Title: [IC] DSA Abyss Hunter (Canceled)
Post by: Exembe on Fri, 20 August 2021, 01:51:19

-Welcome to the interest check for DSA Abyss Hunter-

I made the decision to cancel the original concept due to possible IP problems. I began a new concept which I will post later on when it is ready. The new concept will keep the colorways and some kitting from this project.
Thanks for everyones advice and help with this project.

Straight from the depths of the abyss comes the Abyss Hunter. A keycap set inspired by space bounty hunters and galactic monsters. Blast your way out from ruthless waves of aliens with these double shot keycaps made of ABS by Signature Plastics

Okay, number one - fix your images.

Number two - I don't even know because I can't see your images because they are 640x360 resolution.

Looks pretty nice, a thematic background for the kitting and board renders would be pretty nice as well. Was good to see this set develop, GLWIC.

UPDATE

Removed 40s kit as it was not needed since base has popular 40s keys anyway
Changed the title to Abyss Hunter instead

So okay.
I can't really care that this is blatantly inspired by a popular IP, or that you're lying when saying it isn't even though you've posted on discord that it was.

What I'm more concerned about, is that Dangkeebs and Alphakeys are, once again, willing to take a risk running a keyset inspired by this IP. With what happened with Encore, I would think that they would be more cautious about picking up this sort of thing, since I'm sure sending out refunds for all those orders has been a logistical nightmare.

The effort you put into the novelties is amazing, I really commemorate you for doing so. But if you're willing to make this set a reality, I implore you and the vendors go all the way and make this as official as possible, for everyone's safety and peace of mind.

First thanks for the positive feedback on my novelties, i did work hard on them.
Second, i think i am handling this wayy differently then the other set in question. I am open to any suggestions on anything related to the set. I am making it clear that everything is my original designs and not direct copies from other companies IPs

Thank you for your feedback
