Hopefully, backers will eventually get their keys, otherwise this is just plain ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to them.Astria Ascending is a 2021 role-playing game developed by Artisan Studios and published by Dear Villagers. Until today when i saw the feed that they acknowledge that not all keys have been sent and i thought damn it, i was wrong this thread is vital to letting people know what ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is going on. Since it did happened to me for a few games that i had backed on kickstarter, a few days later, i think the longest i had waited for 2 weeks.

I was probably one of the clowns early on though since i figure it was the usual ♥♥♥♥ where a indie coy is being overwhelmed and eh, the key would probably be sent over the next few days, i finished the game 3 days later and figure, u know what, i bet this thing would calm down by the end of may, 2 weeks feels reasonable for everything to be resolved. I don't think there's any precedent at all for buying a key or backing a project for a game and waiting over a month and half for fulfilment post-launch. Like, how can they be Ok with this sort of thing? Jesus, seeing the latest update, this is just ridiculous The sad thing is how many 'clown' points the OP is getting, along with the people in this thread defending or being apologists for the dev's incompetence.
