Dead Matter Dev Tracker

1. Yeah, that's more or less it. We ran with the timeframe on their site, and they needed more time. Left us in a really bad place, but that's on us.

2. I can't really comment any further here. I'm not a web dev, and I'll defer to your expertise here. We were caught in a bad place, and between attacks and just a lotta folks trying to get in, our site was wrecked.

3. We still feel awful about having to shut things down, and we're looking forward to being able to bring our full community back online.

4. We really underestimated just how much our community had grown, and there was a huge silent component we didn't even see until recently. Left us underequipped to handle it when all hell broke loose.

It isn't.

Over 100.

1. We ordered ahead of time. Valve has limits for how many keys you can get at once.
2. We do not have millions of backers.
3. Discord themselves dropped the ball on this. Servers must request an upgrade once they have more than 25k users online. We attempted to contact them about this repeatedly in the runup to the launch of the CA, and they didn't respond until we had to shut our server down and then the development team collectively entered a Discord employee's server and ask them to up it. This still took nearly 24 hours to be done.
4. $2M is really not a lot in game development.

We are not. While you are able to 'buy' on the site, the purchase will be rejected.

Thanks for chiming in. I know we've done a lot wrong over the last several days, but it's still really appreciated.

You've been doing this for a while now.

No

Anyone that backed for a key will get a key.

As I'm sure you all have noticed, our site is down once again. At peak last night, we were fielding over half a million requests per minute, and even now site load is way higher than anticipated. We are doing everything in our power to get the site back online. However, we do not currently have an ETA on the website coming back up - the people who handle our backend are not all available to work on the site right this moment, though as soon as they can be, they'll be back to work on it. Once the site is back up, and we can verify that backers are getting and redeeming the keys we have assigned on the site, we will distribute more.

• We will post another soft announcement (without pinging everyone) once the site is back up, and post an update on Twitter to the same effect. We cannot guarantee when this will be, unfortunately.

• Due to the spam and general vitriol being posted on our forums, we have also locked it down to read only for the time being. Mu...
