Progress continues on the Rapax Rift Map for #Wizardry 8. Needed to restart large areas twice since I messed up on some distancing, but it is starting to take shape. With so many interior locations I am expecting this one take at least a couple more weeks.

Sorry about the lack of updates. I was still fighting with my computer as I learned the update that broke the game for me was only adding to an underlying hardware issue. I think I got it fixed now, so I'm just starting to map out the next dungeon now. Expect at least a week or two before it's done.

Crimson Tear @crimsontear.com · 01/09/2026

The Wizardry 8 Mountain Wilderness Map has been finally finished! This area was a massive undertaking to map out, especially since part of the Rapax Rift is on the map. The next area with be the last retro dungeon. #Wizardry #RetroGame 👾 🎮 💻

Just a heads up that I can't work on the Wizardry 8 guide until I find out why it no longer runs. Don't know if it is a Microsoft update that broke it or if something on my computer is causing it, but until I can get it working no other updates will be completed.

Crimson Tear @crimsontear.com · 21/08/2026

I must have cursed my luck last week as a recent windows update caused me to lose most of my progress on the map this week. I will see how far I can get this weekend, but I am likely another week out at best.

Crimson Tear @crimsontear.com · 15/08/2026

Actually made pretty good time on the Mountain Wilderness map for #Wizardry 8. Still have a lot to add, including the underground areas, but it is already looking so much better.

Crimson Tear @crimsontear.com · 11/08/2026

That was a lot of walls to map out, but (hopefully) the hardest part of the Mountain Wilderness map has been finished. I know there are a lot of new textures to create, so I expect at least a couple more weeks of work on this one.

The Wilderness Clearing (without Rapax) and the overworld layers of the Away Camp are complete. Still have the inside buildings layer (which includes some items visible in the over layer) to complete, so I'd expect about a week before it's ready. #Wizardry #GameMaps #FantasyMaps 🎮👾🖥️

What does it look like when I'm playing #Wizardry 8 to gather and test information for the guide? An extremely high level solo Faerie Bishop screaming through insane battles, but analyzing everything like they are specimins in a lab. That one fight gave that little Fae 784247 XP.

Been working a new phoenix for the last few weeks to replace the current logo for @crimsontear.com. Trying to make it closer to the old one but much higher quality. Might still tweak a few things, but I think it's already a huge step from the last one.

Our map of the #Wizardry 8's Sea Caves are finally complete. After the difficulty I had mapping out this one, I can understand why the HLL failed in their hunt for the outlaw. The next map will be the South East Wilderness. Only 10 maps left! 🎮🖥️👾

The Sea Caves are kicking my butt, but I am getting there. The caves and beach is all mapped out and just adding the rocks, slopes, etc. Hopefully I'll be done within this week.

Crimson Tear @crimsontear.com · 15/06/2026

The Sea Caves map is going to take a while. Trying to get everything to line up with the drop downs when mapping out multiple levels with slopes and odd curves are taking longer than expected.

500+ hours playing Wizardry 8 so far since the guide was started. I am sure it will be at least another 200 more before it is done.

The Mt. Gigas Upper Caves Interactive Map is done! I have also started adding a legend to the static maps (since some players would rather a basic maps to referrence for #Wizardry 8.) The next map will be the Mt. Gigas Peak, but I will update the previous static maps first before starting. 🎮🕹️🖥️👾

We have recieved a lot of requests for a more traditional walkthrough for Wizardy 8. Yes, it is coming, but it will likely take a different format than the other walkthroughs. It will be customizable with different start options and how much to spoil. It will likely be the last section created.
