The game just has too many problems and there isn’t much in terms of content for you to get to grips with and this means that any enjoyment you get is incredibly short-lived. Heroes, monsters, equipment, events, magic and skills, traps and devices, shrines and altars, Goddesses and merchants. At the end of the day I so wanted Runestone Keeper to be a success on the Xbox One, but in the end the only feeling I got was that of disappointment. Runestone Keeper is a roguelike dungeon crawler that blends classic RPG elements and turn based strategy. They’ve done a very good job of capturing an old-school feel and when you combine the retro visuals and sound design together they do make things become more enjoyable from time to time. Choose your weapon and begin an epic adventure against monsters, magic, and goddesses as you step into the dark chamber and fight for glory. rune-keeper healers in particular have lots of heal-over-time abilities and other tricks that ought to make life easier for minstrels in groups and raid content. Summary: Runestone Keeper is a challenging rogue-like dungeon crawler that blends classic RPG elements and turn-based combat tactics. One of my favourite things about the game is the presentation side of the game, and thankfully no problems occur here. classes dont play themselves so player skill is always a huge factor and one that people tend to omit. The fun factor however dwindles somewhat when you realise that the enemies you face don’t have a decent amount of variety and facing the same enemies time and time again does make things become quite tedious. Without a doubt these problems take away from the good things the game has to offer, and that’s a shame because in terms of the strategy aspects that are present they are actually very good and I definitely had fun planning my next moves. Mechanically it's extremely simple and anyone will be able to get to grips with it. These difficulties consist of unresponsive moments and at times the controls feel a little awkward and you can tell that the game was originally made for PC. Runestone Keeper is a game that may give back as much as you put into it. The following March, Runestone Keeper was released on both the PC and Mac. Runestone Keeper - Runestone Keeper is a challenging roguelike to roguelite dungeon crawler that blends classic role playing elements and turn-based combat strategy. It’s a shame because these aren’t the only problems the game suffers with because you will also have a few difficulties with the controls from time to time. Our flagship game and one of the earliest to have been released on the Steam, Runestone Keeper is a challenging and rewarding dungeon crawler greenlit on Steam in December of 2014. ![]() Some of the technichal issues the game has makes you not want to carry on and one particular issue that affects your progress is potentially game-breaking, which is unforgivable. Speaking about the difficulty curve it will no doubt cause you quite a few problems and when you combine it with the technichal issues the game suffers witth you end up getting frustrated a great deal.

I must admit that I was surprised by the amount of depth that the RPG elements had and if they had a gentler difficulty curve then the elements would’ve been even better. Don’t get me wrong they do get some things right and that’s definitely evident when it comes to the RPG mechanics that have been implemented. I was hoping that would change with the release of Runestone Keeper, but despite it being enjoyable at times it unfortunately suffered with quite a few problems. Unfortunately there hasn’t been an abundance of old-school RPG’s in recent year’s and the one’s that have been released haven’t been the best to say the least.

Their website has attracted 2.5 million people over the course of seven years, coming from search engines and social media sites like Pinterest and Facebook accessed primarily through mobile devices. For Vintage Industrial, their marketing effort is targeted to Internet Marketing, including organically through searches and word-of-mouth. It also means continuing to create a targeted approach to any and all nostalgic marketing efforts. The lesson here is just because there is a large crowd out there drawn to nostalgic products doesn’t mean a company shouldn’t focus on segmenting and understanding how their potential customers look at products and the purchase decision. Targeted Marketing Through Modern Channels To Sell Vintage Products This meant that we had to ensure that the majority of our designs had a feminine component.” While 65% of our end users are men, approximately 70% of the people buying from us are women. As Hankerson noted, they have found a way around this issue: “My wife and the company’s co-owner told me early on that women tend to make the final furniture decisions. However, the company has learned a lot about it customers, including who is buying and what they need to do to consider the unique dilemma they’ve faced with making their designs attractive to the actual decision makers. This has attracted primarily Gen Xers along with Baby Boomers close behind. Their designs have even been featured on television shows like “The Big Bang Theory.” They are definitely creating art with passion and purpose. The team behind the company builds furniture that they love with a design and materials that can last centuries and be passed down from one generation to the next. In 2009, Vintage Industrial started in a garage as a passionate hobby and soon bloomed into something much more. They understand to create art with passion is to live with purpose.” Since so many work, socialize, and live on their computers and devices, they are drawn to the idea of craftsman who have made something with their hands. ![]() He explained, “Technology has taken over our lives and some people want products that remind people of the days when they were not controlled by their devices. ![]() Vintage Industrial Furniture has experienced a similar following and interest from its customers, according to the company’s Co-Founder and Co-Owner Greg Hankerson. As Vlad noted, “It's incredible how many touching stories we get directly from people who buy Candylab products and take a personal interest in our growth and vision.” The toys are not a copy of those from the past but instead have focused on a modern interpretation of the past, which seems to be attracting the Instagram crowd in droves.Īnd, to keep attracting and connecting with this group, the vintage toy maker focuses on digital marketing to keep communications personal. However, the company’s customers are not necessarily from the Boomer generation as most are actually from younger generations, creating a much broader appeal. Vlad also noted that these visceral products come from a time period when life was more comprehensible so there is no need for a huge manual to explain how to use it or extensive setup that requires a significant learning curve and ends up taking away from the actual enjoyment factor. Coupled with the interest in authentic stories, consumers have been drawn to our durable wood toys that reintroduce the idea of imagination and storytelling into play.” When asked why nostalgic products have become so popular, Candylab Toys cofounder and co-owner Vlad Dragusin said, “I think many people have grown tired of the throw-away society like toys that fall apart into a pile of plastic pieces. Then, there’s Vintage Industrial Furniture, which is a Phoenix-based company that hand-builds custom furniture made from steel and wood designed to look like those from the industrial revolution. ![]() This panel will allow you to observe the apps that you need currently.

Quick Fix Zoom Not Working on iPad/iPhone? 3 Ways Fix It Zoom Not Responding on Windows? 4 Solutions Is this a problem you’ve run into on your Mac? Let us know in the comments below.Part 1. The solution provided by the “Pinch” app is only temporary, so hopefully Apple rolls out a permanent fix soon. This is one of the more annoying bugs in macOS right now, especially if you don’t know how to fix it. This is the type of app that shouldn’t need to exist, but I’m glad it does. This is a bug first introduced in Monterey, but unfortunately it has not been fixed after all this time. Sometimes the two finger pinch (pan, zooming) gesture on a Mac trackpad would stop working. Just download the app from GitHub, add it to your menu bar, and click “Fix Pinch Gesture” every time you notice that the two-finger pinch-to-zoom gesture has stopped working. “Pinch” is a simple menu bar application for macOS that runs that Terminal command for you. Same with Force Touch, which has failed for me from time to time ever since the first MacBook with that feature. This is easy enough to do, but if you don’t want to rely on the Terminal app, a new app has emerged courtesy of developer Dan Liu that fixes the problem in one click.ĭisabling and enabling again the gesture in settings has solved it for me. To solve this problem, you need to head to the Terminal application on your Mac, and run the “killall Dock” command. It’s inconsistent, but it’s definitely there and it’s a frustrating when it randomly happens. The bug, however, has existed since the macOS Monterey days. I can’t vouch for this as I don’t use Chrome on a regular basis, but it’s a quirk that makes sense. ![]() Some users say that this bug primarily affects the two-finger pinch-to-zoom gesture in Apple’s apps, not third-party apps like Chrome. The problem not only affects the pinch-to-zoom feature, but also the ability to pan through an image or document. It’s an infuriating bug that occurs without reason, and Apple has yet to address the problem or roll out any sort of fix. I’ll attempt to use the two-finger pinch-to-zoom gesture to zoom in on an image or document, only for nothing to happen. The most common place I experience this issue is in the Preview app. This, of course, is one of the most common gestures on the Mac, so when it stops working, it can really mess up your workflow. While Apple has not rolled out a permanent fix for this problem, a new utility for macOS can fix it with one click… Pinch-to-zoom gesture broken? Try thisĪs noted by a number of Mac users on Apple’s support website and other forums, and experienced by yours truly, this bug affects the popular pinch-to-zoom trackpad gesture. If you use a Mac with a trackpad, you’ve probably experienced a pesky bug that makes one of the most common trackpad gestures unusable. The anecdotal evidence drawn from sources mentions an alchemist called Dzou Yen, who lived in the 4th Century BC and appeared to be highly regarded by royal courts and nobles. Certainly, in 175 BC, an edict was issued threatening any alchemists making counterfeit gold with death, so it seems that alchemy was already established before then. There are some anecdotal accounts that the Chinese interest in alchemy developed in the 4th Century BC. The idea of a drug that can confer immortality appears to stem from the ancient Indian Vedas, from before 1000BC, and it is likely that the Chinese belief developed from there. Ge Hong, an officiel during the Jin Dynasty (263-420), who was interested in Daoism, alchemy, and techniques of longevity (Public Domain) Chinese alchemy was also related closely to the holistic Chinese traditional medicine, with many minerals believed to have healing qualities, a strong difference from the Greek influenced idea that only organic substances could be used for medicines. The Chinese alchemy blended in with their Taoist beliefs and the idea of balance and harmony, one of the many reasons why it took a different course from the western alchemy. ![]() Like western alchemists, the Chinese were obsessed with creating gold but, rather than creating gold for wealth, their obsession was with creating gold of the utmost purity for creating an elixir of life and a way to achieve immortality. This Eurocentric view fails to take into account the work of the Chinese alchemists, who also developed methods for manipulating minerals and altering the state of substances. To most people, this is the alchemy that eventually developed into chemistry, and is often referred to as a protoscience. |
