Haunt Design Kit needs YOUR help.

We need your help!

As you may know, HauntDesignKit.com has made huge improvements over the last couple of months and we've continued to offer free, quality information and downloads to you all. This will not, and ever, change. However, we have a couple of projects that we'd like to get started on that could really use your help.

First, click here for more info: http://igg.me/at/hdk/x/4395234

You'll notice that we've created an account on Indiegogo to help fund some projects we're working on. Obviously the cost of maintaining HDK's website, file hosting, the very small amount of marketing we do and the creation of new FREE downloads and information for you guys doesn't come cheap. This also keeps us from putting money into new projects that could REVOLUTIONIZE the way we all design our attractions.

Some things include a new how-to DVD focusing on haunt design and using SketchUp that will be a first of it's kind in the industry; no joke. We're also working on a shockingly cool new app that will really help your designs....can't say much more on that yet. The funding will also help develop cool new downloads that will be free on the site.

Needless to say, we REALLY need your help to get these projects off the ground. But we only have 60 days to raise the money! So, if you can contribute money to the projects that would be awesome (and might I add there are some cool perks that come along with that)...but if you can't you can STILL HELP! Please share this page and share our Indiegogo page to all your friends and help us get the projects funded.

Thank you and Happy Haunting from HDK...oh, here's that link again! http://igg.me/at/hdk/x/4395234

Haunt Design Kit.com recently featured in Funworld Magazine

If you've ever worked in the theme/amusement park industry...or any relative industry. Than you have heard someone talking about the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions, or, IAAPA. IAAPA is best known for it's large amusement conference that's held in Orlando every year in November that boasts all the latest in amusement park merchandise and ride equipment.

Members of IAAPA, if you're not you should be, are subscribed to a trade magazine called FUNWORLD. Funworld is a monthly magazine with all the latest news and announcements from the entertainment (attractions) industry. You can also find all kinds of cool ads from the companies who build your favorite roller coasters. It's a great magazine to flip through.

Recently HDK was featured in an article/interview about the growing haunted house industry and the importance of quality design....and how to use 3D modeling software, like Google SketchUp, to achieve such design. If you have the magazine, we're on page 14.

We were honored to be asked to be featured in the magazine. HDK has been growing non-stop since we launched earlier this year and the future of HDK is looking very bright.
