whats with all the negativity?
it obviously took this person a lot of time to put together this interest check. I dont see the issue with similar colored sets. The KAT Explosion set was clearly geared towards megumin fansand this set was clearly inspired by avatar and the novelties reflect that. I bought the kat explosion set and if this goes to gb id probably grab this one since in my honest opinion GMK Red Dragon fails to deliver. actually im not even sure if that set is based on avatar. this set however is much closer in theme with GMK Mizu with colors that match the animated series so I could see it being part of that "collection".
Also KAT vs Cherry etc.
Id love it if this set hit GB. Some people are just very close minded. Every keycap set has a theme that it calls home to. If im a fan of avatar id rather have a set that was based on it originally than to try and pass off a megumin set as being "fire nation" colors ya know? its the novelty of it all. When it comes to sets based on animated characters, theres only so many good looking color combinations available anyway. dont let peoples' negativity stop you. id be more worried about copyrights/licensing tbh
I like how there are no survey options to select in the IC, just a text box for comments :thumb:
2. Uses a (most likely) copyrighted name without having any licensing from Nickelodeon
2. Uses a (most likely) copyrighted name without having any licensing from Nickelodeon
did Rise get a permission to run with the name from Nick, or did he get a licensing agreement with them?
The problem is that it:Turns out fire and explosion based characters have similar colours, who knew?
1. Copied the colorway of KAT Explosion pretty much 1 to 1
2. Uses a (most likely) copyrighted name without having any licensing from NickelodeonAgreed. (Board renders would be nice - in its current state I can't add it to KeycapLendar)
3. This is far from a fleshed out IC. The basekit render has a ton of errors and there are no real kits whatsoever.
4. The person made an account just for posting this IC (twice by the way) so it's unlikely that they spent "a ton of time" to make this.This was posted on Reddit on the 22nd of July (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/hvwa76/check_out_this_interest_check_for_gmk_firenation/) and the 23rd of August (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/if5vwu/checkout_the_gmk_firenation_updated_interest/). I don't think activity on Geekhack specifically should be used as an indicator on how much effort has been put into a set.

They must have just changed it, there were questions before about which kits you want and if you want collabs like a BBOX60 or Nano Slider to go with the set

idk it looks really close to gmk olivia++ to me
Making it the same colors that were used by Rensuya for KAT Explosion in the exact same way then just calling it GMK Fire Nation when Rensuya is running GMK Red Dragon makes me believe that his designs influenced you in a way. I could be totally wrong though, there has been times where someone new in the community makes something that has already been designed.
For anyone reading this who might be thinking "wow I should make an IC as well!" please consider making (considerably) more than two posts on the forum, doing some research, and getting to know the culture before you just post an interest check for something you intend to make a commercial product...
Something something this looks very similar to GMK Red Samurai and a certain KAT keyset so that might affect your market size
Am i the only one noticing the 2 stepped caps lock?

Very important to have "Caps" and
"Caps
Lock"
Very important.
People need to understand that these are just renders, the final product is are to look completely different.
Please whatever you do, do not change the colors. The set is similar to KAT Explosion at first glance but is different when you take a closer look. People need to understand that these are just renders, the final product is are to look completely different.

That was just a small error with the kitting, that our renderer has now corrected!
QuoteHow do I, or anyone else trust your ePBT RamenStop renders then?
Nebulant color matches my sets.
how can i trust a man who doesn't even know how to quote on GH properly
Isn't sRGB the bog standard for consumer monitors?
It's fine. This is not unlike the designers/artists who get inspired by waifus and copy/paste colors from their favorite show into a KLE. Which as long as that designer/artist gets to it first, the community goes nuts over it. Two different people can be inspired by the same thing and have their own interpretation, as we see here.
The colors, kitting, novelties, mats, ect are not exactly the same as anything else. They are close, sure, but close does not constitute an uproar.
People only talk about "respecting" intellectual property when it's a company that will actually care about it's use. I don't think I have ever seen anyone concerned about respecting IP in a weeb set. Did anyone reach out to Kadokawa Shoten or Madman Entertainment for KAT explosion? I have a lot of respect for Ren and have given them a LOT of my money lol, but it makes absolutely no sense to ask Ren for their blessing to use a color way that was adopted from an already existing IP.
And I don't know how you can think it's scummy to post this when Red Dragon is running. They are both based off of the same unoriginal idea. It's about as scummy as running Red Dragon while ATLA and Legend of Korra are still airing on Netflix lol.
Was looking on Keycaplender and noticed that this has a GB date of March 8th through April 8th. Is this actually running? There isn't any info on vendors?
It’s very obvious something is wrong here. Particularly about not contacting rensuya. You may think your colours are “different enough” but thats coming from YOU. Clearly almost everyone else disagrees here. Ignoring all other points made, the clear lack of understanding towards how things work here is appalling to me.I mean, I'd personally argue that the lack of updates from the designer is a far bigger issue than who "owns" the colours.
Your account was registered since 8 May 2020 and you have only 4 posts till today. The comments from eski and Tyson have reinforced the fact that there is a inherent disregard and blatant disrespect for how anything works here. You can be as polite as you want in your responses, but your actions are speaking louder than your words right now.
Hello, in thread "GMK Beta" was published update of basic Latin/Hiragana GMK keycaps from Zambumon:

@GMK_Andy come on....What the hell is this and why is it moving forward in GB? Y'all just posted about how sets with IP can't run any longer. I could have missed it, but did the designer or Kono provide proof of permission to use these novelties? They are litterallly traced from items in the show!!! Was this set licenses? Given the cost I doubt it. Can GMK please please please confirm what guidelines are used to decide when a set can and can't run? This set is super close to GMK Red Dragon, and damn near a copy of KAT Explosion. It seems fine for you to run this, but Retrowave was cancelled at first because it was "similar to Laser" If it really does just boil down to what sets will sell better, or what vendor has better lawyers, tell us. We can at least give you points for transparency and move forward.^
