So far final testing has resulted in some weird lighting issues being fixed, some typos being squashed, making a few of the puzzles a little less annoying, and (checks notes) making the whole ass end credits not disappear completely in low intensity mode

I should probably work on a release trailer for Pavane while testing is ongoing but then I have to… collect footage…. AUgh 🫩

3 out of 4 endings done and I decided to do the credits in engine so I can a) make slight changes depending on the ending you got and b) so I can make a version for low-intensity mode without adding to the filesize

QZ Productions @qzproductions.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
yes I know creating multiple map layers with small variants is going to blow up the file size of the game a bit but IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE IT'S GOING TO LOOK REALLY FREAKING COOL I PROMISE

QZ Productions @qzproductions.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
2 out of 4 of Pavane's endings are complete!! Road map for the final beta build's completion: -Finish remaining endings -Make a credits sequence -Implement and test new game plus features -Do a preliminary spellcheck -Create a build -???? -Profit!

RenPy is extremely silly about displaying images simultaneously while the text draws lmao
A screenshot of code showing a lot of images being displayed while text is on screen and it involves repeating the whole line with {nw}, {done}, and {fast} tags and it's low key ridiculous

QZ Productions @qzproductions.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I may or may not be sitting on a teaser trailer for Elysian but Imma make sure I'm happy with how the new artwork got put in and actually make a proper thumbnail before I release it lmao @meaka.bsky.social is a legend btw (totally not related nope 👀)

When you write a character so nasty every letter you type of their dialogue makes you want to bash their skull in with a brick (I've written quite a few of these actually)

Another set of CGs from the fabulous @confleiks.bsky.social! She actually sent a lot more than these but uh. Spoilers and all. What sort of mysterious ritual is our heroine performing? What's the tea being spilled with Abigail? And what's with the fox? #otome #VN #renpy #gamedev #indiegames #vndev
A CG depicting a red fox. The text says: "Sarah: A... fox?"A CG depicting the main character in ornate robes holding up a mirror. The text says: "Sarah: With this holy mirror in my hand, I command you: Begone, foul specter, to the void from which you came!"A CG depicting the main character and Abigail chatting over tea. The text says: "I lean in a bit closer in spite of myself. Even I'm not immune to the allure of gossip and drama, I guess."A CG depicting a girl in a purple cloak sitting against a window forlornly. The text says: "High priest: It's all right. Take your time. I can tell something truly heavy is weighing on your heart, something that's difficult for you to open up about."

when corporate needs you to tell the difference between these two images
Melody inspecting a red radio on a countertop. Her inner monologue reads, "A radio... Can this thing even get a signal here?")that one part in Silent HIll where Harry goes "Huh? Radio? What's going on with that radio?". The radio is also red. Coincidence?

I finally recorded this lmao I knew I’d never be totally happy with the end result since I hate listening to myself on recording but I can settle for “good enough” and “the distortion on the track will hide the flaws only I can perceive anyway”

QZ Productions @qzproductions.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Pavane lore drop I guess
(Melody would have absolutely been in the "ew scene kids, I only listen to REAL music" while waving around her... idk Julliard scholarship or whatever)
(of course she now cringes at that mindset)
(I like to think she was a little pretentious as a teenager since she grew up in a household that lived and breathed classical)
(but she would have quickly outgrown that)

"Go ahead," I said, "make an opera piece a part of the game's story," I said, "it makes perfect narrative sense and you're a mezzo soprano you can totally hit those notes," I said and then I picked Habanera from Carmen in my hubris. you know. the one that's sung in FRENCH

How did I add a softlock where there wasn’t one before? I thought it’d be neat to have Melody walk away from locked doors but fucked up the movement route so she just walks into the door like a dumbass and just stays there “Skip if unable to move” is your friend kids!!!

Entity Encounter: Mirror Game
Finishing up the third Entity Encounter. It clearly won't leave poor Melody alone, even in the restroom - but perhaps she has even greater reason to fear the distorted images of herself in the mirror....

One thing you'll probably notice when you play the full version of Pavane is that a vast majority of the school will be open to you from the get go, so you may be able to acquire items and solve some puzzles that don't pay off until later. And when "new" things appear as the story progresses (cont)

Quick Pavane progress summary: -Main scenario is about 75% complete. -11 out 16 planned mementos now obtainable. -All but 4 maps planned for the main school area are complete and functional. (This does not include planned endgame maps) -13 out of 20 planned music tracks complete.
