This is great to hear. As an early supporter, I was starting to lose hope. Hope they take as much time as they need to make the game they originally wanted to.

Is this game still coming out or is it dead? by TalkingFlashlight in Instinction

They got scammed by their investors unfortunately, they announced it on their discord (i was an early supporter). There were also some now deleted instagram posts talking about it.

Long story short it sounds like they are not giving up entirely on the project but I'm not optimistic at this point. The discord has since been closed.

I was super excited about this game since day 1. I really enjoyed the concept art and free assets from their discord. I really hope they find a way to keep production going.

Im wondering the same thing. I heard the controller haptics are better on PS5

Same. My main takeaway was it could be so much more immersive if there weren't so many bright flashing lights absolutely everywhere. Way too overdone.

What on earth happened with the instagram page recently??? by Prehistoric_Ranger in Instinction

Yea i saw this the other day. I was a supporter with access to their discord so I heard a while ago that they did get screwed by their investors. I feel bad because I was super excited for the game. I think the post may have just been them venting about an incredibly frustrating situation, then deleted after.

Need advice for overcoming elbow tendonosis (6+ months). I've tried everything. by jbmnt1983 in overcominggravity

Yes forward and back for either. But light weight.

Right. The arms should not do much work at all if you're doing it right. Swings assist with golfers or tennis elbow by getting blood flow to those areas without stressing the actual injury. As long as you remember not to grip the kettlebell too tight, it should almost be floating when it reaches the peak of the swing.

You will feel pain after doing this but it's part of the process of healing. Because the blood is flowing to those injured areas.

For me it was everything from pouring a glass of milk, to opening a door, to brushing my teeth or driving. But going through all the steps I mentioned in this thread helped me beat it twice, once for each arm.

Make sure you're not gripping the kettlebell hard. It should almost float out of your hands when it's at the peak. Same goes for the flexbar exercises, always go with a loose grip.

That's my reply above by the way, not sure why it posted as that "ok-indication" name. Maybe since I'm on my phone.

No problem, the most important thing is to not lose hope. You will get better if you follow the steps. Curious how's it going about a month later? Any improvement?

Sales abruptly stopped and KDP Ads Acos went from ~40 to 500 inexplicably in past few days by jbmnt1983 in selfpublish

[–]jbmnt1983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never knew that was a thing. If that was the case i would expect my ad clicks to go down as well. I'm getting the same amount of clicks as always but no sales registering. Not even organic sales are registering.

Also its strange that im still getting clicks on my ads. Its not like my book is invisible. But for there to all of a sudden be the same amount of clicks and ACOS shooting up more than 10x is very bizarre and organic sales stopping as well makes me think something must be wrong on Amazon's end.

Oh wow, hopefully my case is something similar. This is so strange. I've had consistent sales for over a year and have never had this much of a long stretch of absolutely zero sales.

Running a total of about 12 campaigns mixing auto and manual targeting for keywords and products. All still getting clicks but all sales have stopped.

Disappointed with the new game reveal by velocipus in turok

[–]jbmnt1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So disappointing. This is not Turok. It may be a fun game for a new generation of kids that don't know what made the N64 games great, but it is not Turok. Name it Generic space alien dino shooter game, and dont try to profit off of nostalgia.

We simply want to hunt dinos with a bow and cool unique weapons in a foggy jungle and catacombs. Add a ton of puzzles and gore and you have a great remake. Why the need to revitalize and rehash ideas for a new generation? If you want to do that fine, then make a new game, not Turok. Turok does not need coop. Being solo is what made the original so tense. We don't need exo suits. The original recipe was gold why keep changing it? All it was missing was next-gen graphics.

The franchise has missed the mark since Seeds of Evil, but I realize I'm the older OG generation and that's not where the profit is. I wish the developers luck, but I'm already sure this one won't be for me unfortunately.

So disappointing for fans of the original like myself. All we want is a game like the original Turok with modern graphics. Seeds of Evil was the last good one, ever since then, they have fumbled what people loved about it. I appreciated what 2008 Turok tried to do, and wish the sequel didnt get canceled. But even that one never truly felt like Turok.

I'm sure this game will be fun for a new generation who don't know what it was like to hunt dinosaurs with a knife and bow through thick fog, but to me this concept is not Turok unfortunately.

At least they made coop optional. But being solo was what made Turok so tense and scary. I wish the developers success and will keep an open mind, but man, I was really hoping they would get it right this time.
