This is my first attempt at creating a keyset. I
figured entering MD’s Keycap Set Design Contest would be a
good start. I realize the competition will be tough, but if
there is enough interest I will continue DSA Season of the
Witch as a traditional IC if it doesn’t win.
While DSA
SOTW didn’t win, it was in good company. I feel it fared
well in the contest. I’m really happy for all the feedback
I’ve received so far and I’d like to continue to develop it.
Bare with me. I’m trying to learn how this whole process
works as I go. I wanted to give a better idea of what the
keyset would look like so, for now, added is a render by
u/janglad of DSA SOTW on a TKL (Mech27-TKL by 27).

Massdrop poll is up. Vote
here! Updated 2018-02-24
Kits are also updated
now. Feedback welcome. Updated 2018-02-24
Hello. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, things have been
slow going for the past few months. This has been due to
family matters stacking up during the spring semester. I
assure you I haven’t dropped the project. Apologies for the
silence. Some of you have asked about the project’s status.
Massdrop will be planning keysets for late 2018/early 2019
and the present aim is for DSA Season of the Witch to find
its way into a slot during that timeframe. Is there a backup
plan if this doesn’t happen? Yes. But first things first.
Let’s have a shot at dropping this via Massdrop, shall we?
Updated 2018-06-15
Apologies are in order. The
long hiatus has been due to family matters taking up much
more time than expected. Among them, the worst being the
family trauma when my son fell severely ill, which nearly
cost him his life. I’m so happy to be able to say that he’s
still with us today and doing well despite his injuries. I
realize I should’ve made some kind of public notification
about keyset development being halted and for this I
apologize. I’d like to get back in the saddle with this and
would like to do so by starting off with a poll to gather
community feedback on kit design. I have worked on this with
a glacial pace in the background, but feel like I’m at a
point when some critical choices need to be made and I’d
like your input to better visualize in which direction I
should steer the keyset.
Take the poll here. I’ll keep it active for a month from today’s date.

Major kit revision. Mono
alphas with an optional kit for secondary numerics. Alphas,
modifiers and secondary numerics support ISO UK.
Consequently the NORDE kit has fewer keys. Ortho and 40s are
one single kit. The Ergodox kit also supports the UniGo66.
The second ALT key is replaced with ALT GR consistently
throughout all kits. Vortex and Minila keyboards supported
as a separate kit. Please note that the kit images are
downloaded .png files from KLE and as such are meant first
and foremost to illustrate the kit layouts rather than being
correct renders of key profile and legend sizes. The aim is
to add novelties in a couple of weeks. The kit layout poll
will close 2019-04-29. Updated 2019-04-18
Everything is moving ahead. Proxies are ready for the
EU (mykeyboard.eu), the US (TKC) and Australia (Daily
Clack). I’ve gotten a first quote from Melissa at Signature
Plastics. An Asian proxy is hopefully underway soon. Work on
novelties will hopefully start during this week. I closed
the poll a few days later than planned because I forgot
about it. I’ve gone through your responses and hope I have
addressed most in kit rev. 2 already, but there’ll be a few
more tweaks down the road as well. We have exciting times
ahead! Updated 2019-05-13
A quick update on
what’s been going on backstage. Proxy is ready for Asia
(iLouis). OutragedPudding is working on a couple of
novelties. Planning more renders from Oblotzky. Looking into
offering an artisan raffle as part of the GB. Kits have
undergone a few changes and will be up later. The major one
being combining the Modifiers kit with the Extension kit.
Working on kit pricing. Hope you guys are enjoying summer!
Be back with you soon for more updates.

Hello. DSA SOTW is still
alive. Here is the long awaited novelties update. This is a
keyset that would’ve felt awkward to release without
novelties. Commissioning novelties took quite some time as
the work had to pass hands and real life troubles caused
delays. Now they are here and I hope you’ll feel it’s been
well worth the wait. OutragedPudding has done one hell of a
job to translate two iconic images from the movie Halloween
III, the jack-o’-lantern and the silver shamrock, to
doubleshot ABS novelties. Final kit renders by Oblotzky will
be added soon. They are getting their final tweaks and with
the novelties here, we should be all set to move towards
the final countdown [sings Europe in falsetto].

Back from the grave! And
with Halloween just around the corner, what better
opportunity to unleash the final renders by Oblotzky upon
the living! Also, deep apologies for going on a hiatus
without prior notice. It’s been a heavy year, nothing
Covid-19 related, but still very much heavy and tiring. From
this point on, I’ll resume talks with Signature Plastics and
resellers. I think a Halloween release would’ve been
awesome, but insanely hard to time right so that was never
on the horizon. A related artisan drop was something I
really wanted from the very start, but at this point I just
feel it could risk pushing a planned GB even further into
the future. Still, I hope you’ll feel that this update is in
the spirit of the season of the witch. Stay safe! The veil
is thin! Updated 2020-10-25
