Manage limited time and resources for baking, in an effort to 'have it all'. You're a single parent who bakes stuff to nourish their family and shit, but you're also baking stuff for co-workers and your boss, and baking stuff for potential romantic interests to show that you care. 'Eton Mess' is a family / career / dating sim. oh, wait, you wanted something nice and life-affirming? Hmm ok I can do that: Upon its release, the RPS Wot I Think will applaud the character art and core NPC social simulation systems, but lament that 'it all feels a little bit half-baked.' Your goal is eventually to train them to forego desserts entirely, in favor of a nice glass of port and a fat cigar. If they eat 'childish' or 'feminine' desserts then they'll lose status among older boys, while the trendiest boys will adopt certain diets (gluten-free, vegan, paleo) which you'll have to account for.

At first they'll only eat simple biscuits because they're like 13 years old, but at some point you'll ween them onto creme brulee, and eventually 90% cacao dark chocolate truffle tarts flecked with gold. So, 'Eton Mess' is a puzzle-strategy game about making sure Eton boys eat the 'right' kinds of desserts, to cultivate their 'taste' and raise their status in society. Who's going to eat it, and why? This is the angle that most cooking video games ignore, how does food actually function in society? What's weird about home baking is the end, when you suddenly have all this fucking food to get rid of, and it's going stale with every passing second. I've never seen this show, but I do bake a bit myself. Your aim would be to balance the audience's reaction to the show, making sure you create funny moments without tipping them totally in favour of one contestant, making sure you add drama without revealing who fails too early in an episode.Д¬reator of Cobra Club, Rinse and Repeat, Stick Shift / Twitter Then you have to pick what actually makes it into the show - what are you going to cut, what are you going to leave in, how are you going to edit the clips (do you twist the interview about the garlic cake so it's ridiculous, or intriguingly tense?).

You'd watch an episode play out (a lot faster than it does on TV), and events that generate clips would ping on-screen so you'd notice them happening - someone dropped their pie, the posh guy's put something weird in his dessert, and so on.

I'd design a game that put you behind the scenes of the show, and let you deal with the challenges of reality TV - sort of The Republia Times crossed with The Movies. I emailed some game designers and asked them a question: if you were charged with making a computer game of The Great British Bake Off, how would you do it?

After a few days spent facing a future free from sugar, gluten, and the strange tension between Paul Hollywood and hosts Mel & Sue, I decided to do something about it.

The latest series of The Great British Bake Off has come to an end, causing those of us hooked by its cream-filled buns, end-of-the-pier puns, and oddly sincere celebration of the human spirit, to feel as empty inside as an incompletely prepared batch of jam donuts.
