WAKE UP NEW KLDC RESULTS JUST DROPPED
It has been quite some time since the end of the Kaizo Level Design Contest, and I can assure you, it hasn’t been spent mindlessly. I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, GlitchCat7, LouisDoucet, katun24 and lungfish3000 for their incredible effort in playing through all of these entries multiple times, truly investing in the evaluation of them, and providing not only results, but the type of feedback that will advance this genre of design forward leaps and bounds.
I also want to thank the PR staff and admins for their patience with us, and with me, as we crawled our way to the finish line. As you’ll soon see, I feel the results are worth the wait.
And now, the results.

FULL JUDGING AND SCORING BREAKDOWN
So, if you want to know the reason for the delay? Between them, the judges have compiled nearly 400 pages of feedback, critique, rationale and comments on this year’s group of entries. This was their decision - so impressed were they by the overall quality of the entries that, in addition to their VODs and streams, they wanted to make sure they detailed not only why they gave levels the scores they did, but also their overarching thought process and comments to all who wanted to learn from this year’s competition.
This feedback, along with the full scoring breakdown, can be found at the contest website: https://bit.ly/kldc22. Below are links to the judge feedback documents, as well:
