Make love not war.
Nice, I like it. W/ your prior GB will you have any extras or anyone willing to sell their kit(s)?

EDIT:
Following up as I said I would regarding the 88 Commando kits that I'm interested in: Combat Soldier, Forest Commando, Numpad, Upgrade 1, & 2 kits. I list this same kits on your 88 Commando GB post too

There are people selling the kits! I'm still collecting their requests now. You might see a form at the end of the 88 Commando thread for the purpose.
I really like the idea of this but the implementation feels a little too "on the nose". It seems like it could be militaristic without using actual army font and army-themed novelties.

Of course my man. Was kinda upset at myself for not knowing 88 Commando earlier, but Commando 2020 with icon mods and much better color theme in my opinion is just miles ahead. Can't wait to join, especially for SA :)). Any timeline?

OP is as true to original here on geek hack as they come. Icon based modifiers that complement the set as a whole has always been the style that I've seen from Commando, Valentine, and this latest design. Those interested take note, OP is a perfectionist and will work to get the set right to his style and his vision. I only wish I had bought in on Valentine but at the time pink was very much ahead of its time as most keyboards were very much black, gray, silver, red, and only exclusive boards came in unique colors like pink, green, purple, and others.
My only comment or suggestion would be to make this set what you want of it OP. If there is a way that Commando23 and Commando2020 can complement and be interchangeable with alphas or modifiers, then that would further make your buyers sets original and in a way reward your buyers with an even more unique set purchase.
In terms of compatibility, sets that help ensure compatibility with the westerners love for 60/65/75/87 layouts would be ideal but if your vision is 84/87/104/108 then so it should be.
This is reminding me of Commando Behind Enemy Lines. It brings a tear to my eye. I'll probably join because I'm an emotional ****.
Lately there's a game has similar gameplay called Shadow Tactics with Old Japan samurai & ninja theme, but I still miss the Commando series.

Wow wow wow, hold on there for a second... why haven't I heard about this before. I guess I'm too old to follow any gaming news anymore.
But yeah, this is looking great. And it has great reviews. I'll play the **** out of this game for sure. Desperados and Robin Hood were good hommages to Commado series, but those are old games.
Anyway, speaking of your keyset. Maybe you should try something new and make it in tough PBT, like a real army men would do. Nowdays, there are options to do that. SP is offering their R3 SA in PBT, and then there is a new KAT profile too. Your legends are mostly dark color on green, so it can be dye-subbed.
Also, you sholud have some keys that pay tribute to original Commado series. Some icons or symbols that evoke nostalgia.
Please take your time and enjoy the Shadow Tactics game in its Hardcore difficulty... It's a very good game indeed.
And you know what, there's more news that you might want to hear
->
And, sir, you really see through my mind. The PBT availability for SA keyset was what I have always been asking SP since 2013 till recently. Good news I got from them was there must be new tooling for PBT SA that will be fully sculptured and sublimate-able and it might come out at the end of August 2018. But no other news since then.
Other profiles might be good idea, I will consider it more seriously.
Paying tribute to the Commandos series is great. Do you have any suggestions?
Haha, you gotta be ****king kidding me. This is the best news I've heard in a long time!
And, BTW, after watching that video, I've made a little research and guess what I found out:
German developer Kalypso bought complete Commandos IP from Pyro in July this year. They are having big plans with the franchise, and already promised to make remasters, and then make completely new Commandos game.
Oh my, what a great time to be alive.
Although, to be honest, first two parts of the series are hand drawn, and I don't think anything can be done to remaster it, but we'll see. Maybe widescreen mod and few tweaks here and there.
You can read SA Glow thread for more information. He's having similar troubles to yours. I think molds for SA R3 are nearly completed, maybe spacebar is still worked on.Thanks for the heads up! I will follow the thread closely.
Yeah, maybe it's not a bad idea to ask zfrontier are they able to do it. Although, to be honest, it is a little risky. Not a lot of keysets were made in KAT profile, and that one that was made had problems with warped spacebars.Hmmm I can see troubles there already but we'll see.
Uhhh... I can't throw the idea just like that. I would have to think about it. But maybe the most recognizable symbol about that game is green beret hat, so it can be used as a winkey for example... there are a lot other ideas too.Yes please, any ideas... just throw at me just like that!
Judging by how long 88 Commando took to get any progress in production, I feel like your setting yourself up for some "the year 2020..." jokes :p
love it - still hopeful for the previous commando run to have some extras.... but will def pick this up as well

Oh no. No. NO! Please don't make fun of my GB!
Joking aside, I was too naive and dumb before running the SA Valentine and 88 Commando. I hope some lessons learned there could help me organize this better.
Should I rename it to Commando 2024 just in case? NO!

that dark numeric row render is really nice. the render uses black font for the f-keys but that hasn't been mocked as one of the kits. i think i like black font on green keys for f-row over white font on green keys. and the yellow/gold font is a great add-on.
Haha all good! Commando 2020 has a great ring to it
welcome back!
More clumsy renders...I like the mockup pics. I will most likely join 2020’s gb when it occurs. I recall you feel you are more prepared if this becomes a gb. W/ that said, what do you think the estimated turnaround aka shipment for it will be. W/ SP’s long backlog of SA sets, have you considered working with MAXKEYS? Just asking b/c they fixed their font issue, their SA sets are great quality, & their production turnaround is quicker. Also, I have an off topic question, do you have any future plans for Commando in DSA or XDA profile?Show Image(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/VwjNYuafeTLzarD_sTwXsl7xbFV1Vcs82pW2CRf21VU2k1kMOGVhMvUDmeNWGTrCfoDGX32fyg=w1280)Show Image(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/fiq41R-0lARlYGM4wLO8t8keNIsEv1V3GuaGvUr87A83PgieP420D8eFkaM0OA_kSe9AyfipOg=w1280)

Thanks, for the response, I’d be in for a DSA set if you decided to run one. Believe DSA sets are produced quicker too. Either way, I like your sets & look forward to what you have next.More clumsy renders...I like the mockup pics. I will most likely join 2020’s gb when it occurs.

Shipment (from SP to me) will take around one year from the moment I pay SP for the order, if nothing happens.
Talking about better preparation for this GB, I did learn to make the vector files (for new legends) myself so if there's any issues with those I could fix immediately. Compatible issues of vector files was the main reason for 88 Commando's delay. This time I will make it right from the beginning and there should be only minor adjustments needed to be done if there's any.
Social life is better than ever and I have much more free time for the mechkey things. Things will be done faster.
Now I have to think about how to provide the kits so that I could handle it with lesser possibly problems.
DSA is an interesting profile. I did one GB in DSA family before (for the Valentine keyset) and the logistics for it was so much easier than for the SA Valentine. DSA Commando? It's possible!
I have no plans of running GBs with MAXKEYS currently. It's really good to know they're improving the quality of their products. I can have more options for future projects, it's great.
Nice, I like the additional kits!

Good day, just noticed, I am a 40% MKB user; however, I don’t use an ortho mkb; w/ that said, is there a way the ortho kit can be offered as a universal 40% kit or just offer a separate 40% kit. That way, all 40% mkb users (jd40, minivan, etc) can buy it as opposed to just a specific ortho kit?

Any possiblity TKL mods n alphas be broken in two kits? Also no more Russkie kit??
Like it, would love a staggered 40% kit. Also, any plans for an alternate alpha set or no plans to go as big as 88 Commando w/ it's kit options this time?

Sadly no. It should go as a TKL kit.

Yes actually there's a plan for a follow-up GB if the first one's successfully done, and there will be some more colors (and maybe a special set).
What is color codes for this set? same as commando 88 ?
