News: XJ Premiere: ARISE 2 by Thunder

15/09/20 - 00:20:48

Written by: Nubz

Comments: 30

Good evening XJ,

Yes, as the title says we have a brand new kreedz movie to present for you guys! Most of you have probably seen the multiplayer movie called ARISE and today we are showcasing you the sequel:
ARISE 2 by

CyniuThunder

.

It is starring 18 different players from the community and in total of 57 demos! That's big. You will see various different trickjump techniques used throughout the movie and as a little spoiler: the legendary

IceVip can be seen in this masterpiece.

CyniuThunder

managed to keep the theme of the first episode and improving it to the next level with the additions of creative choices in VFX editing. The movie is separated into three different parts: MELANCHOLY, TRIP and DARKNESS edited to great dynamic drum and bass tunes. Separated parts builds up the mood perfectly and the mixing of those three parts is done in a way that your heart rate will stay up for 9 minutes!

Now I would like to let

CyniuThunder

himself share some backstory behind the scenes:

Howdy everybody! It’s been a while since the first ARISE. A lot of things happened during that time, from burning down my graphics card after the render of ROTW #218, waiting long months for new CPU to arrive and then jumping into busy season at work. But other than that the sequel was delayed mostly by my procrastination and lazyness, I was just editing from time to time and then delaying it again. However last month was finally productive enough, I was editing almost everyday and the results can be seen below.

Some of the ideas for the sequel appeared in my mind while I was still editing first ARISE and others appeared later on during the whole process. I still have all my notes here and there + my magical excel file where I was tracking and calculating everything. This was also my first attempt to completely change my editing workflow, which was hard to adapt but helped in the long run.

In ARISE 2 I tried to tell the story without actually telling the story, I still wanted all the trickjumps to be the main focus of the movie, while music, edit and especially “part intros” to set the mood. While I’m not sure if I achieved it, I think I am happy with the results. Also for those who have seen the first ARISE, there are some little connections here and there, I tried to insert some little follow-ups throughout the movie.

Massive thanks to anyone who sent the demos, knowing how hard it was to get any demos before, I was actually overwhelmed by amount of demos I received now, thank you!

Also thanks to ivansky for the motivation and talks, my brother MatsPL for being my alfa-viewer almost everytime since the day one (even tho he has not seen much of the ARISE 2 until I rendered it) and special thanks goes to Nubz : the amount of support I got from you, help with getting more demos, asking people, motivating me and being excited about it – I really appreciate that!

Now hit the play button and enter to the world of trickjumping!

News: WR Release #766 - 27 New World Records + Routes

05/09/20 - 19:40:45

Written by: Commandeer

Comments: 60

Important:

Hello community! XJ now has it's own routes section, where you can find all the current routes and their rules. All the routes have been manually checked and we've added screenshots to the more confusing cases. In the screenshots the green arrow indicates the correct route. Please inform us of any possible errors in the information, since this is a lot of manual work mistakes are bound to happen. Along with this release a great number of new routes will also be added to the list. Few older routes also needed some reconfiguration, since the route rule wasn't working as originally intended. If you have more suggestions for possible routes feel free to contact any of the demoadmins, huge thank you to everyone who worked on this project!

Routes that have been modified:

kz_kzfr_bhopspace[-md] renamed into kz_kzfr_bhopspace[-boost]
rpz_downfall[boxes] renamed into rpz_downfall
rpz_downfall[boxes_full] renamed into rpz_downfall[full]

In agreement with the current wr holder, the records on the following maps have been removed and the route rule now forbids the usage of any of the boosts in the maps:

kz_man_bhopdesert[-boost]
kz_man_bhopocean[-boost]
kz_man_bhopsnow[-boost]

If you're uncertain about how some route works, please always ask the demoadmins before trying to record it.

NEW ROUTES: (Check all the routes here!)

clintmo_bhopriver[-boost] - You are not allowed to use any of the boosts in the map.
clintmo_pentablock[-boost] - You are not allowed to use the barrels for a boost.
ex_deathdrop[-md] - You are not allowed to use the edges of the map.
kz_canyon[-md] - You are not allowed to jump straight to the trees.
kz_cg_wigbl0ck[-md] - You are not allowed to perform any edge/slide/jumpbugs.

Hello community!

We're about to finally create our own routes section to have clear rules for each route and to make it easier to add new routes to the existing maps. We've gone through most of the current map pool and planned some new routes, but we would also like to ask for possible suggestions from you as the ones who will be recording them. The main purpose of these new routes is to allow players to enjoy the whole map the way it's meant to be played. If you have some good suggestions in mind, please do approach any of the demoadmins with a pm or on Steam/Discord.

News: Map Release: 7 New Maps

11/08/20 - 15:12:31

Written by: hoLy

Comments: 28

Hello everyone,

It's time for another map release, this time containing 3 kz maps and 4 custom ones. We still have some maps ready to be released, expect them to be out before the end of August.

Download all maps in this release: HERE

The maps are:

kz_blockrunner_2020 by

SadPuppy

Challenge: Easy / Average
Length: Long
Type: Climb
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

You may not believe in aliens. Or the boogey monster. Or John Wick for that matter. But, embarking on this somewhat cold and dark endeavour you probably shouldn't look out the windows when in a small corridor then. I'm not saying that there will be flying saucers circling a huge spaceship or anything. Probably best avoided though. And if you find yourself jumping on tiny UFOs just close your eyes. That way you won't notice the few times they beam you up either. Oh, and the alien that is looking up at you from under the floor probably was an enemy to the other race anyway. Don't worry, but keep running. I'm not sure about John Wick yet, but I'm starting to believe in aliens. Beam me up again please!

kz_ins_azzerun by

hm^

Challenge: Average
Length: Short
Type: Climb / Bhop / Slide
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

This is an Aztec themed map containing a variety of different jumps like slides and bhops. It's a short but challenging speedrun map indeed! If you turn on your Speedy Gonzales mood, it will definitely be an important help for you to actually finish kz_ins_azzerun!

kz_machupicchu by

Kreedz

and

SadPuppy

Challenge: Average
Length: Medium
Type: Climb
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Once upon a time, Kreedz and SadPuppy started this map. Then it was put into hibernation for many years until a curious puppy thawed it and started investigating the mountain. It turned out to contain a beautiful crystal cave full with Kreedz. Or typical Kreedz jumps at least. Wag your tail and keep climbing outside and inside in a resurrected oldschool map. And check out the secret in the water. It's always in the water, as they stated in a horror movie once.

kz_monte by

CiNdOR^

Challenge: Easy
Length: Short
Type: Climb
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

I bet you have heard of Monte Carlo! But did you know that Monte means mountain? This is Monte, created by CiNdOR^. This Monte is a short climbing map. All you need is to conquer and master all the jumps and sweet combos along the way all the way up to the top. Finish the map to enjoy the view from this Monte!

ffy_hb_tipsy by

F1uffY

Challenge: Hard / Extreme
Length: Medium / Long
Type: Climb / Bhop
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Happy birthday, tipsy! Before you are ready to start climbing, you will receive lots of hp which may be a hint that you will need lots.. If you don't have a decent plugin like KZ-Rush or such which autoboosts you, make sure to grab the HP manually. Map theme is a solid design effort which is representative of the Core Level Blocks. But alas, the clock is ticking. Are you ready to locate and hit that end switch to stop the clock?

fu_plainhop2 by

FuZzy1

Challenge: Hard / Extreme
Length: Medium
Type: Bhop
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

It is here! Plainhop 2 has arrived! Another colorful map design that emanates throughout the entire map, with different shapes and varieties of jumps that are entertaining to bunny hop and combo. If you somehow enjoy colors, then you are bound to fall in love with this map.

muj_time by

muJik

Challenge: Hard / Extreme
Length: Medium
Type: Climb / Slide
Screenshots: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

They claim that time flies, and it may do just that when you play this map by a legendary mapper, muJik, who created this quality map which forces you to think in the beginning. What is going on? As time passes the map gets more interesting however. Main jumping type for this map are slides, then climbs and finally some mazes at the end. Still thinking about it? Time is wasting and the clock is already ticking!

Thanks to

KarLi

and SadPuppy for the descriptions and everyone else who helped with this release. If you have any feedback for the map admins or mappers, express your thoughts in the comments.

Go record and have fun!

Always yours,
XJ
