News: Meet blackelf and his work

Hello XJ,

the next interviewee is

blackelf2002, a moviemaker known especially for his outstanding work on fu_extreme documentary. Recently, he edited few demos, that have been saved for the next release. The clips we present to you exclusively before the release itself are also made by the today's star. He stated that he learned a lot while editing my demos and it is my personal pleasure to have my demos immortalized this way. At his 16 years old, this guy shows his talents and drive to improve himself in graphic-related stuff and I am sure he couldn't have any better start than that. Enjoy the interview with

blackelf2002 in extended newspost!

Let us present the mentioned clips of which two are cut versions due to countless fails. Stay tuned for the upcoming release!

Map: kzblt_dx_blueshadow2

blackelf2002: Working with this demo was really annoying, some the fails were really difficult to cut out. The weapon animation was different every time + on lot of jumps the movement was really different. But on some places, the movement was almost the same and you can barely notice a cut there. On time 1:10, I can't almost see it even if I focus.

shooting-star : As you might have noticed, this map has been remade. The cause of it was a part of the map that was simply impossible to do with a slightest fps drop. The remake resulted in even harder blockpart, that required a serious effort to complete. You cannot imagine my surprise when I was caught not knowing the rest of the map after completing this blockpart.

Map: kzblt_dx_mercy

blackelf2002: This one was more fun working on. The map was more interesting for me, and there were less cuts needed. Also on this one, the cuts were so much easier to do. The movement was insanely consistent in this demo.

shooting-star : I enjoyed recording this map even though it has some pretty nasty jumps. While on the last block, my keyboard stalled and I had to complete two blockparts repeatedly. After making that happen, I somehow did the last block almost first try. This was a huge luck and as a result, I spent on this map less time than expected.

Map: kkz_texture

blackelf2002: This is what I consider to be my most succesfull work. There is plenty of reasons: You can see your own shadow, and reflections, I added an object that was never located on this map, and replaced the original, and also the titles. I was aiming for a futuristic look, and I think i succeeded.

shooting-star : Recording kkz_texture was always my kreedz goal. I never managed to get consistent on either the window part or the drop shortcut. Now I finally broke the skill requirement and managed to get this WR even with a shortcut discovered years ago and proven "possible in a run" by patchouli on a public server.

Finally, check blackelf's YouTube channel for more!

XJ team

News: ROTW #206 - fykseN on kz_man_congo_b01

Hello community,

last release brought a bunch of truly great demos. The run of the week is

fykseN

's run on kz_man_congo_b01. We asked the man behind this record to describe his efforts. Our gratitude goes to

akse, who kindly offered his help in moviemaking aspect of ROTW's!

I still love to re-visit the oldest maps and search for new ways on them. This one was a test for myself as even the oldest demos from Toffifee are still holding strong. It's never easy to keep up with the precision, but this time I alternated few combos and added my own signature to the run. To be completely honest, it took a while to figure out the last part and I also needed a pause after the most bizzare fail of my career on the ledge just before the last tower. However, this game is about recording and I purely enjoyed this old map piece. I'd like to thank Toffifee for the kind words and PU9maker for the laughs on my LAN, long live the KZ :)

When voting for your favorites please keep your comment clear and follow the voting instructions written below.

How to vote:

Pick 3 of your favorite maps from the submissions and post them in order from 1st to 3rd place as follows:

1st mapname
2nd mapname
3rd mapname

1st choice - 3 points
2nd choice - 2 points
3rd choice - 1 point

Put your selections as first in your comment so that it will be easier to check. After you've written down your selection you can write whatever else you wish. Everyone can vote only once. After the voting expires points will be counted and the results announced.

Please note that even though all maps are available for voting, all of them might not make it into the official
