I do not think this is the best representation of Cyberpunk's colors. A tad strenuous on the eyes. Was this IC released early to claim the idea of cyberpunk?
Omg i Love this 😱
Since it's jtk please make this tripleshot with hirigana it would fit the theme so well!

Lad, you're almost at 200 posts! You're almost an influencer to get THE board. You can't be slipping like this...
An IC is not one render, with more than 200 posts you should know better than making this rubbish.

I mean they just spammed 20 posts out in the span of like 10 minutes today so I'm not sure we can even count that.

I appreciate the hustle and desire to capitalize on zeitgeist while you can.
That being said, early ICs are simply not the way to go about publishing a set concept. A bad early IC is way worse than a late, fleshed out IC. ICs are all about impressions and the impression this IC leaves upon me is very poor. You're looking for positive reception as confirmation for renders? You're not going to find it with this low quality of an IC.
It's clear that you're fairly new to the community. You made a GH account to post this thread. This is a 104 key base kit. That's something you majorly flesh out before you even have colors in a lot of cases. Your colors are web colors, meaning you're oblivious to the IC process and GMK production as a whole, things you can easily find out more about by visitng the trove of old GB and IC threads, or even uniqey's website. This comes off as a cash grab from an inexperienced community member, which, to be honest, I'm not ragging on, but I'm definitely not about it. Take some time in the hobby to be part of the community. Be a little more active. Find out what works, what's good, why it works, why it's good, and talk with more types of folks to engage in that exchange. That's what it's really about. While the "i see guy make thing, i can make thing too!" mentality certainly has driven a lot of cool stuff, this is not one of those cases.
Renders went from being a nice to have in ICs to nearly a need to have. It shows you have some level of personal commitment to the set that you would even pay for mockups our of your own pocket before anything is official. To not have renders and to just show off a set of KLEs, is definitely not a good look, and the KLEs do a very poor job of showing the colors that you want to show, or maybe they do a really good job, but to me they look like blanks. I'm not trying to bog you down or take shots at an easy target, rarely anything ever deserves that. If you're truly invested in making this set happen beyond a text-post and a barely visible KLE render, you need to make a very good impression, so that vendors who see your IC will want to work with ya.
Many people will not buy into the concept if the IC is not good from the get-go. You can sell any concept to anyone as long as the beginning impressions are good enough.
If you're intent on making this happen (and this would have to be very soon, before more eyes can see this and get their first impressions, which, in their current state would result in the set being written off extremely quickly) then you can:
1. Flesh out those layouts.
2. Get some renders.
3. Pick colors that aren't web colors, it's 2020. We have resources to help design GMK sets. GMK has resources to help design GMK sets. Use google, guy.
4. Goals, MOQs, prior contact to GMK show vendors that you're willing to do work beyond "hur dur look at color now shoulder it all for me," which, even if a vendor wouldn't take you up on, they would like to see.
5. Give more of a ****. Going into a project half-assed (you could be fully on board, but this post does certainly not show that) only makes me believe in the project less. If you don't believe in your project enough to give a detailed, commited sales pitch, why should any vendor, or even why should the community believe in it? Dipping your toes into the pool is simply not an option when everyone else who's making successful sets is hopping in headfirst.
cmon guy.

not to flame, But this is extremely low effort. You took 2 stock colors and smashed them together with little to no thought, and it came out as an eyestrain of a keycap set that will get you sued faster than using NCS music on youtube.

No. God no.
Not sure the Krelbit copypasta has ever been more relevant. OP, in all seriousness give this a read please.sauce?I appreciate the hustle and desire to capitalize on zeitgeist while you can.

Love the amount of reactions to plain as day garbage this site gets. Makes me think people will create accounts and reach to get this kind of attention on purpose!Didn't these sort of IC's use to get one reply and then die? Wonder what happened.
everybody so mad that they don't even realize this is a complete parody of the cyberswitch ic. :))is it really
This has to be a parody right..?

It has been brought to our attention that the designer of GMK Nuclear Burger thinks that our colourway is too similar and we are copying their set.

This set was developed before we even knew Nuclear Burger existed and regardless, we see no similarities between the two.
Judging by the quality of the renders in that IC we also believe this is a much more mature set.
Thank you to everyone for all the kind feedback, we are excited to announce a few vendors on board for this set including DixieMech (NA), SwitchKeys (OCE) and CandyKeys (EU).

Not that I'm really defending this set or the designers discord, but did you even think about this response before posting it? This kneejerk response was reckless and just doesn't belong on Geekhack, and certainly does not improve the already fairly toxic environment in these forums. Criticize the set for what it did wrong, that's completely fair. What isn't fair is your attempt to say these sets aren't good in their own right just so that you can put down a discord server. Going through each individually, there's actually not much wrong with any of the sets mentioned and are actually great representations of good ICs and sets.
To be honest Puddsy, you have been a great influence in the past. But I think even you can agree that this comment was a load of dog**** and does nothing constructive besides boost your ego.
