors...Hmmmmmmmmmm
A+ use of the size of the iso enter for the novelty.
Edit: Rama X?
GMK B-MO*Wink*
The base kit is missing the R3 \| key (it IS present, however, on the light mode kit).Noted
Interested in GMK Retrocade! :-*You are one crazy ass monkey xd

Nice set! I'm particularly enjoying the IC itself, great job with that :thumb: F13?Right now I'm trying to make the base kit affordable while also being inclusive, if I make an extension kit I'll make sure to add an F13 key, if you are using like a tkc 1800 and wanted an F13 maybe it's possible to use the little BMO key I added. Thanks for the feedback.
40s kit even worse now, too many extra keys, too many accents, no bars, forced to buy spacebar kit, 40s kit and have a bunch of duplicate 1u blanks. the bars are the cheapest part of the kit, removing them and adding other keys doesnt make sense to me.I am aware of those errors, I'm planing to finalize the kits by the end of this week and I will try my best to deliver satisfying results.
Very interested! Your renders match the color of that Game Boy color really well! My cell phone camera not so much lolI'm currently not planing to perfectly color match the base color with the cyan Gameboy, my set is more greener and darker. I'm more focused on the overall style and theme, but I'm getting a cyan gameboy just to make an album comparing the colors, stay tuned for that.
Hey, I love this and am deffo gonna pick it up when it comes out!Ey, thanks bud,
I just have two questions;
Firstly Iso support is crossed off, does that mean its in the works or you're not adding it?
Secondly, are the two original desk mats going to be available? As I personally prefer the original two you had shown, as I feel they fit better with the light blue on blue colourway.
Thanks
this looks great Naty!! hypers:)

GMK Retrocast (originally called GMK Retrocolor) is a set themed around retro handheld consoles. The core color is a dark cyan inspired by my childhood Gameboy Color (this set is not color matched to the cyan Gameboy). This set has colorful accents to contrast and compliment the base color. Novelties consist of charming illustrations of famous retro handheld consoles such as the Gameboy Color, the original Gameboy, and game cartridges.
What does the X mean?
Just like how in math the x represents any number, the x on retrocast represents any game. find the x.

It's happening soon!
:( Lost full and basic ISO support... Currently theirs no R4 |\ key to go with the 1.25 left shift, so would have to use the spare 0 key from the numpad to even cover the board properlyI'll be adding back the R4 |\
Dark alphas are what made this set for me :((
Same for me...
Maybe you could add another dark alpha kit :thumb:Dark alphas are what made this set for me :((
I'm much more interested in this set now that the light alphas are in the base kit, but I don't see why there can't be a dark alphas kit. Also, one of the R1 and R2 1u novelties should be changed to dark to better fit the light alphas.
It's happening soon!Any chance of you giving a ballpark on when?
We're waiting for the quotes, as soon as we get them I'll announce the GB DateIt's happening soon!Any chance of you giving a ballpark on when?

Updates:
-Due to some complications, I am only able to produce the light alpha base kit. For people who are a fan of the dark alphas no worries, there will be a round two of GMK Retrocast if this one does well.
oof, no dark base kit anymore?!?! that is a deal breaker for me :(
The R4 1u \| key in base should be alpha-colored.
I've added it to the final kits, everything is done and I'm just waiting to announce the group buy date.The R4 1u \| key in base should be alpha-colored.
In addition to this, would it be possible to add 2x R4 1.5u Start/Select keys and another R4 1u Alt key for those who prefer the OG HHKB bottom row layout?

Could you please update the OP with the final kits so we can check if everything is correct?
There you go ;)
The R4 1u \| key in base should be alpha-colored.
Why is there an alpha-colored Return key? I hope this is a mistake and not on purpose.
The 1.75u spacebar in the Batteries kit should be changed to 1.25u. 1.75u is used only on very few 40% keyboards, so it shouldn't be in the big spacebars kit as it's already included in Cartridges. On the other hand, 1.25u is useful for many layouts, including standard split 6.25u spacebar (2.75u+1.25u+2.25u), and Alice and other ergo boards (2u+1.25u), so it would make sense for it to be in this kit.

Any updates Plop?GMK is a bit slow so we're still waiting for the novelty quotes, things will hopefully be done before GB
sneaky removal of the BMO cap? :(It's a decision made to try and make the base kit cheap, although if I pass 500 base kits I'll probably add it to the extras ;)
big base + novelties is going to kill my wallet. Why do designers do this? One time id love to to see someone take a gamble, add minimal novelties to a small base (no numpad, iso etc) and see if it means doubles the amount of bases sold.Glad to announce the price has been revaluated and base kit will only cost $134.99 usd. I'll post the final update after I get all of my vendors on board.

It looks so good on the Cyberboard
I would have instantly bought the "Light Mode" and "Dark Mode" deskpads, but seems like they didn't make it into the final release. :-[Yeah I took the top 2 leading deskmats
It looks so good on the Cyberboard
hmm idk man, I suggest buying both retrocast (on October 7th ;) ) and the cyber board to confirm. Just saying.
Bought GMK Retrocast at Kona about three weeks ago, but no message or info about guess for when they ship.Estimated production time is 34 weeks from GB close. Add time for shipping to vendors then to you after.
Anyone know about when these ship or where to stay in the loop (keep watching this thread, or some other newsletter)?
