Crimson Tear

Just a quick update on the latest #Wizardry 8 map. Haven't gotten far with the Rapax Rift map since I keep messing up on measurements somehow so I need to constantly tweek or redo areas. I've also been very busy with little time to work on it, too. I'm hoping I will make more progress next week.

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.

I would like to thank everyone who has donated so far! We have reached just over $200 over all sources today! I have decided that I will turn off all ads for the last 2 months of 2026! If donations continue, they will stay off! If you're still able to help out, your donations are appreciated!

Our Wizardry 8 interactive map for the Mountain Wilderness Retro Dungeon is done and published! The Rapax Rift area is up next! #Wizardry #RetroGame 👾 🎮 💻

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.

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.

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.

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 combined Wilderness Clearing and Rapax Away Camp Interactive Map has been released! The next #Wizardry 8 map will be the Mountain Wilderness. #fantasymap #retro 👾🎮🖥️

There's no recourse if your decursed item recurses itself. #gaming #pcgaming #retrogaming #crpgs #wizardry #wizardry8 youtube.com/shorts/IL4he...

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.

The Interactive Map for Wizardry 8's South East Wilderness has been completed! The next will be the Wilderness Clearing. #Wizardry 🎮🕹️🖥️

Getting closer to completing the South East Wilderness map. Still have the temple and markers to finish, but it should be be done next week.

Wizardry VII's PS1 Remake 'The Jewel of Guardia' Gets English Fan Patch. (Repost)

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! 🎮🖥️👾

We have received now reached over $100 from donations from PayPal and GoFundMe. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. As we getting closer to the first $200 milestone, I have reduced all vignette ads by 50% and adjusted the formatting styles of anchor ads to be less intrusive.

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.

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.

Come journey under the sea with the latest interactive map for #Wizardry 8's Bayjin Shallows. I am fully expecting the Sea Caves to be a long process, but who knows, it might go quicker than I think.

An update has been made to the Bayjin map. It is just a minor update to match the entrance of the Bayjin Shallows better and updated textures.

The interactive map for #Wizardry 8's Bayjin area has been completed! Next is the Bayjin Shallows, then the Sea Caves. 🎮🕹️🖥️👾

The Bayjin map is about 80% complete. I am hoping to be done early to mid-next week!

I am so tired of Ads. I've already reduced what I can and still break even, but with the rising hosting costs, I need your help to remove the rest. If we get past $200 I will remove those annoying full-screen ads first. gofund.me/9b8cec93d

The interactive map for #Wizardry 8's Mt. Gigas Water Caves is done! This one was a lot simpler than most, even if it did require new textures and objects to be built. The next map, Bayjin, will defintely take longer. 🖥️🎮🕹️👾 #RetroVGames

The interactive and static map has been completed for #Wizardry 8's Mt. Gigas Peak! How many people knew you could open four crates in this map? 🎮🖥️🕹️👾 The next map will be the Mt. Gigas Water Caves.

All the static maps have been updated with legends and work continues on the map for #Wizardry 8's Mt. Gigas Peak. Still need to finish the ground-level for the bulding and the entrance, but it's already coming along nicely. Hoping to have it completed in a week (or a few days more).

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. 🎮🕹️🖥️👾

Got a bit delayed, but the Upper Mt. Gigas Caves have been mapped fully out. Just adding the map markers in, so it should be complete in a few days.

The Mt. Gigas Caves interactive map for #Wizardry 8 has been finished and released! This one took a lot more time than I was expecting, but I think the extra effort paid off. I expect the Upper Caves map to be quicker. 🖥️🎮🕹️👾 #RetroVGames

Finally have the Mt. Gigas Caves mapped out and populated. You can't tell at this zoom level, but every notable landmark is visible when the interactive map is zoomed in. Just need to add the insane amount of map markers. It should be done by the end of this week at the latest. #Wizardry 8

Our interactive map of #Wizardry 8's Umpani Base Camp has been published! Next, we push onward into Mt. Gigas, which is expected to take several weeks due to the complex cave structure. #retroVgames 🎮🕹️🖥️👾

It took me a while to figure out how best to show the moving platform in the obstacle course in the Umpani Base Camp. I think the animation was the best choice. #Wizardry 8.

Another new map in just 10 days! The Northern Wilderness Interactive Map has been completed for our #Wizardry 8 guide. Next is the secret dungeon before we head up to the Umpani Base Camp. #retroVgames 🎮🖥️👾

Another #Wizardry 8 interactive map has been completed in under 3 weeks. The Lower Marten's Bluff map is now available! I will be tweaking a few things on older maps for a few days before continuing with the Northern Wilderness and the retro dungeon within. 🎮🕹️🖥️👾

The Interactive map for #Wizardry 8's Marten's Bluff has been finished just before it's time to ring in the new year! Heading onward to the Lower Marten's Bluff next. Here's hoping that the new year will allow me finish this guide before 2027! 🎮🕹️🖥️

Progress on the Marten's Bluff Map for Wizardry 8 continues. I'm still a few weeks away from completing it, but it is already coming together nicely.

Our interactive map for the Mine Tunnels area of #Wizardry 8 has been completed! Marten's Bluff will be the next region to be mapped out. 🎮🕹️🖥️🖱️

The Mine Tunnels for Wizardy 8 has been mapped out. I estimate an extra week left to get all the map markers complete before it is published.

The page for #Wizardry8 spells have been fully and officially released. I really enjoyed making this section as it let my artistic side flow. The map for the Mine Tunnels is next on my list, followed by Marten's Bluff (upper and lower). 🖥️🎮🕹️
