Welcome to GDKO 2023

Round 3

Game Dev Knock Out (GDKO) is an elimination tournament for game developers of all skillsets. It's played out over 5 rounds between January and May with the game developers with the lowest scores being eliminated each round until only 5 developers remain to take part in the final of the competition.

Congratulations to round 2 winner Endmark Games and also to round 2 runner ups Loten and Jebouin for some fantastic games!

Also well done to Mag for slipping through by the narrowest of margins, doing enough to sway guest judge Mighty Jor and earning the round 2 wildcard.
