The company you backed used the money to finish a different game.
(And started with some art commisions, so Elli did get some of that money, for the art she delivered.)
They lost all rights when the weren't able to finish the game at a certain deadline, and the rights reverted to Ellipsis.
Sorry, you were scammed, and Elli was scammed too.
Ellipsis tried to make the game herself, but so far hasn't realeased a full version, AFAIK.
Last I remember that I read, in her "final" version she ran into a showstopper regarding playing.
Playing a certain character and playstyle apparently ensured your victory.
That's unbalanced.
Life has a habit of changing a lot of things, so Elli has different priorities right now.
Most art Elli created for the game is published though, see my signature.
That thread is also a repository of tweets about that topic I collected, althoug discontinued at a certain point.
edit to add: the blog post (referred to in one of the first posts in the other thread) address has changed :
