Title: [IC]『NGNL』Keyset
Post by: DALExSNAIL on Tue, 02 August 2016, 17:20:46
A great show that ended before it deserved to. No game No life had some of the coolest colors in an anime in a long time, so i thought Id try my hand at coming up with a set that would match the characters......at least somewhat haha

(https://i1.wp.com/www.otakumusicradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/No-Game-No-Life-episode-08-Jibril-Sora-Shiro-Steph-578x325.jpg?resize=578%2C325)

It's a show most people found tacky color wise, what with the checkerboard and red lines around EVERYTHING. But it holds a place in my heart. It could be done better for sure, but I thought I'd at least see if fans of the show browsed the forums! Any feedback is welcome, but the red lettering has to stay!

Current Ideas:

Didn't watch whatever show that is but I'm liking all these bright colorways popping up. This one especially as purple and white is my favorite color combo. I'm wondering, though, how many of these interest checks are going to make it to production cuz I'm dying to get my hands on some of them and my wallet is already having panic attacks

Really good show and I'd recommend it to anyone.

And as far as sets making it to production, I couldn't say really. That's why they're in this sub forum!

i thikn this one is the best one.

maybe have red mods with white legends

5 diff colors is a bit much.

maybe stick to 3 at most. purple, white, red

Clearly. I just haven't been around long enough to really gauge the IC to completion ratio so I'm kind of just waiting to see, you know, what comes of some of these unique colorways. It seems I'm in the minority here of liking crazy themes and bright colors or whatever.
On a side note, I didn't see the checkerboard pattern on the side before and can't say I'm a fan of that aspect. But please, dear good, don't change that white number row.

Hmm maybe a color that matches the hair more to replace the white and aqua?

The first one with the yellow was supposed to match the shirt from the main character in the show a bit haha, but the whole show is super loud as far as color goes.

Maybe a single yellow key with a red heart would do just as well.

I do agree that the one you posted is the best out of the group though, So I'll most likely expend from there.

The checker board is just as another nod to the show, it has a ton of board game and card game themes so checker board patterns are everywhere in the show.

Some of the stuff was just me messing around to gauge if people had seen the show haha. But I'm not 100%on the checker board.

I loved NGNL and really like the idea behind this, but we really have to work on the contrast here. The white numrow is great, the yellow alphas also work out well, but all other colors just seem too similar. I'll give you something concrete later since it is in the middle of the night right now.

You're getting dangerously close to creating my dream keys. But it your going to do the alternating color function row, maybe include it as a modifier set along with the other white keys that aren't alpha numerical. I like the idea of the darker purple and white with a few yellow accents. Though it might be getting away from your original vision/theme
I have no opinion on profile cuz the only one I have experience with is cherry.

I can't really make great edits of the colorways, I might end up playing around in Keyboard Layout Editor if I can't find a different solution than creating from scratch.

But I've got a few ideas for novelties, everyone likes novelties, right?

1. 『  』
2. 空 (Sora)
3. 白 (Shiro)
4. 空白  (kuuhaku/blank/『  』)
5. Chesspieces that stand for the different races, more info here: http://no-game-no-life.wikia.com/wiki/Exceed (http://no-game-no-life.wikia.com/wiki/Exceed)
6. A crown

Chess pieces for sure,"blank" cap for sure, crown definitely.

What about card symbols? Club, spade, heart, etc.

Still not a fan of the low contrast mods(especially on the lighter set), also liked the yellow alphas.

Also, is it just me or does the "red" look orange-ish? I'd maybe prefer a deeper red to increase contrast.

Imho the main colors are yellow, purple and white/very light blue, with the red as a accent color that would work in a few combos, just no red text on purple keys please. If it REALLY has to stay Red Text on all keys, one of the few red/purple combos that offer a nice contrast would be scarlet red/indigo, maybe try that for a mockup.

I'll play around with color combos later today, still got other stuff to do first.

Added more in the OP.

Only reason i wanted the red on purple was for the weird contrast similar to some scenes in the show., but with white it looks pretty good too i think

Not impossible, but also not too likely, the Author is known for only releasing the beginning of his Light Novels as Anime. That way people will get interested in the story and buy his books. But the chances are not 0, there is a Movie coming out soon that is based on Vol 6 (Story of Tet and the world of Disboard) of the light novel, the anime covered Vol 1-3. There are already 8 Volumes released, but the author was ill for a long time, so maaaybe there will be something coming. I mean NGNL was A LOT more popular then his other stuff. I'd also not blame him if he wants to finish the light novel first before investing time in the next season of the anime, there was over one year of a gap between volume 6 and 7. And Vol 6 does not fit into the timeline of the anime too well. Ah you never know, I hope there will be a new season.

Post by: AresTheGod on Tue, 09 August 2016, 05:20:29
Yeah, I know, he released the anime to boost the sale of his LN, but I pretty sure he didn't except the anime to get this popular.
About the film, I think it's a good thing. Could mean that they are thinking about a season 2.
And I hope too  ;D

Post by: Weiss on Tue, 09 August 2016, 16:14:02
Can say I'm interested in the concept of the set, and would prefer image 2 over image 1 simply because of the mod color choice.

Do have to agree though that it really is reminiscent of the recent Kobe Bryant set and I don't know how I feel about that or how to make it different, so I can't really complain.
Title: Re: [IC]『NGNL』Keyset
Post by: DALExSNAIL on Tue, 09 August 2016, 18:04:43
Well damn, didn't even see that set until you guys pointed it out.

This set will most likely be DSA or SA if there's enough interest, Also the red legends on white / off-white backdrop, so hopefully that's enough of a difference to set it apart.

It gives me even more motivation for red on purple legends for the mods, but most seem to prefer the yellow. I like both equally so it works out for me not matter what.
Title: Re: [IC]『NGNL』Keyset
Post by: DALExSNAIL on Tue, 09 August 2016, 18:39:10
Maybe? To be honest once I saw that Kobe set I feel like it'll be tough to differentiate the palette originally planned
