# New free game that’s free! And Tim hosting awards!

March 26th 2013

Important news! We have released a new free game that’s free (FGTF)! That’s a new term I made up that you can use instead of “free-to-play” since I guess that means something else now. But this game is super-free!

It’s called Host Master Deux: Quest for Identity, the sequel to the original Host Master you probably played a billion years ago.

This new FGTF was created in its entirety by [Benedikt Hummel and Marius Fietzek](http://majorbueno.tumblr.com/), two strange and talented game developers. If you’re a [backer](http://www.doublefine.com/dfa), you may remember Marius from his contributions to the newly-named [Broken Age](http://www.brokenagegame.com/), during whose development he has been charming us with his amusing German accent.

So why would we ask Benedikt and Marius to create such an excellent new FGTF? Well, Tim is hosting the [Game Developers Choice Awards](http://www.gamechoiceawards.com/) again this year! You can [watch them live on Wednesday, March 27](http://www.gamespot.com/shows/gamespot-live/?event=2013_igf_gdc_awards_live20130327), and you probably should, because there will be a tantalizing bit of Double Fine-related shenanigans at the end.

But until then, just play more Host Master Deux! You love it.
