Release 0.14.0 (Patreon)

Hey everyone! We just wanted to drop some news on today’s 0.14.0 release.

So far we have been funding Infinite Backlog out of our own pocket. While this has worked fine up to this point, the scope of the site is growing and with our 1.0 release on the horizon we’re going to need additional funding to keep adding new features and network integrations. We will always stick to our main principle: we’re not in it to earn money; we want to offer an awesome place for all gamers and we’re not going to put any core features behind a paywall. Ads would have been the easiest solution but we hate them and don’t want to soil our awesome platform with those nasty things. So we’re going for a non-intrusive solution: Patreon.

So today, we’re rolling out a new class system so those of you who love Infinite Backlog can support us in making it even more awesome. In return, you’ll get bragging rights and a few small perks.

Backlog Slayer (€1 / month)

• Class recognition on leaderboards and profile
• Exclusive look at upcoming features on Patreon

Backlog Legend (€3 / month)

• Class recognition on leaderboards and profile
• Profile displayed on the ‘Backlog Legends’ page
• Exclusive look & vote on upcoming  features on Patreon

For more information, check the class page: https://infinitebacklog.nl/unlock-class/

The above rewards will be available immediately and you can expect the first sneak peak at new features coming in the next major release somewhere in the coming weeks! This won’t be all though! We haven’t settled on it yet, but we will release some Legends-only app features in the near-future.

Again: we’re not in it for the money, we’re just looking for a way to help fund the costs for everything that comes with running a social gaming site: servers, databases, external APIs, domain, the whole lot. It is completely optional, but every little bit helps us!
