Azara's Fist Arc 1: Episodes 8-10 Production Delays
Hello friends,
We wanted to share a quick update on the next few episodes.
The next three releases are going to be delayed. This project isn't our full-time work, and while we love making it, we also want to be honest about what's happening behind the scenes. Our editor recently started a new job (which we're thrilled about), but it's been more demanding than expected, and he hasn't had the time needed to shape the episodes the way they deserve.
We're disappointed too—and more than anything, we don't want a rushed or subpar experience to be what you hear when you press play. The good news: we're actively working on bringing on a dedicated editor for Arc 2 so this doesn't happen again. In the meantime, we'll do our best to share some behind-the-scenes content while we get everything back on track.
If you're looking for a bit more to dig into, we already have additional content available on our Patreon. Thanks for sticking with us and giving us the space to get this right. We appreciate you more than you know.
See you soon!

New Bonus Content! Legend Lore - Hellsdivers Game Design
Take Two, apologies everyone. We had a little issue with our audio on the upload where Shawn's voice is significantly quieter than Justin's. It didn't sound that way in the editor or in the MP4 export. It seems to have just been an issue with the MP3 export. All should be fixed once you can see this message in the description.
Hello! And welcome to our newest bonus content format: Legend Lore! Shawn Banerjee takes us behind the screen with DM Justin Lane to talk about the inspiration and mechanics behind episode 1.04 Hellsdivers!
This week, we are a little behind on our episode release to the main feed, so we have decide to push it back one week and drop this instead! This edition of Legend Lore will be posted on the free Patreon tier and the main feed, but future episodes will be hosted at our $5 tier and up. Join now at http://patreon.com/amateurishproductions and don't miss out!
Special shoutout this week to our friend Brendan (@BrenBreadBear) over at 1000 Years on the Path for helping with some of the earliest inspirations and ideas for Hellsdivers! Check out their Pathfinder campaign wherever pods are cast. https://1000yearspath.buzzsprout.com/

Azara's Fist Episode 1.04: Hellsdivers
Call in the Hellsdivers! When an army of undead rises, the only way to protect the material plane is to send in the elite fighting force of the lower planes. Gee, I sure hope Buckley doesn't have anyone he cares about in this small mountain village next to the site of one of the most brutal battles in recorded history...
