Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row.

That being said, I absolutely loved their designs, so revamped novelties like that could happen again later. Personally I'd be more than thrilled and supportive if someone wanted to do a full novelty kit like Engicoder did with Rad Hard for Nuclear Data by Sam/Matt30. I'd even provide the fonts and graphics I've gathered to work with. While some designers may flip out if anyone comes close to their colors even, I love the idea of the community adding onto this set if someone is inspired enough to do so. I did it for the community in the first place after all!
As far as forum kits specifically go, I just wasn't really feeling it this go around, so I didn't make new ones. I know people love them, hell they were the best looking novelties on the last one (all Engicoder there!), but sometimes I feel like they can lead to or promote even more of a schism between the forums, in a very small way of course.
Every year that passes I learn to appreciate all of the forums more and more, and would really rather come up with a cool way to represent the enthusiast community as a whole rather than as small sects. Now feel free to commence laughing because I obviously thought way too hard about the novelty keys this time around =P
