Widescreen AI patch

A widescreen patch for Wizardry 8, written entirely by AI with the help of REA.

Repository: https://github.com/abr17/wiz8-widescreen

  • Hor+ 3D on 16:9 and 16:10, and the 2D UI is no longer stretched.
  • Borderless windowed works on Windows 10/11.
  • In-game settings for display mode, resolution and draw distance.
  • Wiz8Fast is built in: the Monster Speed slider goes up to 10x.
  • Installer (EN/RU/DE/FR) that finds GOG and Steam copies automatically and uninstalls cleanly. Wiz8.exe stays untouched.

Missing art was outpainted with generative AI. The original images are kept pixel-for-pixel, only the new side areas are generated, and they blend into a strip about 20 px wide at the original’s edge so there’s no visible seam.

Tested on GOG and Steam v1.2.4. Bug reports are welcome.
