Consume Me, the highly personal game about feeling ‘stupid, fat and ugly' in high school

If you visited the V&A's Design/Play/Disrupt exhibition in 2018, you may have played an interesting minigame collection, in which you fought wobbly physics to feed a girl named Jenny, using a Tetris-style board to achieve the perfect calorie amount, and then twisting her into pilates poses. Almost seven years later, the full version of Consume Me, which won this year's Independent Games festival grand prize, is set for a September release. According to developer Jenny Jiao Hsia, the game has become a semiautobiographical tale about how she felt 'stupid, fat and ugly' in high school. What started as a collection of minigames about Hsia's struggles with dieting and disordered eating grew into a game that looks at the many facets of her life as a teenager, including her relationship with her mother – who appears accompanied by Persona-style boss battle music and always finds a reason to nag – as well as her insecurities around her first long-term relationship. Hsia and co-designer Alec 'AP' Thomson have been making games together since their time studying at NYU Game Center. The duo conceived of Consume Me when Hsia showed Thomson old diaries featuring her calorie charts and notes about dieting. 'I said, 'Hey, doesn't this look like a game?',' she recalls. Thomson agreed. 'We had a little prototype and then we got funding, and the game grew from there,' says Thomson. As Hsia and Thomson grappled with the challenge of making their largest game yet, the years went on. 'The last big project we worked on together was essentially a student game for us,' Thomson says. That game was Beglitched, a match-three puzzler from 2016. 'Compared to that, our whole process on Consume Me is completely different.' Hsia is self-depreciating about the experience: 'On Beglitched, I physically worked next to AP every day, and I was happy to let him tell me what to do. My set of tasks on this and our smaller games was very clearcut – [with Consume Me] I had to take more responsibility. I don't think I'm a very disciplined person, that's why it took so long.' Hsia stresses that Consume Me wasn't a way for her to work through her issues with disordered eating, as she had left that time of her life behind before she started development on the game. Instead, she thinks that working from her own experiences makes for a more interesting story. 'I think it's boring if you're just inventing something from your mind without any tangible experience, or at least I don't have the imagination to do that,' she says. 'The character of Jenny you see in the game isn't solely based on me, either. She's very much an amalgamation of AP and myself. She's very diligent about reaching goals and crossing things off her list for example, because that also makes for a good game, but in reality, it's AP who's more like that, not me. I wrote all those calorie diagrams down, but I didn't actually follow them.' Hsia seems surprised at the idea that a lot of Consume Me feels very relatable. People who have difficulty concentrating will probably see themselves in the reading minigame, in which Jenny's head perpetually rotates away from the book she's holding. There also just never seems to be quite enough time to do it all, and more often than not, Jenny's budget comes down to a lucky 20-dollar bill she finds on the street in a minigame that sees her walk her dog around worrying amounts of poop. Jenny's habit of finding money on the streets of New York is apparently another well-documented facet of Hsia's own life. 'I don't actually know what people will take away from it,' she says. 'That's the interesting thing to me. You cherrypick parts of your life to show to complete strangers, and then you watch them react.' Consumer Me is released on PC on 25 September

My house is covered in Christmas decorations in August – people say it's a ‘joke' to do it in summer but my kids love it

IT may only be August, but one mother has fully kitted out her home ready for the festive season. With four months until Christmas Day, Janet, a mother from the UK, has not only put up her tree, but has also dug out her festive candles and cushions too. 2 2 Posting on social media, the content creator gave her followers a close-up look at her Christmas decorations - but left many divided. While some thought it was a 'joke' to put up decorations during the summer holidays, others thought her displays looked 'stunning.' In a short clip shared online, Janet stood in front of her tree and beamed: 'The house is covered in Christmas stuff - I gotta show you how beautiful the tree is.' Not only this, but Janet then added: 'We've even got the winter candles out, we've even got Christmas cushions. 'Even put a little tree outside - when I say little, it's about five foot, right, and all in my hall has got lights.' While some may not agree with putting up Christmas decorations in August, the mother shared: 'You should have seen how excited the kids were, you should have seen how quick they ran to the loft.' 'We've been decorating for hours, so I cannot wait to actually sit down and chill, but it looks beautiful, absolutely stunning.' Despite wanting to sit down and relax, Janet also explained that she 'cannot wait' to get the Christmas decorations out for her back garden too. The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ janet777799, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 53,400 views. But social media users were left totally divided by Janet's clip - while some thought it was too soon to put up Christmas decorations, others were impressed with her festive displays. I feel like a failure for only getting my 9-year-old cheap bits off TikTok for Christmas, but trolls slam my 'sob story' One person said: 'This is a joke surely.' Another asked: 'Why can't people just wait for the actual months?' Why do shops start selling Christmas stock so early? Charlotte Harrington, the manager at Summerhill's garden centre in Basildon, Essex, explained: 'For many, many years now, we've opened our Christmas department on the August bank holiday. "The stock comes in early and we gradually start putting it out on the shop floor. This is just a small fraction of what we have. 'But our Christmas displays are so spectacular it takes time to get everything set up, so we have to start early. 'It may seem a little odd putting them out now — especially with the hot weather. 'But we have to plan so far in advance.' To this, Janet responded and penned: 'Because we're not boring.' Whilst a third commented: 'Ridiculous, we still haven't finished summer yet. I've seen it all now.' But at the same time, others loved Janet's festive displays, as one beamed: 'So here for this, totally my vibe.' A second gushed: 'I love it, it's absolutely gorgeous, it looks so cosy.' Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'I'm so jealoussssss!! It's stunning.'
