I think the gray could be darker but otherwise very well thought out, novelties are great.

Thank you, I'm happy you like the novelties

[hali]

kits don't feel very organized, unaccented 40s, minor ortho, and extra enters in bars while base has proper legend compatibility for most keys?

I've been told colors add price/ moq or something so i kept red out of non base kits.
Major ortho and 40s is in base while correct legends for lesser used layouts and non accented options.

I feel like the color is a bit washed out, grey could be darker and yellow and red could be deeper, also i think you should include the numpad into the base kit since the trade off wouldnt be worth it



Also is it just me or this set remind me of the GMK Drift Legend from last month KEKW

yeah I agree, look up any caution signage and it uses deeper blacks and all around less grayed colors

I know this is a deviation from the reference but I think the reference here is doing a better job with colors

The colors were actually inspired by the CAT vehicles. The stickmen came after and the name was decided 20 minutes before IC. I believe it doensn't matter. What matters is how it looks, not how it resembles the inspiration.

I mean if you quoted the rest of the comment it would have answered what you say at the end.

i personally think the title of a set and it’s references do matter especially when the signage of the novelties very specifically make us think of less grayed out colors

anyways i think the kit renders just literally look hazy and faded and it could be tweaked

[AASH]

Very excellent set but gmk bad you know the drill.
/j keep up the good work bregoli I keep this in my "good sets" bookmark

[pdpete]

Great set but imo yellow and red is too faded. Doesnt really reflect the bright colours of caution signs

If "Caution" is supposed to be based off of traffic signs then I would suggest upping the intensity of the colors. As people have mentioned above they look washed out in the renders.

[WaynaPawiasek]

all colors need more saturation, otherwise a great set. Novelties look good, there could be  a diagonally striped black & yellow spacebar (like a caution tape)!

Inspiration =/= colors for this set, Colors were first, Novelties came after. I find Saturated colors don't work as well as the more muted colors I currently have, even if they fit the theme more.

[pdpete]

Make no mistake its an amazing set. But when i look at it "caution" is probably the last thing that comes to mind

In the end it's just my opinion

Personally I think the colors are a bit too close to GMK PITP.

I think this is the true danger of posting colors in an IC and you are a fool if you don’t see that.

Have you reached out to the designer of GMK PITP to see if they are ok with you riding the coat tails of their successful IC?

Anyway GLWIC I guess........

I'm glad you brought this up. This was one of my biggest fears when posting this IC. Shown below I have a side by side comparison of the 2 Sets and while I do agree that they bear a resemblance, I think they differ from eachother slightly. As you can see, GMK PITP uses brown text while I use grey text.



Also I have contacted Sir SlipperyPeteED to work out any problems that might arise with him (shown below). He is currently talking with his legal team and will write back within 48 hours. Until I get a response, this set will be on hold!

[hwood34]

echoing what everyone else has said, this really doesn't remind me much of "Caution", I think alternating black/yellow stripes across the set would be a much better fit for the theme

Inspiration =/= colors for this set, Colors were first, Novelties came after. I find Saturated colors don't work as well as the more muted colors I currently have, even if they fit the theme more.

then why not change the theme/name? just pick something that better represents the colors you've chosen

I mean if you quoted the rest of the comment it would have answered what you say at the end.

you double posted and only the second comment had your last point

Caution signs are yellow and black, the novelties have stickmen like in the caution signs, The set is Yellow and black.
Who cares if the shade of yellow isn't the same? I don't look at GMK striker and think "This reminds me of football".
Name doesn't matter as much as people think it does, and the name for this set fits enough. I don't see a name change suddenly making this a "better" set.

I mean if you're going to be this defensive about it, why even have an IC? just go straight to GB if you feel so confident.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as defensive, I like feedback, but mostly when it regards the set itself. What I'm trying to understand is why people are picky about the name instead of the looks of the set.

you're fine lol. but I think you're misunderstanding if you assume people are focused solely on the name. more that you presented a theme that people were into, and they're just disappointed that the actual set doesn't mesh with those expectations. it's a fine set by itself, but better aligning with the theme would make it a more unique and distinctive thing.

[dimo]

dozens of comments later and you’re still severely underestimating the power of a title and why it’s such a blaring weirdness to open an IC and have a set not match your expectations

if you say it’s based off CAT vehicles why doesn’t the title just reference that

yellow alpha kit?

[Bregoli]

Ok, I give in, I think i understand what y'all are saying! Ill change the name to something else. 

[kiwoli]

Novelties are fun.
In danger of beating a dead horse, but caution is pantone 809 or bust

Swiss board made gray made me lol.

yellow alpha kit?

It's something I was eyeing but I didn't want to add it since its another kit and there are already 5. Might be difficult to make moq!

[Bregoli]

Changed the name to fit the Theme more, I hope this fixes any issues some people had with this set name!

[treeleaf64]

The treeleaf is watching out and paying attention

[Bregoli]

also i think you should include the numpad into the base kit since the trade off wouldnt be worth it

Numbpad in base would make it too expensive/big. The way it is now it supports most >=TKL's including orthos & Alice with proper legend compatibility for most. I think adding ortho and 40s into base makes it compatible with more boards than if I were to remove ortho & 40s support and add numbpad (Although I do not have any statistics, just a mere guess )

[cugloo]

I love the colors man. I'm in!

[honorless]

intriguing kitting idea and hilarious novelties.

I'm warming up to the colorway. If it was less muted that'd definitely be a hard no, but this I might be into. Have you considered using GMK 2B for your gray? (Maybe it's too light...)

Thank you! Yes, 2b is too light. I tried to substitute a color with a GMK color but none fit.

Just noticed the Swiss render.
