Death's Door Prods is an independently owned entertainment/journalism website. Founded about a year ago, the Death's Door team has done what it can to bring you the best possible news, reviews, editorials and podcasts about video games, movies, comics and anime that we possibly can. However, we want to do better.
The purpose of this RocketHub is to make us a better site. We will be using the money raised for better audio/video equipment, like mics and capture cards, to produce better podcasts and commentaries for games and movies. It will go to our webmaster to help make the server costs a little more bearable. And it will go towards finding designers to make the site more appealing and more functional for users.
If we get over 100% fueled, we will be using that money for promoting the site. Buying ad spaces and such to bring in more people. It will also help pay for (in the future at least) any merchandise we make. Any and all fuelers will get prices cut off of anything they buy.
We know that we don't really have any right to ask for money, and we don't really expect to get much, if any. But any contribution will be greatly appreciated by us and we will do whatever we can with it to make the best possible content we can.
