MAP RELEASE #2 - A Journey Through Time [4 new maps]
Hello Kreedz!
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the incredible journey of our talented mapper Chrizzy, whose passion for creating engaging kz maps spans nearly two decades.
It all began back in 2005 with his first kz map, kz_junglemountain . This was just the start of a long and fruitful relationship with the mapping community. After being invited to craft some maps for XJ, he quickly became known for his kz_xj tagged creations, showcasing his growing skills and creativity.
Over the years, he took on several roles, becoming a map checker and later a map admin for XJ. He didn’t stop there; he also contributed to the Norwegian and Scandinavian communities, kzno and kzsca. Handling news, demo releases, and map releases became part of his journey, helping to shape the community and keep everyone connected.
After some time away, he returned to mapping in 2021—a welcome comeback! He dabbled in mapping during 2016/2017 but mostly kept it low-key. This year, he’s fully re-engaged, pouring his heart and soul into his latest creations.
His dedication and love for mapping are evident in every project, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next!
- the foundational jumps and overall design of this map were established in 2008. Since then, I've revisited it multiple times, progressively enhancing its features. In 2024, I focused on enriching the map with numerous intricate details and scenic elements, aiming to create a more engaging and expansive experience for players.

-this map was originally created in 2006. Due to its large size, I had to split it into two parts. For various reasons, it sat in my map folder untouched for years. In 2013, I decided to merge the two halves, but to successfully compile it, I had to remove two caves. After completing the map, I placed it in my "ready to submit" folder. However, I never got around to submitting it.
In early 2016, I discovered new compiling tools that allowed me to reintroduce the two caves I had removed. With those restored, I finally compiled the full map. While most of the jumps remain nearly identical to the original 2006 version, I made some tweaks to the lighting and fixed a few bugs.
This map is a tribute to and was inspired by several classic maps, including:
