Title: [IC] Portal Round 2: Want to change anything?
Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 14 March 2012, 04:08:17
Okay, so its 2 am but I'm going to throw this up now and get feedback. Most all of you should be well aware of the Portal set and how awesome it was. There has been great demand for another round, so I'm going to do one. The question is, do we pay more fees and change/do more keys, or do we just do a simple 2nd run of it that can be done really easily and very fast.

Pics of the original set will be added tomorrow if not posted by others before then... and probably some more details too.

This will happen alongside Biohazard and some other keys hopefully. Feel free to shout out any ideas for keys you would like to be done alongside it, I'm very open to suggestions for new keys to go with this. My ideas only go so far, so its up to the community to tell me what they want.

Dave out.

Any way to add a poll to this thread? I can see that both old sets or new sets is a good idea, but forcing everyone to get one or the other will lower the overall costs for everyone.

1. Adding an orange portal and blue portal key like Hazeluff's two piece set would be good.
2. All portals in color along with the water in the picture of the guy swimming and getting shocked.
3. Perhaps replace some less popular keys with some new designs, here's some ideas:

a. sentry facing forward rather than from the side since the sentries are cute too. Not sure if it would be cooler with its turrets revealed or hidden
b. glados (just the "face" part probably)
c. Wheatley (that main british guy from portal 2)
d. something related to a potato (I saw my brother playing portal 2 but I haven't played it myself so I'm not entirely sure what this is about)
e. the portal gun (not sure what angle would be best)
f. spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace sphere (whoops, realized that Wheatley and the space sphere are the same except that one has a blue eye and the other has a yellow/orange eye)

Basically instead of sticking with just educational/warning symbols like we did, maybe aim more for things from the games that stick out such as iconic characters and items. The keys that people love seem to be related to this theme. I'm pretty sure for example that nobody cares about the one with the guy in the water getting shocked. I haven't played the whole game so maybe someone who has could add more to this list.

While f and j may be a good idea, I think most people are interested for Function/Mod row for novelty keycaps. Someone threw a poll up before for where the pair would be best and I think Mod was ahead. Its nice since you have pairs of mod keys (left and right side).

I am interested in a set, if there are any new keys. Not so much if it is just the same set. I may be interested in original set that is modified slightly.

Definitely in for a portal set. I would be perfectly happy with the original set.

Adding in portal 2 related stuff is going to add a massive amount of new key options, would have to be careful not to overcomplicate things.

But would be nice to see a charred companion cube and whole cake

I like the idea of taking the popular ones from GB1 and offering them as singles.

I would totally be down to get Cake, Companion Cube, Portal Logo (esc key) but don't absolutely need the other portal "warning" keys.

Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 14 March 2012, 14:00:32
Okay so here's how dyesub keys get made:

SP takes an image, with all of the keys that they are going to be making's svgs on it, and they print that onto sublimation paper. The keys are then run through the machine and made all at once, then the machine takes them and dumps them into the individually wrapped bag you saw last round. Some of the suggestions would end up being vastly more expensive as they require being run individually of others. For example if we offer singles of the original set, for someone to get a complete original set it would likely cost $80 or more because you'd probably be paying over $6 per key in any of the likely quantities we'd be running.

I love the orange and blue portal guys, but if its going to be on a black key it has to be a doubleshot, since dyesub doesn't work on black keys. That poses some issues with the legends methinks, but I'm willing to see what Melissa says about them. I'm assuming Hazeluff knew the requirements when he made them so they should work, but they do need some modification. The tiny hole behind the knee on the blue key isn't going to work, neither are the edges by the foot and the shoulder of the orange key. I would move the orange guy a little more out of the portal to show more of the leg/shoulder and either more in or more out for the blue guy so that hole is either workable size or gone. Doubleshots can do small dots, the random key from the SC2 group buy is enough proof of that, but that svg makes it look like a 1 pixel dot. Hazel if you could send me the relevant SVGs you'd like me to consider running that would be great, and I'll post them up when it gets time for decisions.

We could also do dyesubs on the color of the portal keys, blue and orange work well if we use black legends.

There was an old idea to just do orange and blue portal doubleshots on black keys. 1 portal per key, but how we would keep that from just looking like an oval is up to you guys.

Basically remember this when considering options:

Dyesub gives us massively more detail, and I prefer it for anything beyond a simple legend. In almost all cases, I'm going to want to do it on the same color PBT as we had initially, for matching purposes, and especially if we do colors in the legends, as the colors show up the best on the white bases.

Doubleshots for singles, as dyesubs are much more expensive to run as singles

Spacebars cannot be run as dyesubs, since the PBT bows out too much for it to function. I'm thinking the only workable suggestion so far for that would be just to use a text legend "Spaaaaaaaaacccceeee" or similar for that. We couldn't put a good looking core of any kind on a doubleshot key. Same goes for potatoes, portal gun, GLADoS, and anything else complicated legend wise.

As for rows, row 4 is generally what we go with for a variety of reasons. I can't see enough of an argument as to why F and J would make good portal keys, I like the idea of a mod key using the legends Hazel posted most.

I'm fine with changing the theme of this round from "warning signs" to just Portal, but we've gotta come up with good workable ideas, so keep what I posted in mind. Other than that, great ideas guys, and keep em coming.

Post by: Ragnorock on Wed, 14 March 2012, 18:40:58
I should probably clarify more, there will be a white dyesub set, and it will be a set. Any singles will be doubleshots.

Hopefully Melissa will allow multiple key colors as a part of the set and doesn't require they all be white so that we can potentially add some other colored PBT keys to the base 12. We are also discussing what changes to be made to the base set. Coloring all the portals and replacing some of the more boring legends are the only suggestions so far for those.

Sorry, why didn't you just take it from my thread? @_@ I've got some images of some items from the game there as keycaps as well.

The minecraft custom keys fall into some nasty copyright, which none of us risk treading on unless we have permission to use them from their owners.

[...] We are also discussing what changes to be made to the base set. Coloring all the portals and replacing some of the more boring legends are the only suggestions so far for those.

I think the overall set and symbols are fine but would also like to see a little bit more color.
My opinions:
- Coloring portals as you've mentioned
- Coloring the turret 'eye' red, see what I mean in picture below:

- Add some color to all legends, here just a quick and humble 'drawing' to show what I mean:

I'd like dye-sub on white as well instead of DS on black. Also as Mods (too many function row already).

I'm on your team and also on team 'dye-sub-to-match-the-rest'!

SP isnt ok with doing copyrighted goods. They wouldnt do SC2 keys for us for this reason. It is neither very smart to sneak **** past them as thry are the only who can make our keys. If any **** happens. No more keys or dealing busimess with them becomes hard.

I don't remember, did anyone ever ask Melissa what she thought about doing the creeper design? If she hasn't already said no then I may as well ask, but I doubt it will happen. SP is just trying to cover their asses when it comes to trademarks, so the symbols we do have to either be minor inclusions to the game (IE the warning signs on the walls of Portal) or not copyrightable at all ("Triforce" is a geometric shape predating Legend of Zelda by quite some time)

Im fine with pulling a couple of the base set designs and replacing them with those portal guys, and then offering the doubleshot mods. Again no guarantees on how the doubleshots will look given that the legends are somewhat complex. Then again I'm more worried about the biohazard symbol lol. For those that want to buy both the original function row set and the modifier keys, the legends will be the same, (albeit on white instead of black,) so I'm down for including some more function row keys so that those who don't want that have the option to do otherwise. Though nobody has objected to that yet, so... thoughts?

You can consider the doubleshot mods as going to happen, there's enough interest already so no need to vote on that since it isn't replacing anything. Same with adding more color to the original set. Anything else?

Its more economical for people to buy both doubleshots and dyesubs in one group buy in order to save on shipping. Its not like doubleshots cost anymore if I collect orders in the same order as dyesubs. The doubleshots would be offered as singles and the dyesubs as sets, as mentioned before.

Title: [IC] Portal Round 2: Want to change anything?
Post by: Ragnorock on Sun, 25 March 2012, 19:51:06
Row 4, which fits the function row and the row directly beneath it, `1234567890-=.

They are MX only. SP's DCS keys.

It is not possible to do the original legends on black, as they are too complex for doubleshots. Nor is it possible to sell each key individually, as it would be significantly more expensive.

What we are likely to have is an expanded/remixed original set, white dyesubs for the top rows, with individual portal modifier keys for sale. Meaning any of the doubleshots we have you could order individually, and any dyesubs would be part of the set. What exactly those are have yet to be determined. Probably looking to close everything up here and get the order thread up in the next week or two, so get crackin on legend suggestions.

I have been told by the dyesubbers that it cannot be done.  I assume the reason given was that dyes do not cover, so they wouldn't take to an already black key - that much is clear, and not possible. The only conceivable way that I could think of would be to dye sub the entire key, but I assume they would have considered that, and written it off as infeasible.

No. I was exceptionally clear in what I expect to be doubleshots. I assume all of the white keys would be just as they were before, dyesub. This is giving me a headache.  Are you glaDOS?!?

Ah. I think I see where you were complaining about something else, and then no one was clear about anything.  Right, it doesn't make sense to do two of the whites as doubleshots. Nor does it make sense to dyesub the blacks.

Post by: Ragnorock on Mon, 26 March 2012, 07:28:50
The reason that you can't dyesub on black keys is best compared to being unable to see in pitch black darkness. The color/white may be there when you turn the light on, but it is overpowered by the darkness. The metaphorical turning the light on, is lightening the key color. Thus the better colors turn out on whiter keys, and the more contrast is shown.

Anyways I'm going to assume Boilermaker did mean that he wanted some of the function row set as doubleshots, but remove them from the set, creating either duplicates or replacements. Thus those that wanted a doubleshot companion cube Esc only could have that, and if someone wanted the whole function row, they could get the whole set... or if they wanted both they could use them interchangeably, since it would likely have the same legend. I don't think I will be removing 2 of the most popular legends from the full set, even if an equivalent doubleshot is offered standalone.

Anyways, I'll get an image up here soon where I circle the legends I'm considering dropping, and potential ones I'd like to replace them with. Ones like the guy falling in the water or getting hit in the face with the... whatever that ball of stuffs is, can go and in their place we get a potato and... whatever else you guys like!

The reason that you can't dyesub on black keys is best compared to being unable to see in pitch black darkness. The color/white may be there when you turn the light on, but it is overpowered by the darkness. The metaphorical turning the light on, is lightening the key color. Thus the better colors turn out on whiter keys, and the more contrast is shown.

Anyways I'm going to assume Boilermaker did mean that he wanted some of the function row set as doubleshots, but remove them from the set, creating either duplicates or replacements. Thus those that wanted a doubleshot companion cube Esc only could have that, and if someone wanted the whole function row, they could get the whole set... or if they wanted both they could use them interchangeably, since it would likely have the same legend. I don't think I will be removing 2 of the most popular legends from the full set, even if an equivalent doubleshot is offered standalone.

Anyways, I'll get an image up here soon where I circle the legends I'm considering dropping, and potential ones I'd like to replace them with. Ones like the guy falling in the water or getting hit in the face with the... whatever that ball of stuffs is, can go and in their place we get a potato and... whatever else you guys like!

This is exactly my thought process...to be a separate offering that people can grab like 5-10 cubes or modifiers without needing to get 5-10 full sets.  After thinking about it, a companion cube may be hard to do in 1 color, but I'd still buy it :).  Thanks ragnorock for keeping this going!  Can't wait to empty my wallet on this one.

Post by: Ragnorock on Mon, 26 March 2012, 08:13:11
Yeah the main problem with that is that the cube becomes all one color, when the pink heart is really what makes it. Same with the cake key, the cherry looks amazing on it.

I dunno, if you guys want to do that I'm open to the idea, it just depends on the interest. Each would require its own legend fee, probably the $60 expensive one, so we'd need to do lots of keys to make it worthwhile and I'm not sure there's the interest for it. The portal modifier keys have plenty of interest though, so those will be happening.

Post by: Ragnorock on Fri, 27 April 2012, 10:39:57
No, nor would it be necessary, dyesubs last pretty much as long as doubleshots do. I can't think of a situation where you are going to wear down through 2mm of plastic and still be using the same board.

Sorry about the delay guys, planned on getting this up and running this week, but I've got 3 papers due today and its finals next week.

To kickstart things, as it stands now, the portal keyset will remain the same aside from added color on a couple of the keys for consistency and the potato instead of one of the legends, and then 2 portal guy doubleshot modifiers, one blue on black, the other orange on black.

If you guys have anything else you want done, speak up now.

Other options include:

portal guy mods on white AND on black, so both parties are happy, but must have the demand. I'm basically saying that if you want both, you better get at least 100 keys of each (between everyone.)

Looking to do at least 100 sets of the dyesub fn row set as well.

Hazel if you could send me the SVGs of the portal guy keys, and if you have it already, the potato.

Maybe, don't ditch any. Add the potato, and blue & orange portal to the dye subs Fn row, having 16 keys all up?

Portal guy mods on black, or on black and white is fine.

Ballpark $20-25 for the full set, with the doubleshots being the same as typical SP modifier keys, which you can see from some of my previous group buys.

What is holding it up is Hazeluff decided not to let me use his SVGs for the portal guys (I'm unsure why) so I'm stuck here making my own. He wouldn't make a potato svg either, maybe I should pay him? :rofl:

except that the dyesub process gets noticeably cheaper with more keys, having a group buy for single keys would suck on shipping, and it would be a HUGE pain in the ass for GB organizers. Imagine doing 1 group buy for 5 keys and shipping them all together, recieving payment and updating, ect. or doing 5 individual with basically 5X the work. If you want individual keys, check out hashbaz's group buy for the portal keys. Only two in that set so much less volume, and only $5+ per key!

You get right on that. That is hard since most people don't have huge sums of money stockpiled for keys and are living paycheck to paycheck.  Don't participate in them if you don't like how they are run :)

if that key doesn't get made in this GB, you could always get imsto to dyesub it for you.

no black, can't dyesub on black PBT and it certainly isn't possible to doubleshot that cap.

Its possible you could doubleshot that key and get it to look okay, but it wouldn't be 3 colors... which is the entire point. That key is impossible unless we find a company willing do do a tripleshot for it, and we don't know anywhere that does it.

That key is going to be the same as last time, black on white with a pink heart. Trust me it looks great, its one of the best keys I have made.

... And WTFGoD that isn't how it works- in response to both of your complaints.

I would also appreciate if on every group buy from now on for full keycap sets, you could include an esperanto and klingon language kit as well as making sure that ~\ are the "correct" colors. ISO layout should be default too because it would work with my keyboard better. Thaaaaaaaaaaaanks.

Not so sound stupid or anything, but can you bake/burn the plastic enough in an oven at 120F for like 10 minutes to make them black, then dyesub? Either way I still think it is doable, unless you have bad equipment. (yes, ignoring inhuman perceivable contrast).

Yes me wants portal man single keycaps, pbt fine. Companion cube, aperture science, gun marker, & PotatOS. I think I will need to make the pinkie pie portal-man. give me a few.

PS
   Yes, I is a noob as you can tell.
   opinion: black > white. white hurts my weary eyes. Blacks helps me concentrate on my work.

EDIT: made mistakes, learn you guys are talking about dyesubing. Thanks Djuzuh, this one knows this, still it blinds me more. But about the oven thing, depends on the plastic. (of course pure black is not in my keycaps).

dyesub on anything else than white has poor results. And the darker the color, the poorer it will look.

 Also, if you want a black key, you can buy some. You don't need to burn the plastic. Also, it probably don't work to put it in the oven.

You could let SP do the logo on black (dye sub the whole surface black) and paint the sides yourself. :-)

I am tired, I will be busy for my weekend, so if you like to work on the pony portal keycap here are the files:
http://sirplzmysite.net/works/img/

Credits and permissions requestes need to be done.
keycap.svg is the inkscape template for keycaps (v2.0 for users, awesome work, close to scale for cherry mx pbts)
portalpony_work.xcf is my paste work I have not finished. pm me if your like too upload your work in the server.
PortalwGuy2O.png is the idea with portal.png, my-little-portal.png, or portal_my_little_pony_pinkie_pie_desktop_1920x1200_wallpaper-1084639.png. Really any of these you can use for inspiration, like images.jpeg in a white silhouette, and already in between portals.

PS
   And please do not spam. I got limited bandwidth. So save once, and have fun :)

In both the full white set and the 2 portal ones on black that hazel has come up with.

nereme: 3 months is a rough idea. But it depends on the group buy.

I'm making the Order Thread right now. The only thing off is the prices, because I got a quote for a 15 key set from Melissa and not a 16 key one like it is. I'm throwing it up anyways because I don't want to have to reformat everything after copying it to a word doc overnight... and delay it another day. I'm going to estimate the cost of the 16th key, so it shouldn't matter and I shouldn't need to adjust prices. If I do it will be very insignificant.

Updates keycap.svg and portalpony_work.xcf on http://sirplzmysite.net/works/img/

Next is the gun scope and potatOS. Please someone work on these as well. I feel tired. And my work days just begun. All I use is gimp, firefox, inkscape, scp, and after hours of no sleep. And these are hacks

Yo bebuxe, those my little pony keys aren't really what I'm going for in this set or the next, it seems like something more for Hazeluff/keyboardstory.

Also, PotatOS is in my current set, if you didn't notice.
