I guess I'll take this opportunity since the thread has already been bumped to answer some questions. I was originally waiting until I had more to provide a substantial update, but I'll provide a quick update just so you all know that this IC isn't dead.
The reason I didn't want to bump this thread was that it seemed like the majority of the feedback I got from my IC was that people were waiting for the novelties and deskmat, so I was planning on updating once those were finished.
Things are moving along. I've talked to vendors, the first draft of the novelties are currently being made. I'll be putting up a color comparison on the main IC page soon. Hopefully, I'll have a huge update by the end of the month.
To answer the question of Katakana in the base kit, I will think about it. My initial reasoning for having katakana separated from the base is because Klee is from Mondstadt, and the area in the game based on Germany. Because of that, I felt like Latin alphas in the base kit made more sense. Since the majority of players I have interacted with, as well as myself, use the Japanese dub, I thought having a Katakana as an optional alpha kit would make sense. 75% of the responses on my IC seemed to prefer Katakana over Cangjie, so that will likely be final. However, I am still debating whether or not to add it to the base kit and have optional Latin alphas or not.
This is where I'm at currently. Thank you to anyone who has filled out my IC form and for all the support and criticisms that I've received thus far. As always,
my discord is the place where you will get the most up-to-date news on my set.
I'll take the rest of this point to reply to some comments:
agree with the comment that Japanese sublegends are out of place since the game is Chinese
as for kitting, the base kit should also include a R1 equals sign (for the numpad), at least one 1.5u R4 Code key, and at least one 1.5u R4 Function key
other than that the colors look nice even if quite similar to classic red
Originally, I removed it since I thought people could just use the 1.5u alt/controls, but upon further inspection, it might be something I'm interested in adding but I have yet to make a decision. Thank you for the feedback!
Love the colors and especially the accents. I wanted to make a set like this work about a year and a half ago, but couldn't figure out the colors for the community's preferences at the time. Your choice of off-white as an accent is fun, although it might benefit from a touch more contrast against WS1. It may also be slightly too creamy, while WS1 is too cold. I'm not sure though.
I don't think Rubinrot is exactly the same as the P3 used in GMK Classic Red, but because your set lacks novelties or a deskmat you inevitably end up with those comparisons. I think they will disappear as you develop more original content for your set. Looking forward to hearing about those.
From what I've seen Bachoo is a real one, so you must be too.
I'm sure you'll knock this out!
I've been looking into making the ivory a little stronger. I haven't landed on an exact color I want yet (or whether I want to change it at all), but it's definitely something I'm thinking about. As for WS1, I think whether or not I change it will be based on my decision with the ivory. Thank you for your positive comments!
Looks great, any chance for a Canadian vendor?
Yep! There will indeed be a Canadian vendor.
Once again, thank you all. I'll hopefully be back soon with a huge update
