As I get such a lot of e-mail about Prezzie Hunt I have decided to add a

news page to keep anyone who is interested informed of what is happening with it.

October 2007

As last year there has been enough requests for a new level so I will be starting

on it in the near future and if all goes to plan the 3rd installment will be released in
time for Christmas.

Publisher

Last month I was contacted by a publisher wanting me to make approximately 20
levels and in his words "market the game properly" which would mean charging
for it but that isn't going to happen, Prezzie Hunt has always been Freeware and
always will be, I realise that it is a chance to make a bit of money but the fact that it
is on many websites and the download figures are very high doesn't mean that it
will sell, because it is free is the main reason most people download it, of course if
anyone wants to send me some money I am pretty sure I could find a use for it.

Fan Game

Recently I was contacted Alex Furbush who is the self professed number 1 fan of
Prezzie Hunt, he likes it so much that he asked if it would be OK for him to make a
2D version of the game and put it on YOYO games, of course I said yes, I have
never had a fan game made before and it is much appreciated, if you want to
check it out the game is here and you can either download it or play it online.

Platform Game

Before Alex contacted me I had started a 2D platform version myself and as
Alex's version is a top down maze type game I have decided to carry on with it, I
am using Blitz to make it and as I am learning the language as I go don't expect the
finished game anytime soon, below are a couple of early screenshots.
